Only three months away and the notorious NW Christms bash is on the horizon.
Any further news yet?

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.

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.

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!
