Lakes Meet 09?

[Darth Loo-knee]

Sorry Mark but that sounds quite dear to me. I will be giving it a miss

[Vamps]

Can I have a room for 2 please, myself and daughter. B&B, full board, their, or ours, bbq, whatever, as long as there are a decent amount of member going.  

[Dave-C]

I've finally got round to a Lakes alternative venue.

Given the support shown for York I've put together a late season deal with this place http://www.activity-centre.com/

This is a bit more cost than usual but is a different concept entirely...

It has 137 beds available in dorm style rooms or 2,4,8 beds - yes bunk beds do feature! Separate showers  - newly refit and very clean.

£24 per person per night - on B&B basis (no room only option) inc all bedding, but not towels. Not sure about kids - forgot to ask  

Large BBQ on site available - or they can cater for BBQ at £6/7 per head inc a sticky bun for a pudding. Bring your own plates and plastic forks to keep cost down.

Fully licensed bar and indoor meeting area (the bar) - but that means you can't bring your own booze I'm afraid - unless you sneak it in your room after dark.

Field available at the end of the short drive to park all of the cars and ok to work on here too.  Also limited tarmac hard standing area if required can be used.

Sorry no dogs.

So for £30 a night, you can sleep in a warm bed, feast at a communal BBQ, have a hot shower before waking up for a cooked breakfast and if it's cold or raining you can slouch inside too and the only things you need to bring are a change of clothes and some tools  

Dates available are based on Fri/Sat's of:

31 July - 2 Aug
7-9 Aug
16-16 Aug
4-6 Sept
11-13 Sept
2-4 Oct

I'm off to Austria now but please feel free to comment if you think this is worth looking at and I'll pick up the thread next week.

Sounds nice, isn't the highlighted the proposed Newent date....  not that it affects me but no doggies may be an issue, kids enjoy the meets too

The silence is pretty deafening.  :-/

Shame, because I don't think I can make any of the other meets this year.

[Timbuk]

This is our original big meet of the year, would be  shame if it fell off the calendar :-/

Agreed .. but the idea of a "dormitory" type place does not sit that well ... SWTSMBO is pretty much off the idea ..

True. That and the "sneaking booze in" would add a geography field trip aspect to it. Would prefer camping TBH. :-/

Agreed again i'm afraid, methinks we prefer to do our own thing but thanks Mark (Chopsdad) for having a look anyway.

Sorry guys (and Guy) I've been away for a while but the Adventure Centre idea doesn't seem popular - no harm done, it was just one idea.

I'll contact some of the larger campsites in the area and see if they can accommodate a group as large as ours and are ok with, cars, dogs, booze, caravans and large bbq and I'll post up what's on offer.

First thing is to find a site, second is to choose a date and third it to see who can make it.

It's not over 'till the fat lady sings...........
