There is a kebab shop 4 chippies, 3 chinese take away’s. One of britains best Indian restaurants and an Indian Take away. I polish cafe, 1 Italian restaurant, 1 Lithuaniancoffee shop/deli, 1 Russia coffee shop/deli, and a couple of other coffer shops. 2 great Breakfast cafes, one in the high street and one near the railway station. A bowling alley with bars and restaurant on the market square. Also 10 pubs and more. All in a town of 10000 houses.

The pub venue is not free though. But I have beat the price down to £8 per pitch per night which I feel is a great price. There is drinking water and toilet on site also better toilets in pub. Black/grey waste disposal point. No restriction on pitch size or what you put on it as long as there is only one motor.The price of the Saturday night pitch is payable in advance to me. The other nights you may wish to spend there you can pay when you get there.

If you feel like getting a team together we can get a dragon boat on the day.
If we go ahead with this, I intend to be there from Friday afternoon onwards.
Names and £8 deposit (Covering the Sat night only and Not refundable) as soon as possible please to.

The clue was right at the beginning

I am up for that Used to live in Ipswich and I have a son in Norwich so might combine it with a trip down memory lane

Pub website is not responding at the moment - are there any hook-ups?

I did wonder what a "Single Camper Weekend" would entail - and now you're asking about the chances of a hookup

He can lay on a hook up just ask himwhen you get there.

Tempting as I used to live in Watton till I was 13 and went to school in Wymondham till I was 16, but too far for a weekend, sadly, and with Looe soon after, would be too much. Shame really.

Great idea but sadly too far for me for a weekend.
How about one in the west country sometime.

we have 2 promiced from this site and 6 from WILDCAMPERS.CO.UK so that should be about right, shame we couldn't get a couple of the girls to come. Never mind, perhaps next time.
PLEASE FORGET ABOUT PAYING IN ADVANCE. I shall be there from Friday afternoon so just turn up.
BUT PLEASE ANYONE ELSE LET ME KNOW BEFORE HAND IF YOU ARE COMING, so that I can let the pub have the numbers.
Look forward to seeing y'all.
I am trying to fit a brewery visit for Saturday afternoon. The brewery is just over the bridge so within staggering distance.

Count me in - do I need to book with the pub, or are you sorting it? Also, is it Friday to Sunday nights inclusive, or just Friday and Saturday - I'm happy with either?
