Judging from the avatar, they'd be the one in the balaclava.

Everyone welcome I'm sure.

Seriously though, all welcome. Even our too-cool-for-school balaclava clad friend there.

Just remember, this is a cliff top location and it's very, very dark... :wink:

If there is any barbequeing going on I will be bringing the haggis n tattie scones and maybe some black pudding if that changes anyone's mind.

For better or for worse :P

Round of applause as the Scotsman shows how it's done.
Loving your work there Techboy and great to hear your in.

Yes, we had a BBQ on the go last year, albeit the location ensured we had to keep it fairly small. We have to lump everything about a mile down a rough track so do consider weight and packing. As I recall I did a nice line in pork and chorizo sausages as well as venison burgers. Rikkiebags managed to cremate his sausages however, causing much amusement and talk of Cajun bangers :wink:

I'll remind you if the 'Pfffft' as we yomp back UP the track at sparrows-fart on the Sunday morning, complete with ranging hangover and stinking of smoke. There's a distinct gradient :wink:

The mackerel sounds amazing man! As we were packing up to go around 5.30AM last summer, two guys were out chucking a couple of lines in. We were all sat with a brew watching them. Don't think they caught much though.

In other news, I think Saurus might be joining us from Wales now too? Huzzah! 8)

Booo! That's rubbish man! :(

Of course, you could always line up something extra-special for the weekend before/after.

'Yeah, I know it should really be that weekend baby, but it was all booked that weekend, so I got the next one instead. Have I shown you this thumping great box of chocolates/piece of jewelry/spa-day (delete as applicable) that I bought you too by the way??'

Amazing news for those attending in July!

Just had word that we'll have an exclusive new track from the incredible, the wonderful, the sublime Boreal Network to play on the night. Our good friend Turquoise70 has sent me a preview and frankly it's just superb 8)

Might have a few other little surprises and messages from one or two other people on Twoism lined up as well. :wink:

So this is a bit weird, in a strange coincidence-type way. I was just watching Mexicola's promo video when I realised... "I know this place!"

I used to go to Tom's Field campsite just down the road in Langton Matravers, when I was bit younger. More recently, every year we go to Worth Matravers and stay in a cottage with the extended family, about a 100 yards away from.... the Square and Compass pub (a cider menu without rival!)

Have been down to the coast several times and in those exact caves. I've never known what those caves were used for - I assume they have something to do with World War II, but told my six year old nephew that they were 'pirate caves'.

Small world.

Woah, mad jealous about this! Unfortuantely, as many have pointed out, the U.S. is just to big to organize a meeting like this. However, this time next year I'll be in Germany, so who knows you might get a visit from me

Unfortunately Mex, I shall residing at the glittering palace of delights that is, ahem, Butlins. The lifestyle changesyou have to make when you have a little one really hit hard. The only time I've been to a Butlins previously was for an ATP. Hi-De-Hi!

It's testament to the incredible Twoism community and generosity of it's members, that we can put something on like this, and it be an annual event. Best place on the net for sure, can't wait to have a beer, make a bonfire and listen to some cassettes 8)
