Mad as a March Hare meet 3 - 5 March

Post by Jillygumbo » Thu Jan 12, 2017 11:16 am

The Mad as a March Hare meet at The Golden Swan, Wilcot, near Pewsey, Wilts. The dates are 3-5 March. Friday to Monday.

Pub has up to 10 ehu now and Dave will charge us £6 per person per night plus £2.50 per night ehu. Maximum 10 vans allowed, 'vans' being big ones/caravans. We can have more than 10 by having a "car" and a tent, there's no requirement to sleep in the tent, so a small pup tent will suffice for appearances. Please be prepared to bring a tent.

I'll keep the camping list up together but you'll be responsible to pay Dave in the pub.

Link to pub: http://www.thegoldenswan.co.uk/

Canal is nearby, Pewsey is close (along the canal or by road) and The Barge at Honey Street is 2.9 miles the other way. There's a pub with a micro brewery in Pewsey plus other pubs and a wool shop for Sue! This meet usually involves a walk with pub stops but these are optional (walk or pub).

Big van/caravan (must be part of the 10 van limit):
1 Bob & Sue - bongo & caravan 3 nights
2 Haydn Williams - large van
3 Davey - large van

With EHU (10 available)
1 Cazzyblues - bongo EHU & tent
2 Royston & Julia Heath EHU 2 nights bongo & tent
3 Karen Shead EHU 2 nights bongo & tent
4 Bob UK - bongo & tent & EHU
5 Jo Payne – bongo & tent EHU
6 Mary/New Forest Terrier – bongo & tent EHU

Well done Jilly. :)

Won't vote as we are available all 3 dates so don't want to swing it and affect others, but this is one of our favourites. 8)

First two weekends are definitely the most popular so far.

Hi Jilly, Do we have to let someone know if we want EHU? I see there are now 10 and maximum is 10 vans so guessing we don't but thought I should check and not take it for granted. Caz x :D
