Wer'e not really as mad as we seem on this forum

In fact quite conservative I'd say

at times

Things always get better after they are worse
So it's good to make things worse as soon as possible!

Hi Jamie,
I make it 9 def and 3 poss, but my list is buried under xmas stuff right now! It would be great if the nevets could make it too
Plenty of time yet for anyone else who wants to join us at Golden Sands Haven for weekend.
We must look at possible other meets after xmas

Also a pub meet(general) -stayover Essex (my son's)
Really looking forward to Haven Too

Hi Anna
I've just checked to see if they've solved the problem with the dog costs on the website - I could book without a dog, but NOT with one

Probably best if dog owners try ringing Haven.

Hi John,
Thanks. Yes you are correct. I couldn't find an available pitch with a dog, but could without. Hopefully just another gremlin in their online booking works. As you say it is safer to phone and book.

Yes Jamie, we found some strange prices also came up at times when you added a dog to the request. Better to book by phone if you have a dog I think.
How is Sharon?

Saw a dog in the market with panniers. Suppose that would get it past the checkin.
