Midlands outdoorshow Meet March 2009

[sasquatch]

I'm new to all this, but I'd like to put my name down for the meet. As I'm new to all this I hope I'm entitled to ask a stupid question...If the meet area is used for scouts will it be possible to hang a hammock or will it be a bivvy bag on the floor? Looking forward to meeting some like minded people!

Any which way you want to Sas, you could sleep in a tree if that's your bag mate. We usually hammock, tent or bivi at the site as our bit is only used by us when we are there. There could be a few feral scouts mooching about though. Look forward to meeting you.

This offer is better than the group booking price!

... If the meet area is used for scouts will it be possible to hang a hammock or will it be a bivvy bag on the floor? ...

Like Andy said - hammock, tarp, bivvy, tent - whatever shelter suits you.


Because of (possible) numbers on the pitch I've booked the use of the adjacent field for those with larger tents. The communal area will be in a different place for the March Meet so that there's no segregation.

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond .
Basically it's a chill out in the woods (on this occasion it includes the ability to go off to an opportunity to go to the Outdoor Show) with the ability to do some practical stuff.
Very little is set up prior to the Meet; this is because it's supposed to be laid back spur of the moment stuff and isn't in anyway a course.

Looking forward to it even more now...gonna come with my brother me.

We're both long, long time ex-of-leicestershire so I'm sure we'll fit right in

You beauty ....I can sometimes find one (well, a look-alike) in the 'English section' at Intermarché

Time for a quick bump .

And a quick heads-up.

At the moment the price (per person per night) is £3.60. The price might increase in the new year, I'll let you know.

The camping fees have indeed changed:

'Others' (the bit which covers us) is now £4.00 per person per night.

Day Visitors per person:

3 Hours Other Organisations £1.20

6 Hours Other Organisations £2.40

Sites price list

Still a whole lot cheaper than a hotel etc though .

This thread seems to be turning into the midlands equivalent of the burmuda triangle - my name's been yoinked as well!

My fault. It happemed when I realised that some names were missing - not too sure whether that makes it a / or moment! In my defence all those who've registered interest are on a tally sheet on my PC .

... I've noticed that some names have been missed when copying and pasting, so ...

How's the ankle Decorum ? is it healing better now ?

My mate has asked if anyone will be bringing any pigeons or rabbits etc to the meet ?

Will there be another raffle ?

Just a quick question.... is this a 2 night or 3 night meet?

The surface 'scab' has now gone. It came out as a plug of dead flesh and now there's a damn great hole - at least the Docs can now see what needs to be sorted - The necrosis has gone through the skin and into the muscle :yikes: .

My mate has asked if anyone will be bringing any pigeons or rabbits etc to the meet ?

No idea on that one - definately not a roasted pig this time though.

Will there be another raffle ?

Not on this one - having them too often can lead to apathy.

Because the show starts on the Friday morning and runs until the Sunday afterrnoon I've sought and gained permission (for those who wish to) to arrive mid to late Thursday afternoon and stay until the Sunday - so there's the possibility to do three nights.

Cheers Dec. I thought you'd said it was a 3 nighter but wasn't 100% as it wasn't in the intial info about the meet.

Put me down for the 3 nights please

When I did the initial post I couldn't remember whether I'd sorted the extra day with the site so I left it unsaid until I'd checked to make sure .

Put me down for the 3 nights please

Thought you might .
