Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I think the whole idea is

there's a list group somewhere

ithink everyone brings something or you all agree to what to take ???

runner or their suporters will either travel threir to drop their own stuff off ( early ) or hand it over to Exciteabble or someone at the HQ - by a deadline time - then their gone

i cannot help - i do not know - sorry

Corona
Wine Legs, your first job, is to have water ready and hand it out as reuired. closely followed by being super supportive of everyone and madly incredibly wildly supportive of any Fetchie that comes round the corner. :-)

Go Fetchie Go Fetchie :-)

So far we have...

JJ Flash
Brian J
Exciteabubble
Clueless
Lyra OK
Nightjar?
Sarahwoo ?
Phal (probably)
Justmel?
Binks
Wine Legs

The brackets indicate people who said they would come but I havent confirmed with. A number of people usually turn up out of the blue but if you can badger anyone to join us they will be welcome.

We are an official water station so we have to hand out water. We will also have ballons and stuff in red and yellow. We have a responsibility to make a lot of noise and support EVERYONE coming through. No ordinary staid water station for us. We also have to have fun. It's the law.

We used to be in the village beyond the industrial estate but I think there were complaints about the noise.

I have a small budget from LOTTL to buy jelly babies and stuff but if you feel bringing more then go for it.

Also taking suggestions for things I can spend the budget on :)

coconut mushrooms are nicer than jelly babies and require less chewing, tescos usually have 3 bags for £2
Also, if buying jelly babies you can get more for your money if you buy own brand, by the time they have been rained on then they all taste the same anyway.
