That's Fay OUT then!!

[Ian]

That's Fay OUT then!!

and if we time it right, she'll be out at 3am

[Fay]

Behave, Ian!!!!!

Just come back from Spain. Driven home by an aging rocker, it was like Colonel Kurtz driving us up the Mekong, windows open, all hair flowing in tendrills & loud classical music on the radio!!!!!!!!!

[The Thing]

I've booked the last pitch with a hook up, see you all there on Friday 22nd after work.

[RobertM]

I'm looking likely for one or two nights.  Would be grateful for a spare 13A socket from one of those with hookups ?

[Daniel]

Damn, did we have to book pitches this time?

[Fay]

Daniel, you only have to book hookup pitches. I hope we will be able to charge our batteries ok, if we do not have a hookup!

[Mike]

I'm sure those with hook-ups would let you plug in your chargers. After all it will cost them no extra.

[Daniel]

Im just praying my bloody mount is fixed by then!

[Carole]

Just had a phone call from Woodlands to say they have had some more hooks ups installed.  There are currently 4 available - so get in quick if you want one.

(I was coming down with Delphine and had rquested one but Delphine can't come now, so I'm just coming down for the day with Doug and Rose).

[Fay]

I just went in to book a hookup & they have all gone.
That was quick!


They only take hookup bookings for at least 3 nights on a bank holiday anyway

[The Thing]

Sorry Fay,  I was told I booked the last pitch with a hookup on the 8th (see below). You are welcome to charge batteries or even plug in your hair dryer  as long as I'm not imaging at the time! I suspect that those with hookups will be much put upon, and those without put out if all the sockets are taken.

[The Thing]

How can we make sure we are all at the same end of the field? It's quite big looking on GoogleMaps.

Can we organise an email to the site with the names of all those with hookups booked so we can ask to be pitched near to each other? Let me know who you are and I will do it.

[Fay]

Duncan, I was just thinking of this. How do we know we will all be in a cluster?? I will get down there around noon Friday & if there is no one else there, could end up pitching in the wrong part of the field. Also, as bank holiday, should we say how many are going anyway?

[Mike]

The part of the field where the hook-ups are is not near where the non-hookup's can camp anyway. Plus, there is a light on a pole near there. So you guys will be some distance away from the rest of us unfortunately, though not too far away.

Last time we were about 100 yards away from the caravans/hook-ups in the corner of the field.

Fay I plan on getting down there about 2pm.
