Who's planning what?

If you are going away somewhere and don't mind meeting up with other Bongo owners or if you've been somewhere & want to tell us about it & stick up your photos, put the details here.

Off to Shindig weekender in Bruton end of May, mountain biking mid Wales the week after, then Camp Bestival in July at Lulworth, and as many weekends in between as i can. Must try and make it to a Bongo meet at some time though, so many lovely people.

There seem to be so many bongos (must be hundreds) in Bristol that its my ambition to get a Bristol and surrounding areas meet going, Brean sands on a sunny afternoon would be amazing. Although most peopl ei wave at here think im mad.

Jonny,

I would be very interested in a meet around Bristol or Brean. I keep checking for new meets as no matter what forum. Would love to go to the Bongo Bash but in Paris that weekend.

Having got my Bongo last month I have visited lechlade for a test run and the weekend before Easter I went to Brecon for 3 nights to do some hill walking.

I'm in Chichester next weekend.

Camper Calling August Bank Holiday - looking forward to The Lightning Seeds, Space and Cast.

Will have a week out Sept/Oct

Not got much holiday left so will try to get as many weekends in as possible.

I'm going to Camper Calling on August BH weekend, Warwick. With another bongo owner. I'm running out of holidays from work too, but tend to get away almost every weekend! Look forward to meeting you somewhere.

That's meeee! There is still 15% off tickets for Camper Calling if anyone is interested. It was a great little festival last year and you could camp where you like in the grounds of Ragley Hall.
