Raffle
Tickets will be £1 each. You can buy as many as you like - funds permitting! Buy your tickets off me.
Bring & buy
I will be bringing some unwanted gear to sell on. If anybody has gear to sell I suggest around the camp fire circle, Sunday morning would be a good time for us all to see what is on offer!
Canoes are ok on the lake on Saturday & Sunday only. AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Pig fund.
Could everyone intending to join please bring 2 bags of charcoal. Wood is scarce at the best of times and the camp site are having their bonfire on Saturday night so there will be a shortage!
Bonfire on Saturday Night.
Location of our pitches
Arrival
Any time on Friday. I will be there from Thursday evening (getting the best spot!) so see you there!
The warden has asked if we would be up for a working party day / weekend at some point in the future. If we did this it would really get us in the good books. Think about it and let me know when we are there!
Think that covers it all - if not ask & I'll see what I can do!

- We will be asked to move our cars for this, but will be given a space for them elsewhere.
- Camp site open to the public for about 2 hour, but only the car park area so camp should be secure.
- Site shop will be open - selling hot dogs, drinks, black peas etc.
Location of our pitches
- The LARPers are having the Lodge and Cub field, so you may be as well giving it a wide berth!
- Around the camp fire circle / top end of the camp site is fine.

I'm as excited as a Junkie with a Giro !! Been thinking about a canoe for ages but there ain't many places for a "Test Drive" LOL
That knife is a work of art as usual Bernie..Hope I get lucky.. If I do I might pass on my Bison Bushcrafter to a deserving cause

hiya by any chance is there going to be anymore in the near future due to its probly to late on this one to get on the list and also i would be coming by train so would have to scrounge a lift to and from the site and would need to see if i could get the time of work.
I would imagine there will be more next year - probably a working party (with the emphasis on party!
) in the near future.If you can make it for this one you are more than welcome - I'll have my car so could pick you up from the station if that helps.
