Or do we try for another site?
Ideas welcome :y
-
Fine by me, and please book me a static, may well want to stay a little longer, as may others..... :y :y
However, if there was a feeling to move to another venue i would be equally interested.....I have my orders from Miss Vamps.... :D :D :D
-
Just asking before taking it on myself to book it up really :y
-
Voted try another, but only because of the midges. Cant see any other site in the Lakes being much different though tbh..... :-\
Static please, if revisiting, although the statics aren't as social as "slummimg it with the rabel down the bottom field" ;D ;)
-
Only reason I'd vote elsewhere is because of the midges too.
Not even sure I'll be able to make it this year though :(
And trying to decide between a static or taking the camping gear too ::)
-
I have to agree the midges nearly made me not go this year, this is really why I asked.
Just an Idea but what about a Scotland Meet?
Or where is on the opposite side of the country to the Lakes nice to go? What about more Inland if that makes sense try and stay away from the midges?? same sort of height up the country but away from the Lakes?
Just thoughts
-
What date have you got in mind Great One? ;)
-
What date have you got in mind Great One? ;)
Even that has not been decided, perhaps a good idea would be everyone interested put there dates in, then we can go with the majority?
-
I don't know enough about midges and their habits to know what's best to do tbh...?
I gather some parts of Scotland are considerably worse for midges. So wondered if further south would help avoid them, say southern Cumbria, Kendal or Windermere perhaps? :-\
What attracts midges? Is it time of year? Low lands in the valleys? Water side areas? :-\

Wish I had a definitive answer to that one Chris >:(
We get infestations of the f***ers here in our back garden - and Dear Pamela suffers dreadfully from their biting antics :'(
Am inclined to give any such meeting a miss to be brutally frank. Newent suffices perfectly for us to be honest. :y
Thanks for the well-intentioned thoughts Daz! ;)
-
What attracts midges?
Quite simple - it's the sweet, sweet flesh of my beloved Dazzer of course. :-* :-* :-*
-
Ive said the same....but dont mind either way.
Its a nice site, but a trek to the very basic facilities, and the owners are okish at best?
As the organiser, I would say do you mind dealing with them again? if not, find somewhere friendly, like say, burns farm ;D ;D ;D
Dont even bother playing chase the midges...
they are either about, or not.
they are everywhere up there, you wont find a midge free site, its luck of the draw if they are about or not.
same goes for scotland....which is probably too far for a lot to travel.
Cheers for taking it on again :y
-
What about two meets at Newent?
The only thing then that would not sit right for me is Hotel 21. As we know he attends every meet and is one hell of a trek.
Apparently the East side does not get midges like the west does.
I will have a look at some sites similar height but further across from the Lakes. Not all sites I found want to take groups, plus let them work on cars....

Thanks for that Den :-*
I did get eaten but so did everyone last year, there was no getting away from that at all >:(
-
Last years site was a good one and we got no hassle from the owners. Only things were the midgies, uphill treck to the toilets and cold showers but they were minor things :y

Agreed. :y Didn't make it last year and might well not make it this year, TBH, but I think that site at least tolerate us as a large, predominantly male group who like a drink or two, and have static caravans for those who want them. That's not to be underestimated, IMHO, especially in a "picture postcard" place like the lakes.

Well, as long as TheBoy is coming, with his extensive experience of dealing with inbreds and retards. ;) In fact, sod it, shall we just go to Milton Keynes? ;)
-
If you are looking for a compromise between Scotland and the midlands then the York area is a good option.
Not wishing to drag up the past with that one but just saying ;)
Either way I am unlikely to make any meets this year and if I do it will be very lastminute.com and staying locally in a hotel with SWMBO :y
-
I can't really vote to be honest as wherever the meet is I will do my best to attend.
-
Some advice on midges. I suffer very badly if bitten by them, come out in huge blister like patches and cant stop scratching them. I used to have a static up Loch Lomond for years so have suffered a lot of midge bites, the best repellent for them is Avon Skin So Soft, they will land on you but for some reason dont bite you. If bitten Piriton or any other antihistamine takes away the itching/rash. I tried every type of repellent over the years and Skin So Soft is the only one that works for me. Also ask if camp sites have midge killers, looks like a patio heater but it attracts and kills midges. HTH
-
Daisy, did you try Urine as that is supposed to be a fantastic repellent? ;D :-*
-
I'm happy to go wherever. Last place was fine by me and the owners seemed happy enough when we were playing cars. :y
-
Daisy, did you try Urine as that is supposed to be a fantastic repellent? ;D :-*
Are you taking the pee?
Or giving it.... ;D
-
Daisy, did you try Urine as that is supposed to be a fantastic repellent? ;D :-*
Yeah, but not of midgies! ;)
-
me and wifey would be interested static caravan even better as we are tentless....whilst on the subject of static caravans noticed a lot of caravans at newent are they for rent do you know
-

Yes my dear, don't be shy now I know you tried it. :-X :-*
-

I think you will find the caravans are all privately owned and left there for the season.
With regard to the lakes, I'm afraid it's a bit too far for us, things are tight at the moment and I wouldn't be able to justify the fuel bill.
If I had to vote though I think I would go for the same site as long as Daz can suffer fealing with the owners again.
-

;D Lol, Darth, anyone that knows me will tell you I'm full of it, lol! And no, it didnt work, as stated, I've tried everything, lol!

