Snoopdog's Summer Bake-Off - Sunday 16th July - Hampshire SO24

[Snoopdog]

Well! Providence has indeed smiled on me today, as, no sooner do I post details of my Autumn 2023 Bake-Off, than Mrs Snoopdog announces that she has booked five days away in the Lake District at some Spa resort or something!

As a result, I can announce a Summer social event at chez Snoopdog!

Room for up to twenty. More, if the weather obliges and outside seating can be utilised.

I will provide refreshments in the form of pizza, pork pies, pasties, scotch eggs etc, cakes and tea/coffee. Please feel free to bring any contributions of your own (you can never have too much cake)!

Kick off will be at 10:00 hrs and there is abundant free, unrestricted parking in South Road, which is directly opposite my house. Driveway parking will be reserved for those bringing kit.

The usual format applies, with my main system (remaining unmolested) playing vinyl, CD/SACD, local files and streaming media (Qobuz Studio) in the lounge and the family room open to any who fancy building a system.

Please view the photos on the threads of my 2022 Bake-Offs to see what's on offer, if you haven't been here before.

Hope to see some new faces, as well as the usual crowd, on the day!

Thanks Steve, but I should say I feel fine, no effects at all & that will only change if they have to treat me for what it is. I will know a lot more on the 19th when all the test results are known & I have had my op, but until then I am fine.

 

[Lurch]

Oh, go on then Steve, stick me on the list.
