We all start somewhere and you're more than welcome to join us. We all do a first Meet and you'll find that if you want/need help people will be more than willing as, when and if they can ~ you just need to ask and someone will do their best to point you in the best direction.


Have a read through of post #01 and add your name to the most recent list of names.


All the best to you and yours.

Woodland Ways are running a special offer for their Winter Skills course.

http://www.woodland-ways.co.uk/blog/desert-trips/january-special-offers/

The course is held in a 250 acre private woodland just outside a village called Appleton, Oxfordshire. And the cost is £195 for every two people - £97.50 each. Does anybody fancy giving it a go - seems a good price for a weekend of training and it is reasonably near.

It is the weekend 17 - 19 February - before the next North Wood meet

If no takers from this posting then I will probably put up separate one somewhere - applications need to be in by 5 Jan

If you fancy it and are available etc pse PM me - if more than one then I will make up a 'twosome' (!!!) with whoever's PM is timed first

By the way, I have checked with Damian to see if he is running a course at his site

http://woodsmanbushcraft.co.uk/index.php?id=1

and he says

"I would normally do a winter course, but with the weather being so mild, it kind of defeats the object, ....................................We have a date in February (3rd) which we normally do as the winter course, but at the moment this is looking as a non-runner due to lack of numbers."

I've never been to a meet before so it's probably about time I started. I'll most likely be arriving on the Saturday morning if that's ok.

Sorry to hear that, sometimes real life has a habit of making itself heard . Enjoy the show and, hopefully, we'll catch you at the end of March .

I've never been to a meet before so it's probably about time I started.

Glad to have you along. If you want/need answers to questions about the Meet, just sing out and we'll do our best to point you in the right direction .

I'll most likely be arriving on the Saturday morning if that's ok.

That's absolutely fine .

Please be aware ...

... At the moment site fees are £4.40 per person per night but it is possible that the site might announce a price rise between now and the New Year...

I am still in the process of trying to find out if there has been a price rise for 2012 ~ and, if it has, what it will be.

 

[Humpback]

Decorum:

It is looking more likely that I will be able to make this meet, but I won't be certain until the w/e of the 20th and hope this won't cause difficulties in me adding my name at the last minute (rather than as last time adding then removing it)?

Also, if I do manage to organise myself sufficiently, will there be a facility to bring surplus kit for swap or for sale as I have seen on previous occasions?

Best regards
Alan

Hi Alan, either way is fine . Real life does have a habit of getting in the way ~ it's prevented me from attended an RC Meet in the past as well .

Also, if I do manage to organise myself sufficiently, will there be a facility to bring surplus kit for swap or for sale as I have seen on previous occasions?

There's usually some sales/trades/swaps gpoing on at each Meet ~ we tend to set the time and location on the Saturday Morn.

Note for all:

Please be aware ...


I am still in the process of trying to find out if there has been a price rise for 2012 ~ and, if it has, what it will be.

Quick update ...

The site has, in the last couple of days, revised their prices for 2012 and there will be a small increase in our fees.


The fees for 2012 have been set at £4.60 per person per night ~ a rise of £0.20

 

[Warthogiam]

I'm new to BCUK and am interested in attending a meet. Could somebody give me info of location and what the format is? Is it a wildcamping?

 

[TinkyPete]

The site is a Scout camp, there is wash block and toilet facilities on site as well as a water tap. you will need to bring your own food, something to sleep in or on (there is room for both ground dwellers (tarp or tent) or swingers (hammockers), wood fires must be raised or leave no ground scar, but you can use most types of cookers there. If you read post 1 it does give you a lot of the information you need. Any extra questions please ask away.
