BraziBay Halloween Bash 2014

Judging of both events is on the Saturday Abs

Thanks Scooby - do you happen to know if the pub at the end of the walk allows dogs?

The pub we walked to last year Abs was in Cropredy. Barney was very welcome - no problem taking him in.

The Brasenose Arms

Dogs are allowed in the bar but not the restaurant. We all sat in the bar last year.

Great news - that's my type of pub!

From the pub's website wrote:

Everyone is welcome at the Brasenose Arms. It's a friendly 350 year old 'local' with a restaurant, contemporary en-suite accommodation to sleep 10, a 1/2 acre Beer Garden, regular live music, free wifi and a public laundry.

Free wifi! - I might need it to keep my posting rate up at the end of the month...

No need to worry about that abs

Don't forget though that the Saturday of the bash is in November. The competition will be over at midnight on Friday.

Good point, hh - btw, what competition would that be?

Who knows....

Here are some pics from last year's walk




As it was wet under foot last year, the walk to the pub was along country roads and not across muddy fields. We can doo the same again this year and end up at the same pub unless anyone else has any practical alternatives?
Obviously if the the weather is good we can make our own fun with plenty of games to play, bay windows to dress, pumpkins to carve etc. . . but if it is wet . . . a walk to a pub to get wet on the inside might raise our spirits

You'll be pleased to know that Barney's head reappeared later that afternoon!

Basic FD costumes sorted today, just need Crafty Allie to add some adornments.

Here's hoping that we get the same weather that we've got here today.

We've got the Caorunn. We'll bring red apples to serve it with. How are we going to sort ice?

Scrape it off the windscreen?

Which reminds me, I presume there will be cucumber?

There definitely will be if you bring one, Chris.

There'll be pumpkins!

Guess I can't begrudge a cucumber if I'm buying a bottle of Hendricks

Very generous Sunny - can you make it a big one? (bottle, not cucumber...)

Anyone got a soup kettle? Thought it might be useful for serving up the mulled cider....

Pumpkins are in the shops, but when to buy?

Mrs B almost bought two enormous ones from Sainsbury's at the weekend but it seemed a bit early. Do they keep?
