Hi all,
Still full of the joys of the last Delamere meet set up by Goose I had an idea regards doing a similar thing at the local scout camp which I first mentioned in this thread .
Well I have just got off the phone to a nice woman called Jill Rigby whose husband Phil is the camp Warden. She asked what it is we want to do etc so after a bit of discussion she agreed to ask Phil for permission for us to have a meet which he has kindly granted. Cost is the standard £4 per person per night.
The thing is that due to the scouting season running from April to October and the issue of CRB police checks we only have permission to camp from November to March so it will effectively be a winter camp. I'm personally up for it but the question is - will you join me? Obviously it is a while off yet but I would like to gauge initial interest from here on in.
The set-up will be much the same as Goose had whereby I claim no responsibility for people or property. Bring your own food, shelter, FAK etc.
There are no open ground fires allowed as is the norm with scout camps but I will find out about off the ground braziers.
As regards the lake I asked about canoeing in case anyone is interested and was told that the local angling club own it and can be a bit particular who they let on it but can ask on our behalf if there is any interest.
If anyone who has done this before has any advice then please offer it. Are there any dates that stick out that would clash with other stuff be it moots, meets, big events what have you.
The website has a couple of bugs so here is the site map and here is the location as per multimap
I hope this comes good and look forward to meeting folk.
Any questions fire away.
Thanks.
EDIT: Dates for this event are Friday 30th November to Sunday 2nd December.
Forgot to say that the cost is £4 per person per night. It's a standard fee for scout camps and 100% goes to the scouts - not me
My apologies for forgetting, I hope no-one is put off
