10th anniversary gathering near Chester

To celebrate 10 years since the formation of the Bongo Fury owners club, Sunday 24th February 2013 has been designated as National Bongo Day. What we have in mind is a series of events in various locations across the UK & Ireland where Bongonauts can get to meet each other and perhaps have a Sunday lunch.

Hi
Thanks Tomo53 and HazelM, will add you to the list.

I think there is a hugh car park there, will check it out before the date, to work out the best place for us to park up.

I di know they do good food in the cafe, there was a children's play ground, if any one has kids. Will check it out.

Will put more details nearer the date.

Thanks

Just a thought - if anyone is interested - there is a CC Site not too far away (Chester Fairoaks) which is open all year round for members & non members. It is very close to the Cheshire Oaks Retail Park and a newly opened largest M&S in Europe (apparently). Have not stayed at the site as it is too near to home but reviews look ok.

"Happy New Year to all".

Hi
Have been to the Grosvenor garden centre today, all good with loads of car park spaces.

Also spoke to the owner of Casey's, if you bring your membership card, can get 10% discount in Casey's on the day.

Any more interest in coming to Chester, nor that far for North/Mid Wales.

Hi, we cannot make it but do visit there a lot and am sure you will all have a fantastic day as it is a lovely garden centre with excellent cafe and Caseys is onsite also.

We think The Griffin Inn at Rossett, which is nearby, has a campsite if anyone needs to stay over, but we have not been there so cannot recommend it one way or the other.
