All being well I am free Friday night and possibly saturday depending on schedules from work. Will even bring the Bongo along this time and leave the Eos at home :-)
It will be great to see you again Simon. Shame you can't bring the Eos too. It's a great little car, even though I only got to sit in it :D
If there is enough bongos, we might get aerial piccis ? Or at least see that plane in action :D

Hi Anna,

I will bring a couple of planes down and the aerial photography gear. Might have another larger glider ready by then which should go higher and get better pictures. Cannot fly before 4pm on Friday as the camp site is in the controlled fly zone of Donna Nook weapons range. I would bring the Eos by trailer however it would exceed the hitch weight of the Bongo :-)

Hi There,
I have just finished trying to get this sorted with Haven. They wanted exact numbers and payment by next week ,because they are getting very busy :shock: Since this was impossible, we did eventually come to the agreement as follows.
Phone them on 01507474200 and VERY IMPORTANT- Quote "BONGO CLUB" when booking. Failure to do this will mean you will pay full price!!!!which cannot be refunded So if the price is too much don't pay and let me know.
Fri Sat £25 Fri Sat Sun £30
Unit, people, awning, electric, passes and dog are all cluded in this price.
Because it is already getting busy for this period, early booking is highly recommended to ensure we get our usual field. So get booking folk :D

Cheers Anna

Hi Anna,Jimmy PM sent-----------me & Christine have booked Fri & Sat -- £25--so see you there & hopefully a lot more Midlanders & obviously anyone who fancies it is more than welcome -- the weather should still be quite nice (hopefully) we went in March lovely dry sunny days but quite chilly at night --& we still had a brilliant time \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ so anyone interested book sooner rather than later :) :) :)

I am suprised that they are saying they are so busy and I wonder if they are just pushing for the early bookings. All the kids round here are back at school already so it isn't even school holidays. maybe people are banking on the late summer weather again [-X

Hi,
Ray , Glad you got booked, OK. It will be good one, but I am concerned about the early booking. They will only hold these places for a short time, as they may need them for definate bookers.I would hate to lose our field :(
MC, They told me and others, that this year in Golden Sands is particularly busy. Guess folks must have heard what a great time we had in march 8) :lol: Hope you can make it too :D

Cheers Anna
