As we are reliant on members organising various meets, which takes a lot of time and effort to find and arrange a venue capable of taking us all, and the fact we appear to have 2 potential venues for an 'Up North' (well, up north for us southern softies!) meet, I think we need a poll to decide which one(s) should be persued before too much time and effort is expended on arranging them.
-
Just for reference, a weekend meet may be organised for east anglia again on 4th & 5th july. So dates dont clash. :y
-
I think the York one has the better facilities, especially if its raining ;)
-
Given that our venue for the Lakes meet needs to be revised, perhaps we should ask if there are any alternative plans? If not, why not make the "oop north" meet at York?

I've plumped for York... Seems to be a very convenient site :y :y :y
I'm not sure if I'll actually be able to make it but I hope so :y :y :y
As stated above, we're trying to arrange another East Anglia Meet 4th/5th July if there's enough interest :y :y :y

Sounds like a cunning plan! ;D ;D

i hope i can get to meet sometime this yr, my plans never seem to come about for some reason, but maybe this yr might have a bit more luck . my kids liked york. so i shall abstain from voting as i dont think my vote should count.

every members vote counts..... :y

Not sure if I could make York (will try), but I'd definately be up for the Lakes...
Mind you, if its either or (say York instead of Lakes due to Colditz), then I'd come to which ever it was, but as for both going on, see how I fair...

This is almost certainly happening, dependant on numbers.

So we deffo wanting the York meet in May?
-
Just a quick update... I’ve just phoned him and asked about access to the site again like last year, he says were certainly welcome back - I just depends on dates. :D
I asked him about May, and he said that it’s very good for him providing it’s either of the first two weekends. Would these dates be any good? Or do we want it some other time? :question
Basically all he needs are set dates from us so he can check if it’s available, and then pencil us in!
I’ve told him it will basically be the same as last year, but on a larger scale! And he said that it’s all fine! Cars + Caravans (No hookup [size=8]Unless you book a private caravan space on the hard standing[/size]) + Tents etc all welcome. :y
-
Early May it is then. I reckon we should book the hard standing for caravans/hook up as bored kids can watch telly if the weather let's us down, provided we can have some nearby grass as well to pitch gazebos on although we could manage with gennies? :-/
-
1st weekend in May would be a bank holiday, that would be great :y
OOF children are ganging up on myself and at least 1 other member, at this point, so apparently I would be up for York and or The Lakes. :y
-
Just voted, who is the miserable person who said neither ::) ::) ::) ::)

Be good to see you there :y :y :y :y
As for York... I'd love to come but, depending on when it is, may not be able to :( :( :( :( I have convinced Mrs LD we should bring the Pikey box up but depends on when it is... Can't do the first weekend as I've got commitments for Friday Night and Early Saturday morning!
That said, I might be able to come for the day, even though it's some 190 miles away ::) ::) ::)

The problem is the hard standing is an offical caravan site thing and I 'Think' you need to be a member of a caravan club to use it ?!? Which is where it gets complicated... I could well be wrong though! ;D
As for gennys etc... Depending on time, I plan on building a generator which is for anyone to use, which can be running whenever! The biggest challenge ive got (other than its weight) is to make it quieter - basicly i've got a derv engine im planning on using so it wont drink fuel like my other genny did!!! ;D

Cheers,
Grange Farm looks good and easy enough for me to get to, only problem is work committments so might not know until last minute about days off which doesnt help you with booking arrangements. :( If worst comes to worst, is it possible just to run up for a few hours to get to meet you guys?

Only takes a can of petrol and a box of matches to clear it. Nice warm concrete to work on too. :-X

If we can't get hook up we'll manage without for a weekend, we did last year. :y

From what I can remember of last year, there'd still be enough hardsatnding left even if there was a full compliment of caravans, most of the 'van pitches were along the fence.

Recent circumstances have had a massive effect on my health, and as such when I had to clear out the ‘Lock up’ and a lot of my old camping stuff went to the tip.
I now find myself having to bring my daughter to Meets, and consequently have to purchase some new camping equipment to attend these meets. ::) ::) ::)
I am currently trying to find a tent, that puts itself up, or as near as, any advice welome :)

All give praise to the OOF MV6 boot tent...& you Elite owners thought you had all the toys!!! 8-)
-
LOL!! That was funny watching Guy & Andy trying to fold that tent up!!
How many OOF'ERS does it take to fold up a quick pitch tent? ;D

I wouldn't go to York if I were you, it's close enough for me to pop in. ::)
