I need to decide before Sunday as I will be in Hungary from Sunday to Friday (will arrive DSC on Saturday if it is on).

If it's on I'll book for Saturday only and take a chance, then if it's clear I'll book Sunday night while I am down there (if I can).

I've told Jackie that we understand and that we will use an alternate location. I've asked her to let us know, out of season, when the corner becomes free again and we will then book it up (as long as she doesn't ask for a deposit).

In the meantime I suggest we use Blacklands or any other locations people can offer.

so will we book Blacklands as individuals or as a group?

I've already emailed the guy at Blacklands to tell him we would like to come down that weekend. I guess we should book individually also so he knows the numbers coming.

Ahhhh.... He hasn't replied yet so that poses a problem.

Fay are you sure? Leon just replied with...

QuoteHi Mike,
No need to book individually, if you could just fill out a booking form and
put your approx. numbers of people, tents, and electric hookups in the
additional info box that will be great.

When I E Mailed him last night this is what he replied:

QuoteHi Carole,
The electric hookup is fine at that time, as it is before the Friday of the bank holiday weekend (from when all electric pitches are booked).

So don't know if that means there were one or two only left, but I made it clear to him that I was coming with the OAS group and that hook up was required.

Unless he has put all the remaining hook ups aside for our group and didn't realise you were part of it Fay.

If all else fails is it possible to share?  Certainly I won't be using my pitch until Saturday.  I also wonder if he has splitters like they have at Rother.  

Carole

Carole

Can I take a few mobile phone numbers so I can ring you guys before I leave on the Saturday as you may know whether it is possible to share and or/ I still have a pitch with hook up left.  I don't want to ring the camp as they will not know about the sharing aspect.

Could perhaps Mike and another PM me their up to date mobile number.

Thanks

Carole
