IT'S GONNA BE SUNNY DAMN YOU! And more importantly, stay on topic or I will have you modded from orbit.

It's the only way to be sure...

I'd suggest something a little bigger tbh, we want this to be a central/focal point for all and sundry to be able to gather round so needs a fair sized diameter i think for all to enjoy the warmth of the fire.

Sally has GUARANTEEED it wont rain but thats not saying it wont be chilly at night and i think a 2x2ft fire is only gonna accomodate a handfull of peeps comfortably. And we dont want people jostling for space and falling in the fire.

maybe a 6ft diameter circle for the fire to alow for it to be as big as it need to be and if we only need to use 4ft diam of it then great. But circular surely must be the way to go
Happy to go with a bigger size, just that its more work, even a fire in a half a petrol drum is plenty to get about 40 people around (and as most of the heat from them goes straight up.....)

Biggest issue is going to be getting the tools there - but I am sure some kind person with a car/van can sort it

I didnt see if there was suitable fire-pit lining materials on site, Messie, I am assuming I wont be treading on toes if I give Jim a ring with a few questions?

Landlord said we'd need to bring our own shovels. I've got one! And I've got some plastic sheeting to put it on.

Why is Twisted Firestarter in my head now?

We don't want it to large as you want something that is easy to put out if things get out of hand.

Compromise - 4' by 8' trench - will mean an oval crowd rather than a circle, but should be able to keep the amount of fire down to about a 2'x6' line rather than a "big pile o fire"

But a big pile o fire is good...

May I proscribe 6-8 pallets stacked on top of each other and set fire to from the nice wigwam shaped fire built around it.

The scouts never asked me to build the camp fire again after that. Mind you, no one could sit on the benches around the camp fire, and the big logs we built it on were still on glowing the next morning.

Rule number 1 of fire club is don't let me build the fire.

Sounds like a good plan, just a couple of thoughts... What are we going to burn? And can I suggest this is placed quite some distance away from the tents...
