Bongo Fury

hi even though im new [been a member in past] i find it a bit well funny you dont use a fire pit. every camp we go on we have a fire pit infact dont go to a site that doesnt let you have one ive had a fire on haven sites Ayr st .i.ves never been refused even on silverdale 0n a fury meet

There are many factors to be taken into account when booking a Meet, once everything else is in place we just go with the site rules.

This not a Club rule, it's down to each site owner and the fire regs.

they just get everone together for a chat cup of tea or even a beer

Bob is right. It's not a club rule, it's (usually) a campsite rule, but I find that camp sites on the coast are a bit more lenient.

The reason most sites ban fire pits and open fires is because of a wider fire risk; embers have been known to come down on tents and awnings which can be highly inflammable. Also, some sites don't allow them simply because of the fact that they attract a crowd. This is true at Stourport where it is difficult to enforce the "noise to a minimum after 11pm" if people are sitting round a camp fire.

At many (but not all) of the club meetings we have an Event Shelter is made available for social activities.

thanks no problem i see your point
