Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Have traded various answerphone messages but to no avail, i get home from work at half five, and he finishes work at 5, so we're a bit out of sync. If anyone else can make calls during the day- i'm not allowed a mobile at work- or can get home before 5 and ring him i would be greatly appreciative, i;d rather it got organised by someone if i can't sort it out properly

ok then people we have the go ahead on this one, the weekend of the 14th of november, fires allowed, i will be arriving at hadleigh castle at about 6 oclock i expect. Fires are allowed, but there is no drinking water to be had, so we'll need to bring our own.
i'll search the web for train and bus times for those using puiblic transport and once people have confirmed their place i'll send out my mobile number so that you can all contact me.
cheers

right then- a bit more organising, who is going for both firday and saturday nights? i will only be able to do fridays now as it is a good friends brithday party on the saturday night
my idea was that everyone should be self catering- bring with you everything you will need for the weekend! the meeting place will be at benfleet railway station at about 5:30 on the friday, there is no parking on the site available after 5.
A communal campfire is allowed so we can do some cooking over an open fire, i intende to bring something to sit and carve around the fire, and a few sharps for people to have a play wiht, but nothing special.
i need to confir, the exact area where we are sleeping with the ranger but i get the impression that it's not hammock friendly at all, so it will probbably be tents and bivvis for all.
cheers

I can do both Friday & Saturday
i've got all of this sorted with the park- as far as i'm aware, just turn up, check in with the staff and go and camp, unfortunately it no longer looks like i'll be able to make it, so i don't really feel comfortable organising it anymore, coupled with a busy time at work and a recent illness, i just don't think i've got the time to commit to do it properly.
however- this is mostly sorted, someone just needs to work out a meeting place and ring up the park to remind the rangers.
sorry, but i just haven't got the time, i might pop in for a chat on the friday, but i'll be getting the bus home.

I don't think the meet actually went ahead mate-
most people had pulled out of it at the last minute.
seems these things are alot harder to sort than i thought.
you up for another go at it?

we should organize the venue before posting the meet on this website first.
