Bookings via me, NOT the campsite.
For information the campsite's website is: http://www.gibraltarfarm.co.uk
For photos/reports from last year's meet see: http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... 25&t=15285
Dates confirmed as Friday 3rd - Sunday 5th October..
I'll be asking you all to firm up your bookings and pay a deposit nearer the date.
Deposit of £10 per hook up pitch for the two nights. Non refundable this time as it caused hassle last time. If you have to cancel your deposit will go into the North West social fund.
For those that didn't make it last year see previous NW threads.
Booked 34 vans positive so far (as at 9.00pm on Mon 14th July)
Hookup requests are being accepted strictly in order of application....and only for Friday AND Saturday nights inclusive.
We could end up with as few as 12 hookups or as many as 18...I won't know until much nearer the date.
The use of splitters is dictated by the spacing of units as we need a minimum distance between units for safety one unit per concrete marker)and we only have a limited amount of space on the hookup side of the roadway.
I'm not very optomistic about adding any splitters except to light the marquee(s).
Remember the best pitches with space and the views are non hookups.
So here are the bookings so far:
HOOKUPS in order of priority (see note above)
1. Granitetim
2. peg leg pete............Keighly
3. Bongoplod.............. Wigan
4. Daveblueozzie.........St.Helens
5. Dabs.......................St.Helens

Anyone from number 13 onwards will get a hookup if one is available in number order. Note that these are not your pitch numbers.
Non Hookups: Virtually unlimited number of pitches. Some on a bit of a slope with the 'terrace' (gently sloping) giving the best views but furthest from the loos.

If you are on the above list you MUST let me know if you have to cancel so that your pitch can be allocated to someone else....otherwise you may be asked to pay the pitch fee. I havn't included the 12 or so 'possibles or probables on the list. If the site gets full its the positive bookings that get the places. There are other sites nearby.
Day visitors welcome
cheers