For that area, I feel we have few options. Burns Farm, useless inbred retards, wouldn't have us back, nor would most of us wish to go back. *VERY* few others will take groups.
I seem to recall midges were only a problem on first night, so as others said, luck of draw.
I'm content to go anywhere in the mainland UK - if more than about 4 or 5hrs away, would probably just stay longer to make it worthwhile.
Whilst Newent is a great site, I feel it excludes many members who don't want to travel too far, be it logistical or cost. Same with, for eg, a Cornish/Devon/Kent/Highlands etc. We have Newent thats within easy reach of Wales/Midlands/South, even London at a push. Lakes was originally chosen as an area, as it allowed most of Scots members to join in, albeit with a trek for some.
Yorkshire or south Northumberland could fit the bill similarly. Or north end of peaks is fairly central.
I guess it all boils down to who wants to come. Some well known regular members, as its pick on Uncle Albert day, have previously stated no interest in such events. Many others I've never seen at these meets, which is a shame. If its the usual suspects, no point trekking up to Inverness for example ;)
Count me in, but I haven't voted, as I don't mind either way.

Now now TB, what have you been taught about respecting your elders! ;D ;D ;D
-
That's magic :D
-
Migies were a pain, but guess that anywhere in the Lakes would be the same, Kielder area is similar....
Thinking around North Yorks / East Coast there are some lovely area's but I would suggest that finding a site that would allow such a big group and fixing of cars, as others have suggested, may be difficult....... :( :(
That said, York or Harrogate area's would provide entertainment for the widows, should there be any thoughts of the east side... :y
-
I've had a read through. I liked the site in question although it was a bit of a trek just to drain off after a few scoops & the wash, hit the button shower was a challenge! Also most of us could'nt use our phones or lappies which at first was a shock to the system but once used to the idea was quite liberating....those of us of a certain age managed fine beforehand. Midges will get where they get. Be glad of us few smokers as they hate it as well!!!
Lastly i'd like to see the Lakesmeet stay in the Lakes. We have meets north & south already & i love Cumbria.

Mind we have mutant phirana midges up here ;D ;D ;D(avoid the west coast)
Why not go for scarbrough,bridlington or north yorks moors

Like someone has already mentioned it is quiet difficult to get somewhere that will take groups, plus allow you to work on your cars...
Maybe less trouble to go back same place..... They do however stress me out chasing for the bloody money ???
-
Sorry if I missed it, but are there any prospective dates at this point?

Not at the minute mate but if you want to put the dates you can make it I will start the ball rolling
-
No mate I'm just curious at the minute. Coming across the pond needs planning, etc. plus there are some jobs need doing!! If it's early July like 2011 it may not suit, so I'll watch this space! There's always newest too I suppose if that goes ahead. Would be nice to get across to a meet, so we'll see how it goes?
Cheers :y

If nobody has any objections, Sophie and I are considering attending one of the big meets this year? If it's right up north - so be it! :y
-
Why would anyone object? Everyone is welcome to come. :y
Wondering if you will stay longer at this one? :D

I didn't really mean if anyone would object, moreso if there'd be pitches available, etc...
I've not seen so many of OOF for so long... :'(

Well as you know I put a thread up in the Meetings Section when I have organised it. You will then see how many people are actually going as I add their names to the list, when and only when they have sent a cheque deposit to hold there pitch to me.
There is no booking through the site unless staying far longer than the OOF Weekend.
:y
-
The site was fine last year. True the midgie bastids were horrific and it was a bit of a slog up to the facilities, but it did have running water, and the shop always had milk and bacon. :y
Would perhaps prefer somewhere next to some water in an ideal world, however happy to go with the flow :y, and like you've said Daz, not everyone is as enamoured by the the prospect of 30+ middleaged ale drinking Omega driverspeeps taking over for a long weekend of car repairs ::)
If nowt else, I'll be grateful for 5 days holiday this year :P

Hmmm, too close to call in the poll I guess?
Doesnt look like too many would be massively upset if we tried another site? Going by comments....? What do we need? Camping, statics, amenities and a view... And possibly some hard standing. :-\
There's also making life easier for the organiser to consider Daz...? Bloke was a bit Odd to deal with last time iirc?

