I'd love to come but i'm back to work this sunday, maybe next time. I only live in Bradfield St. George, so i'd definently be up for it.
A friend of mine has a small wood in Hollesley which i know is out of the way for most people. But i'm sure he would be sympathetic. I would feel responsible and wouldn't want "unknown "people to go unless i was in attendance, but i can't make it this time. Perhaps for future or perhaps to far out of the way.
Hi
Have sorted a venue for 12/13th in Thetford Forest (near Santon Downham). We can use tents and hammocks, have a camp fire and a toilet block is available! It will cost £2 per person for the whole weekend
(hope that's not too expensive?) I will send the details to Richard for circulation to those interested!

This is probably a good time to say if anyone we don't know that has been viewing this thread and is interested in joining us, should make themselves known pretty quick so we can tell you whats on too!
don't worry, we are all pretty new at this, so make yourself known and come along! :biggthump

Snufkin, the trains going norwich to thetford are fine,
is it just getting to norwich being the problem? :?:

i have PM'd all those interested in the East anglia meet up,
fenlander just PM'd me about the grid reference.
i was correct about the wrong grid reference, so go with the road directions and you should be fine!
it's worth while you noting down the information for possible further meetups if you can't make it this time.
something i noted at the BCUK meet up last year was that after two days we still were trying to remember names, which is a pain, and some ideas to help this came up, it also helps with security if we know who's who.
so please could you do two things:
make a sign to display on tent/shelter/car so we know who's it is.
also a simple sticker or clip-on badge with the same, to wear.
to make it simple, the signs should read:
in bold your "real" name or "nick name" e.g "Richard"
and underneath your BCUK ID e.g. "RAPPLEBY2000"
it's more friendly and, beleive me i got really fed up with saying "RAPPLEBY2000" every time i spoke to someone.
i don't think anyone will mind if you still would rather remain anon, make one up if you want, it just makes life easier when meeting new people.
don't forget your £2 i'm not sure who to give it to yet but have it ready.
looking forward to meeting you all! :You_Rock_
Richard.

I'm not able to make it--- halfterm holiday already booked. But I see its the same wonderfull site I stayed on twenty something years ago with the scouts. we made a rope bridge across the river and I at least did a lot of swimming. We were right on the edge of the forest but as i recall there were deciduous trees in the camp site. I hope you all have a great time.
