It looks like people will start arriving about 7ish but I will be lighting the pizza oven at lunchtime.
Bring your own food (and booze) and plates, glasses and cutlery.
The idea is to share – I’m going to do a chocolate and banana pizza,

Sticky, sounds like an idea but you’ll need to get money upfront as inevitably there will be no shows. I’ve been to a few of these picnics but must admit I’m a bit off these types of events as i find there is too much emphasis on the commercial side. Though some of the food and drink is good a fair amount is not.
Ed, I was the same about the exhibitors, and hadn’t consequently been for a few years. On sunday we went on a whim and bumped into friends. I was actually quite surprised by the improvement in the quality of goods at Werribee, admittedly some of the producers I regularly buy from at the farmers markets were there, but why not?
Gone are the restaurants touting their business and there was a marked increase in wineries and boutique breweries offering good drops. Plenty of small ventures pooled resources and shared tents this time. The event was smoothly run with no traffic issues and there were adequate facilities in the way of public conveniences and drinkable tap water available.
As for the collecting moula upfront, I don’t organise anything without money down first. It comes of running my own underground dining movement in the past. It’s sad to think how unreliable people can be unless they are well and truly goaded into committing by their peers…Human nature I guess.
Sticky, if that is the case I’m in. Last time i visited -and that was a while ago – it was a bit like the showgrounds.
