Wanted to go to this one. I just checked out the dates on the calendar and It's not in the holidays so too far to go for just two nights

I've heard a lot of good things about this meet, so I'm sure Mary and Alison, you're going to have a great time. Mary, I'm sure we'll see you at some stage to get your cup back to you

Cat, it's the easy to get to part of Cornwall if you're coming from your direction. Motorway/dual carriageway almost all the way!!!
And it's the p.i.t.a. part of Cornwall if you're coming from the other end of Cornwall

Hi Alison, I checked out the trip on google. It's 5 and half hours. I wouldn't be able to leave on the Friday until after school and it's a long way to sit in the bongo with my back problems

I would definitely do it if it was a 3 hour drive or I could go for 3 nights.
I don't know my hours on a Friday exactly yet as it's a new job so if I do happen to finish early on the Friday it may be a possibility if there's still places

Would like to get to this one too but same as Cat I work school term time and over 4hrs drive for me so would prefer to do more than two nights. Also I have other difficulties to think about too so unfortunately I will probably have to give this one a miss.
