January Meet, Sacrewell Farm & Country Centre

[mikexgough]

Well I have took the bull by the horns and decided to look for a local venue for an after Christmas and New year Bongo meet.

I have looked into venues and considered dogs/kids location and Sacrewell Farm & Country Centre is where we will be at and the date is Sunday 18th January 2009 it opens at 10:00........ http://www.sacrewell.org.uk/index.htm

For all that are not sure where it is just off the A47 at Wansford and about 500 metres or so from the A1/A47 junction (map on their website)

I am also going to check out the camping there too...........for another meet in the season.......

Hope some of you can make it

Bit of a trek for a day meet (when the daylight hours are so short), but definitely interested for a camping meet in March or later

It's a CC site but they should let a Bongo or two in at that time of year without moaning too much.

We were hoping to get to your meet at Stratford but SWMBO is now on call, so unless I can get manage to worm out of taking little 'un to her activities , I/we can't make it along. It's an easy run across for us and we like Stratford too.....oh well .....see you at Sacrewell...........I am going to check out the camping for a future meet while I am there..

Hi to all you Bongo Folk
Sacrewell Farm is just up the road from us, so it would be rude not to pop over and say Hi.
So see you all on the Sunday 18th of Jan.
If any of you are suffering from any aches and pains we proposing to open our sports injuries clinic on the Sat to any Bongo folk who would like a cut price treatment, we have hydraulic couches- easier to get on and off!, ultrasound, hivamat and of course our soothing hands or treat yourself to a Hot Rock Rub this very relaxing and warming or you can visit us - park your Bongo on our large drive and have a cuppa with us.

Well we are now one week away........lets hope it wont be so cold next weekend and lets hope the rain stays away, we will be at Sacrewell from around 11:00 and it opens at 10:00...............more info here ........http://www.sacrewell.org.uk/information.htm

And I chose the venue as it is just off the A1/A47 and it looks good for a Camping meet too.......

Long range forecast suggests max temperature of about 5 or 6 celcius, which we think should be OK. But then you never know. Look forward to seeing Bongos and their minders.

Been up to Sacrewell today and had a look around, will defo be doing a camping weekend it has hook ups and showers too....yay

The cafe is good, menu a bit limited but the food was very good......I had a steak & ale pie, mash and veg and mrs had cabonara both were £5 so reasonable too.......they do Jackets spuds, kids meals etc too and a super shop there too with the usual goodies and cuddly farm animals and organic produce for sale too

So to all who are coming see you there and I will post a link with some pics of the place

[mikexgough]

Just looked at the weather forecast and it says Sunshine & light showers for Sundays meet and 4c for max temperature, not sweltering but who cares, we will be there from 11:00
