Thats right! Poi in the Punt will happen again this year on the earlier date of Saturday 31st May. I have tried to find a date which doesn't clash with anything (much) else to try to get maximum participation and also hopefully a date which will be fixed (i.e. last saturday in May) for the forseeable future.
The day will include a punt trip (funny boat with big stick for those who dont know- see the vid below) on the river cam involving much sillyness and possibly some falling in (yes thats me falling over in the vid
). Theres usually time for a bit of lunch, some spinning in the afternoon followed by a burn and BBQ in the evening. Theres even talk of a tea tasting workshop with a variety of teas all the way from China courtesy of myself and Lazyangel. I'm sure we'll think of a few more as the day approaches too (ideas welcome)
There will be limited crash space available on the saturday night and if we get a lot of interest we can investigate local campsites to accomodate.
We've had a lot of fun doing PITP the last two years and this year will be no different. Look forward to seeing you there!
I'll post more details as the day approaches. In the mean time I encourage you to post your interest (so we can get an idea of numbers) and take a look at last years vid!

That was a fantastic weekend - thanks to anyone who had a hand in making it so good
I'm not sure if you'll need to log into facebook to see these, but there's a few photos here.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

Good to hear you all enjoyed it, makes it all worthwhile!
Guy and I were talking about a few tweaks for next year, including camping so its a bit easier for people just to chill out in the evening without the hassle of having to clear up in the dark at the end. But anyway thats next year
Vid will probably be a little while I think as I have a shade under 3 hours worth of footage to choose from!
Great to see some pics already (I had to log in to see them btw Bov) but lets have some more please to tide us over til the vid is ready
Thanks especially go to Guy for allowing the use of his house, PITP wouldn't have happened the past few years if he hadn't stepped up and given everyone crash space (and great food - I hear the breakfast was particularly good this year)
Hope to see you all soon (at Strawberry fair? Play? somewhere else?) and next year for PITP4

Hmm, I'll see what I can do about that when I get home this evening.

Thank you muchly to everyone for a wonderul (and much needed) weekend in good company.
Tom, I believe you have my blue travel mug? Which I left by the barbeques when I returned to guys to crash out.
Dom, sorry for giving you a bit of a ribbing on here as well over last year. You actually did pretty well with the punt, even if you were a little silly and giddy with it
Will get you powering one next year though
