no dear -just you

[hembramacho]

Only the first 16 or perhaps 18 are guarenteed a hookup.

When do we find out whether it's 16 or 18??

Cheers

Andrew

[Harry]

We've definitely got 16 hookups.

The owners say that there are 18 but in the past we've only ever had 16 due to their lousy booking system.

At a push we can uswe splitters but they are very touchy about this as they are currently under threat of being closed down because of having too many pitches.

I'll know for certain on the Friday afternoon.

As number 18 you are fairly certain of a hookup because we always get last minute cancellations/no shows.

I like the sound of the Sunday morning events...Please Di can or borrow Masie or Deb's Pippin? lol lovely pups both

Jo

[Debs and David]

Course you can borrow Pippin anytime Jo, as long as you remember to give him back lol. I am going to have to buy him a little outfit now aren't I

[Debs and David]

Is it possible to use a splitter, was going to buy one, but no use if we can't use it during this weekend?

[Harry]

Due to9 the regs about distances between units and the layout of the site it is difficult to crowd vans in such a way as to make splitters viable.

If the weather is reasonable then there is a fair chance of an inspection by the local authority regulators who are trying to close the site down.

In bad weather we can usually huddle together in shelter so splitters may then be allowed.

Your call.......

H

[mister munkey]

Can we all huddle in your caravan if it gets really bad Harry?

[Harry]

Might have a spare caravan for sale at the auction....you can kip in that if you buy it.
