This is the weekend of the year when us bodgers gather in a field somewhere in the UK for the Bodgers Ball. The annual get-together of greenwood workers and woody types. Hand tools only. It’s also the weekend when Alison gets to have a good clearout whilst I’m away at the Bodgers Ball. Not this year. For the second year running the bodgers took the difficult decision – early in the year whilst not to hold the ball.
But that doesn’t mean nothing is happening – thanks to the efforts of a great team – You’re all invited to Not the Bodgers Ball 2021 on Facebook here – on throughout this weekend 6th – 9th May 2021 in a virtual field somewhere.
The event has opened, people are turning up with their tents and tools – no chainsaws please – have a look at whats happening – join the group if you want to take part fully – and the bar is open! Maybe see you there! Bit of an odd bar mind you, we normally encourage people to bring their own containers to drink from – but now you have to bring your own drinks and nibbles as well.
If the Not the Bodgers Ball Facebook Group is generating this much feel good factor it makes me realise how good the real event is. Looking forward to being there and sharing the good time. In the meantime Mark it’s great to be virtually meeting you.
