(No EHU) We're also trying to arrange to meet up at a site a few miles away on the Friday night for those who want to. More details and additional campsite cost on Friday will follow as soon as we have confirmed numbers.

We need at least one more to make this happen.

You get to spend all day making and tasting gin, you can take a bottle of what you made home. Includes a meal and overnight parking at the gin school. You get to meet and participate with a great bunch of Funsters.

We seem to have a lack on interest for this adventure, we could do with one more Funster to partner up with Taran_Las, any takers?

I would definitely encourage anyone who really enjoys their gin and would like to try actually distilling their own choosing their own botanical and creating a unique flavour to give this a go. Its a fascinating experience!

At first glance it may sound expensive, but it includes a couple of g & ts to help the day along, all the materials, equipment and expert tuition to produce 1/2 a bottle of gin each to take away and lunch. With overnight camping on the Saturday also included it would be great to make this a funsters only day and into the evening 😊

Couple? I think it was more like 6 or 8, and they were not small, still don't think Olivia can remember how she got home, it was a great evening.

Hmmm - now you come to mention it.....!!!! Maybe I can't remember the tasting too clearly either :LOL::drinks:

The actual blurb says:
'We like to start the experience in the best way, with a G&T in hand. Once seated, you’ll begin learning how this wonderful spirit came to be the quintessential British classic it is today. Tasting your way through history and the different styles of gin; it’s the best sort of history lesson!'

John says he’s in. ! So we are up for it. I suggested that I do the gin bit and he has the lunch but that didn’t go down too well! So I guess he gets both bits while I look after Rosie ☹️

or you leave Rosie with Brian & John & you both do gin - all we have to do then is find a partner for Phil - who's up for that? :giggle:

Well, we cannot really say how Rosie will be. We have a dad lined up so 8 week pregnancy from any day. Don’t want to commit both of us, otherwise of course up for it. Rosie might not be able to travel, that was reason for not committing earlier.

We still have space for one more Gin lover. If you have a partner who hates Gin, they can join later just for the meal at the Gin School, not forgetting the social on Friday Night. ::bigsmile:
