Can people please bring a bit of spare change rather than just notes - I have to use public transport to get to work during the week.

Blimey - that was quick. I hadn't even had time to be redirected back .

Just during the day isn't a problem - the site does make a charge for day visitors though.

Do we need to pay up front or is it pay on the day?

Do we need to pay up front or is it pay on the day?

I need it prior to the Duty Warden going home on the Sunday - so it's down to individual choice.



Talking of monies :

Can people pleeease bring a bit of spare change rather than just notes - I have to use public transport to get to work during the week.

 

[Scrumpy]

No problem.
What is the fire policy? on the website it mentions "campfire circle", is this the only place allowed?

 

[decorum]

Each of the pocket campsites has a designated area for ground fires; to keep the site tidier and easier to use - outside of the designated areas contained fires can be used (raised half drums and trail stoves etc).
I believe that during drought that the site retains the privillage to ban ground/open/open (etc) fires for as long as they deem fit for the safety of both those on site and of the site itself - I really can't see this being a problem at the moment . The site, according to MAGIC, is a mix of Ancient and Semi-Natural and Ancient Replanted woodland – There is a SSSI which shares its borders with the S/E corner of the site

I've used the all metal roll tops many a time (I've also destroyed the spot welding on one too - or shouldn't I admit to that ). I'm on site (scouting) this weekend and will take the opportunity to re-aquaint myself with using one; as well as to burn off any 'noxiousisityness' that *might* be in the paint

Hello Mesquite, I'm a newbie too so will be nice to have a fellow noob there!

Thanks to Decorum for arranging things

To all new... don't be afraid to ask questions or join in, we are nice folks and decorum's a sweetheart

Well said . It doesn't matter how much, or how little, you know - all are welcome. Because the Meet is held at a Scout campsite the young are especially welcome; but so are adults. The only people the site (and myself) don't welcome with open arms are those who would do others wrong - Young People First - all we ask that this is extended to all

and decorum's a sweetheart

Oi!!! - don't tell people that - Oil av you know that oim ruff an' oim tuff oi am .
I've left many a blade of grass feeling crushed as we've crossed paths

Talking of Cabbages....

Are we going to try another spit roast?
Is anyone up for it?

If so, please add what you will be bringing to the list next to your name.

On another note, Decorum, is there any chance for doing a bit of archery? I'd love to have a go and I think you said something about doing when we came in October
