hi all, as per title this meet is over the same weekend as the http://www.outdoorleisureshow.com/ at the NEC which is 15 minutes away. courtesy of the organisers i have 2 free tickets to give away at the meet!
weather permitting we will be at the south (bigger) end of the wood at this meet. we had hoped to do some felling at the december meet but the snow put paid to that!, its still an ongoing project weather allowing. if there is still a severe frost, be prepared for the toilet block to be out of use.

important ammendment see post 265

ok as before, just a reminder of terms and directions.

im sure i shouldnt have to mention good housekeeping to you, but im going to anyway. :(
were here on trial so it really is a case of leaving no junk / firescars etc. the only thing we should leave is a good impression, take your rubbish home, there are no facilitys to leave it on the farm. this is a private site, a farmer who i know and who has trusted me. im going to be blunt here, anyone who jeopardises this goodwill will be asked to leave. individual fires are allowed off the ground, there is plenty of windfall and some dead standing (usual precautions apply) live wood is to be left untouched. under 18s to be accompanied by a parent or guardian, guests or minors will be the responsibility of the person who bought them, a small section on the approach to north wood is sssi, unless otherwise instructed this will be marked and out of bounds, as will a small area adjacent to it which is personal to the farmer. the gate from the farm into the meadow must be kept closed at all times, if you open it you close it, ok happy head back on! :)

fees are a reasonable £4 per head per night, pay on arrival access is on friday from 1200, unless we have made prior arrangements to get in earlier. for security reasons the electronic gates will be closed overnight and all day sunday, codes will be given out nearer the meet, possible late arrivals pm me for my tel' number. we will aim to vacate site no later than 1400.

location is opposite the belfry golf club on the A4091, OS map ref' SP189962 for those arriving early there is a large layby opposite the entrance, full address is;

Middleton House Farm
Tamworth Road
Middleton,
Tamworth
North warwickshire
B78 2BD

the fields on the approach to the wood are sometimes hired out to a private company. if on arrival there is any activity on the meadow between the car park and the wood, and you need to unload your vehicle, keep to the track, proceed with caution with hazards on at 15mph. and finally for those not familiar with north wood, this may help...
