i really dont understand what you people have against Buxton
Chances are i may be working the saturday again but hopefully if its not too far away can wing it over afterwards - complete with victorian dress and thermal underwear as i will have been standing outside all day.

[Harry]

Well if it is Buxton I won't be going but I believe one or two alternatives have been suggested.

I think Jetskier and/or Diamond might have something at the outline plannib stage?

I won't believe Christmas is on the way until the DFS Xmas Sale kicks off.

[diamond]

munkey that was in may.

[kawasaki kid]

DFS only have two sales a year - one starts on Boxing Day and ends in summer and the other starts in summer and end on Christmas Eve.

Please could someone tell me what the problem is with Buxton?

[Harry]

Buxton last Christmas =

Ankle deep mud
Site on top of a hill in a force 8 gale
Skiddy/bogged down vehicles
Trees shedding branches
Marquee blowing away (into my van)
etc etc.

But we all had a great time DESPITE the conditions.

It is also a ruddy long way for anyone north of Wigan (as is the Red Lion.

Thanks Harry. We've just had that at the last couple of camps this summer - we even lost our workshop, when decided it wanted to be the new Tardis and failed miserably. We could just about cope with it but I wouldn't like to go through it in winter. Brrrrrrr!
