Having been talking to Decorum offline about archery he said that a few people were after alloy tubing "like arrow shafts" and could I bring some

What I'd suggest is that people ask Peter if he'd prefer a trade or a small fee - Feel free to register interest in this thread but please don't innundate him with P.M's (Nothing has been said, it's just me trying to be pre-emptive).

I've nothing to trade as such but i have aquired a quantity of reflective armbands which snap round the arm. I thought i would give the kids one each, and if there was any left, anyone who wants one could have one !

I am thinking of stripping out the metal band then glueing two together and use them as a marker on my tent/tarp to locate them in the dark with a torch. Also got some filter coffee i am bringing along if anyone wants a coffee over the weekend. :D

What's the earliest we can be on site ? without paying the extra fee. I can't remember off hand

I asked Dec if it was ok to arrive around 2'ish and he thought that would be ok but would check. He hasn't come back saying otherwise so I'm assuming any time after 2 will be fine.

I'm pretty sure I checked to make sure we'd be to arrive from 2pm onwards (I have a somewhat ... infamous .... memory :confused: :eek: :(

). I've a tree to make sure of before we go on site so 'it'll be fine' :eek: . We, as 'overnighters', haven't been asked to pay the day fee so far - but never count on that lasting for ever.

Weather's looking pretty nice for the weekend... 20C and sunny for Saturday :)
[/tempting fate]

Just as an aside, Warwick Castle are currently doing free adult entry in September so if you have a couple of spare hours it's only 20 mins away and well worth a visit.

Blimey :eek: , looks like there's about 40 for this weekend. I can't make it due to family visiting but I did get down to the Reading meet last weekend so I am not feeling too left out :)

Hope you all have a good one :D
