4‰ abv. I've made beers and lagers up 12% abv in the past and wine up to 17% abv. I'm not keen on the dreaded Buckfast though. 😕

About 40 years ago I used to make quite a bit real ale, Stout was a favourite. Then one day I decided to see what would happen if I increased the sugar, errr a fair bit. Suffice to say when tried it nearly killed me. I ended up pouring it on the back garden and it killed the weeds. So good outcome in the end.

I realize that this is LONG WINDED and completely alien to me, I apologise.
 

 You havin a laugh Derren? You excelled yourself there!!! All valid points and I am sure everyone will adhere to the regulations.

As you say, “a SP is better than No SP“ 👍

[jamie56]

Hi Derek I can see how you were a lecturer!😂😂😂😂 all kidding aside very well empathised and totally to the point, as Ian and yourself say any form of SP is better than none, we all have to take care of not only ourselves but each other, looking forward to seeing the old faces and the new.

P'S I've ordered an ear horn for you so you can hear us all😲😲😲😲😲

Hi everyone,

I know that it has become a tradition of the Autumn Star Camp, BUT  !!

It is with great regret I have to inform every one that the Pie and Peas Night is cancelled.

I have looked at it very carefully and consider it virtually impossible to implement the "Pie and Peas Night" with safety in mind.

 

 

 

The logistics of heating, and serving the meals without anyone coming into close contact whilst keeping the food hot and safe to consume is nigh on impossible.

This is the main reason why the Pie and Peas Night is cancelled, to eliminate any chance of close contact!

 

The other part : 

I cannot guarantee who has touched the pies and how Covid-19  secure their preparations were/are. Also how safely they are transported, (if the boxes are damaged or contaminated during transportation). I do not want be responsible in any way shape or form, for any chance of the spread of Covid-19.

 

We will be in a large open field and I want it to stay that way well and I mean well separated from one another. The pitches are in adherence to Government directions for a Camp Site and are  well over 5 metres apart so a good rule to measure every thing by.

 

I am sure you will all understand, that we must maintain a safe Covid-19 secure distance from one another.

This is not a sudden decision. I have been trying to come up with a safe method and failed miserably.

We just need to try to think of all contingencies and either fix them, or cancel the Camp, that is something I am striving not to do.

Stay Safe,

Derek

 

[jamie56]

Wisely said that man, but a still think your just chickening out of making all them pies. Does this mean the two pie eating gurus, will have to eat double next year. 😆😆

[Physopto]

Yes Jim, I am expecting a fair bit of flack from two of our members, And I picked that term carefully 🤣

Derek

[Uplooker]

Hi Derren,

Understand the rational. Wise move, under the circumstances. Everyone will understand.

Better safe than sorry, it will still be a great SP!!

The beer I shall be bringing will be sprayed with a food grade sanitiser, that kill ALL microbes stone dead! This won't cause any strange tastes to the food, as it's food safe and used to sanitise utensils and food preparation areas, it won't taint food with any odd tastes. 👍

Thanks for the update Derek and fingers are crossed all over the country. 

[Physopto]

Well with the new Covid-19 restrictions announced today by the Government  for the North East, I will have to see how things pan out.

I will update everyone closer to the start of the Star Camp, as it is pointless at present. The restrictions may be changed by then.

Fingers crossed as Damian says.

Stay safe everybody.

All COVID issues are resolved by Just covering yourself head to toe in Sanitizer and downing a full bottle of a cheap blend in one go.
