Hello and sorry guys, i feel as though after starting the wales meet thread i have not given it as much time as i should have done :-[  I wanted to see which meet (Wales or Devon) was the most popular. Well i now have a little more time on my hands again so a list of interested parties and dates would be good, and if its a goer then i will contact the site and find some definate prices etc. My only no no date is the weekend of the 24-26 as it is my daughters 18th on the 22 and her party on the 25th. So over to you all  :y
Cheers, Jez

You can jump over it on your bike if you can't overtake!  ;D ;D   Now, I had used to stand at the bar with a man who did that for a living, jumping over things on a bike that is, Eddie Kidd..  he had a bad accident if you recall...  maybe stick to just paintballing me..........

Well guys and girls the good and bad news First the good news, after finally getting hold of bridge caravan site they are more than happy for us to hold a meet there and will cater for as many of us as we wish and make sure we are all grouped together with a space for bbq area etc and the price is £13 per pitch incl electric, however and now the bad news, the first date they can offer us is the last weekend in sept, Fri28 -sun 30. The lady thought she may have a cancelation for the weekend we had chosen and that was why i was waiting for her to get back in touch but it has been taken  :(  So what do you all want to do? i do know of another site not far from this site but have never stayed there so cannot comment on the site itself. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but if you can all let m know your thoughts about the date and the other site then i will make arrangments. Talk soon, Jez

Sorry to hear about the site on the Welsh border. Here (http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/results3.asp?search=gloucestershire&by=county) and here (http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/results3.asp?search=monmouth&by=county) are loads not far away. Maybe even closer to home for most members?

I have no experience of any of these as we originally came from this area so never stayed in any of them.

Does this mean that we all need to change our votes in the poll to the date listed as 'no longer available'?  :-?

Poll was rather pointless in the end, not that I'm complaining  :P  Yeah, the only thing more depressing than the weather this summer will be the weather after this 'summer' is gone.  :'(  At least we'll be camping so the race will be on between drowning our sorrows and drowning outright!  ;) ;D

Actually no, as I don't have any specific intention to use it due to the weather . . .  ::)

I had a load in the boot to go to the tip for the longest time.  Finally just gave it away. We started separating plastics for recycling for a couple of weeks.  Never get to the tip, so gave up and dumped it in the trash.  :-[
