Meet date: 11 ~ 13 November 2011 ~ Arrival time is from 16:00 on the 11[SUP]th[/SUP].

This Meet has been sceduled to coincide with The Original Reenactors Market (TORM). If you want to go, go and if you don't, then don't :cool:.

As per usual, the location is Rough Close.
Site fees are £4.40 per person per night ~ please see 'Helpful info' .
Please pay on arrival. If you haven't been before, someone will be able to point you in my direction.

Edits will be highlighted in red and italicised.

We are booked onto The Leader Training Field.

In the pic below, the virtual tent placement pin marks the position of the Leader Training Field. The Red line marks the approximate route of the main track which leads to the main access point to the pitch.

I have put a couple of extra details onto the map ~ toilets, water etc and I'm leaving both RED and BLUE routes (for PC11) on for reference ;) .





I'll have a play and try to see what I can do about the size of the pic ~ flickr has gone a bit Doris Stokes on me at the moment :eek: . And played ~ hopefully that's better ...

From the site's Directions page:

City of Coventry Scout County
Rough Close Scout Campsite
Tanners Lane

This is a child friendly site and your youngsters are welcome ~ please see 'Helpful info'.

Helpful info
:

The list isn't exhaustive - common sense applies. If in doubt, ask!
  • This list makes our Meets seem to be overly regulated. Don't worry, it isn't ~ it's just to try to preempt the very rare 'If you're not allowed to ..., why didn't it say so in the Meet thread?' excuse/reaction/comment.
  • Any monies given (by individuals, groups, families etc) which is above the camping fees will be automatically considered to be a donation to Rough Close campsite to aid with site maintenance, site regeneration etc.
  • Forum members are responsible for themselves*, the kit they use and their own actions (and any non member accompanying them) at the Meet. * This includes meals and cooking. It is up to each registered member to make sure that they have enough suitable food for their stay and and also for planning/arranging for any replenishment if/as need be.
  • Under 18's must be accompanied by at least one parent (or legal guardian).
  • You brought it in, you take it out – camping fees do not include a rubbish collection fee ~ The sites bin is the big orange thing in the Camper’s Car Park.
  • When visiting others, do not leave your rubbish in their pitch (or in a communal area) ~ take it with you and dispose of it yourself. The sites bin is the big orange thing in the Camper’s Car Park.
  • There is no communal bin in the Communal Area.
  • Responsible drinking of alcohol is ok – drugs are prohibited! Please don't walk through another groups pitch whilst drinking alcohol and/or smoking.
  • Please keep ‘colourful language’ reasonable and to a reasonable volume.
  • After unloading, vehicles need to be parked up in the campers car park.
  • Wood fires must be raised and contained. Periodically there is a shortage of wood available to burn - if you want to cook on an open fire, bring a supply of wood or charcoal.
  • Due to changes in site policy, we cannot cut down standing dead wood. The same goes for green wood ~ damaged or not.
  • It would be wise to be carrying a torch before it gets dark! It could also be provident to put markers on your shelter so you can find it in the dark.
  • In the highly unlikely event that I need to make use of this ... I reserve the right to stop any individual(s) from attending a Meet. Any individual(s) who I feel endanger our future use of the site will be required to leave the site; outstanding fees will still be owed.
  • Time remaining until the Meet.
  • The Old Hands would do well to keep an eye on our Social Group area for this one ;) .
  • Noise levels after 11 p.m need to be respectful of other campers desire to sleep at socially accepted hours.
  • Noise levels before 07:30 a.m need to be respectful of other campers desire to have a bit of a lie in.
  • Chopping (or crackin/snapping etc) wood at 'silly o'clock' is not acceptable. Please make sure that you prepare wood for the start of the next day well before dusk ~ and if you can't be sure, bring an alternative method of heating water/cooking.
  • There will be one or more scheduled workshops available at this Meet. Information of what/where/when etc and spaces/places on them will be made available at a meeting to be held at 09.30 on Saturday Morning ~ aka Morning Prayers ~ attendance of this meeting is in no way mandatory.
  • The Morning Prayers meeting is not a religious _thing_.
The 'Touchy Subject' bit:
Because the site is, first and foremost, a Scout camp site, the only people we can't accommodate are those who would, purposely or otherwise, do harm to others. Primarily, this means that if you would be found unfit to adopt or foster a child then you can’t come along – same goes for anyone knowingly under investigation or having had an allegation made against them and is awaiting investigation.

It's fine if you want to:
  • be on your own
  • lay on your back looking at the sky, clouds, birds flying over etc
  • whittle
  • practice 'stuff' - except tree felling; the site has strong opinions about that :lmao:
  • practice flora and fauna ID
  • so on and so forth ...
This is, in no way, a bushcraft course and it's for you to make of it what you will.
Copy and paste yada yada ...

As the thread's been quiet for a couple of weeks ...
BUMP

... to bring it to the fore.


And also a timely reminder that although this Meet is scheduled to coincide with the TORM event there is no requirement to go unless you wish to :cool: .