IIRC the old boy was a bit 'different' ::). So if any one knows of a lake side industrial estate with a nice flat field next door and hot/cold running water and toilets we should be on to summat. :D Just need the dates so I can prebook the recovery truck :-X
-
Wasn't there talk of having two Newent meets this year as it's a superb site, we're always welcomed back and there's a good area for car work. Fairly easy for people from either the north or south, although bit of a trek from Scotland.

Personally two Newent Meets would be brilliant, we are very welcome at the site, owner is great and no trouble. Lots to do around the area, but we have a few members who then need to travel starship miles ???
If anyone knows of a good site they have either heard of or may have visited then let us know :y
-
TBH, Newent is 100 miles closer to us (although I would visit my mum on the way to the Lakes) and if we can only make one meet this year it will be Newent.
-
The distance does not really bother me being fair, I actually would like the Scotland Meet Broocie thought about sorting in the Scout Hut ........
But the Lakes Site we have used the last two years for me has a few issues....
The owners badger me for their money... Which is most annoying.......
The Pitches are not all level and so some have to sleep on the bank.
The toilets/showers are rather Primitive.
Oh.. and the Midges would make a Vicar swear.
-
Yeah, distance isn't the issue for me TBH. I can't really comment on the facilities at the Lakes as we were in a static, but I understand about the pitches and I know you had "issues" with the owners ::)
And, of course, he wasn't exactly sympathetic when he cut your lead ::) (not that we were either :D)
-
Understand the dilemma Dazzle ............. :-\
Maybe start a Poll, and see what develops? ;)
-
At the end of the day, if whoever organises it is going to be pestered constantly by the owner, it won't be an enjoyable weekend for them.
Things could be better or worse at another camp site, on that score, TBH.
What about getting people to pay up front or on arrival? or pay the bloke yourself and he can try and pester all of us. ;D Is there a way to mitigate this, I wonder?
-
To be honest I have tried to collect the money off people when they have pitched their tent or caravan... That can be a task in itself :D
Perhaps if everyone paid me as soon as they arrived that may help. We know how much it costs before arriving. If everyone pays me then we don't get a mix up like when people book through me and others booked with the site.... I arrive and Mr owner says "Steve Bailey has arrived and paid." How would I know who that is? most people are known by there forum names........
-
As KW implies, rather than deposit, how about everyone sends you, Dazzle, a non-returnable full payment for the 2 nights. Then you have the money to give them as soon as monkey nuts first comes over.
Those that pull out, for whatever reason, will know their money will be put to good use in the OOF Official Meets Beer fund ;D
-
just a suggestion but why dont we have a meet where all you nutters just chill out and relax and dont work your arses off on other peoples motors quite realise its the OOF spirit etc...could not belive what i saw at newent to be honest and please dont get me wrong was very interesting and appreciated the advice given on my owm motor but why not leave that for newent then you wont be restricted so much on what camp site sure we can find some other ways to amuse our selves ::) ::)

Bloody 'ell Paul, everyone would be pissed by 4pm!! ::) ;D
-
;D ;D ;D and full of sausages ;D ;D ;D unless holy and doggy ate them all
-
Last year at the Lakes some of us found a few different things to do, which was great fun and everyone that went had a brilliant time.
We found an indoor rock climbing wall which was not dear at all and such fun...
Then went on a Treasure Hunt with a geocache sat nav owned by Hotel21.
I know its great to work on cars but the change was well appreciated :y

semi retirement ;D ;D ::)

That would be reasonable, everyone would know exactly where they are then :y

What if we had one here which was a 'big chill' type meet, with the usual September bash being 'as is' (or was!) perhaps?
However, am mindful that it's a fair ol' trek for some, (notably Dear Broocie), and certainly wouldn't want anyone to be/feel ostracised thereby.
Just a (well-intentioned) thought ............ :-\

There must be NO mis-understandings on this very point Great One:
"Everyone pays in full and up front to your goodself BEFORE their pitch is booked/reserved. There will be no refunds given"
All our meets are planned well in advance, and it's the individuals' responsibility to ensure that they are available/intend attending. I'd find it bl**dy annoying if I had to 'chase' someone for their (modest) fees.
Wholly agree with TB's comments regarding this .......... (Rant over) ;)

The whole reason for setting up the meet in the Lakes was due to it being a wee bit more central and allowing members from Scotland a shorter trip down, so moving the meet further south defeats the purpose of why it was set up. Personally, think stick with the Lakes or move it further north. Generally midges are worst on the west coast of scotland moreso from mid-June onwards. Prefer, the scottish midges cos they don't tend to bite me as much as those english midges ;D ;D ;D

Do you know of any good sites though a little further up, maybe into scotland? Or any the opposite side to the Lakes, still in England I know but still high enough ..

I know a few but they are closer to the mountains eg Glencoe, Ben Nevis, Isle of Skye, Torridon, Fort Augustus etc, etc.. They are probably a bit further than folks would want to travel.
