With just a little ove 359 days to go ....As with the Midlands Outdoors Show Meet March 2009, once again this Midlands Meet will be held to coincide with The Outdoors Show 2010 . The show sets the date for the weekend as 26 - 28 March 2010 - I'll look into whether we can have the extra day again too
. EDIT:Meet is booked for 25 - 28 March Location is Rough Close. This is a child friendly site and your youngsters are welcome.
Site map and Grey scale map
Site fees are £4.40 - please note the information below.
The camp fees will not include entrance to the show!
There's no compunction to go to the show. If you'd like to come along to the Meet and just chill all weekend that's absolutely fine.
Important notice!
Any monies given (by individuals, groups, families etc) which is above the camping fees will be considered to be a donation to Rough Close campsite to aid with site maintenance, site regeneration etc.
Edit (in italics):
Having read the Leave no Trace thread and to pre-empt possible problems, I feel the need to add:
Forum members are responsible for their own actions at a Meet if you bring along family (or a friend) then you also accept responsibility for their actions whilst they are on site.
Forum members under the age of 18 are welcome. However, they 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!
Fees need to be paid. Its rare, but some people forget.
Responsible drinking of alcohol is ok drugs are prohibited!
Appropriate behaviour: The site can, at any time, decline a booking they can also ask* us (individually or wholly) to leave during the Meet. Be aware that other users of the site might be passing by our pitch at any time of the day or night I do get feedback!
* i.e. Tell. The site is registered as educational land, there is neither a choice nor an ability to negotiate. Fees would still be owed!
Droppin kit off - The parking bay by the adjacent Guild Field is for the use of those who have booked the field (and/or cabin). If the field/cabin is booked for use then it is a requirement that permission is sought (and given) before you drive down.
Parking - vehicles need to be parked up in the campers car park.
Fires Fire scars reduce the options of where and how we can pitch ground fires can leave dips in the ground. All traces of where a fire has been need to be properly removed (not dumped elsewhere) and the ground left as close (or better) as possible to its natural state.
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 cant come along same goes for anyone knowingly under investigation or having had an allegation made against them and is awaiting investigation.
EDIT:
It's fine if you want to:
be on your own
lie on your back looking at the sky, clouds, birds flying over et.c
whittle
practice 'stuff' - except tree felling; the site has strong opinions about that
practice flora and fauna i.d
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.
