I've been asked by the campsite owners to remind peeps of some of the very few campsite and bongo club rules for this meet:

Children remain the responsibility of their parents/guardians at all times and no other person can be held responsible for their conduct or safety.

They must not be permitted to hang around the toilet block or other buildings at any time, but particularly at night.

The campsite is on a working farm with all the normal hazards associated.

Dogs must be on leads at all times when outside. Dog mess must be cleared up.

BBQs must be off the ground and open campfires are not permitted.

OOPS Nearly forgot one rule that got us into bovver in the past.

NO CLIMBING ON THE DRYSTONE WALLS

All going to plan as it usually does, we will be there Thursday afternoon. My Sarah is coming also and Chris by work arrangement lol.

Now if I bring Joe dry stone waller mate to follow me can I scurry over the walls?

Also H tell me where I can go, so long as it isn't hell LOL

Looking forward to seeing you all

For Jo and anyone arriving before I do:

The quieter hookups are down the strip opposite the loo block.

The party and family crowd down towar4ds where we have the marquee.

Non hookups on the north side of the lane but not on the hard standings.

I'll be there from around 6.00pm

[Harry]

Has anyone got a digital projector and screen so that we can show the Rocky Horror DVD in prep for the Xmas fancy dress bash?

Hello everyone

Springer will try and make it one of the nights, but we run a dog home boarding establishment, and we have a springer booked in ( as well as our own 2 springers ) so we may well just stop for an hour or two and meet you all.

We dont fancy trying to sleep over with 3 mad springers.

Maybe see you all, possibly Saturday, and if not, we hope you all have a great time.

karena number 4 checking in -(damm was hoping to get there early enough on friday to nab one of those quiet pitches) what Harry didnt tell you was they all flood really really badly (joking)
Jo i didnt realise wall scurrying was one of the activities on offer - put me down for that too please.
