Is it maybe worth phoning to check? be a bugger if people turn up expecting to get in for half price on the vouchers & then have to pay full price, when they could have got online discount.
Just a thought :wink:

That was how I established that it is per transaction, by phoning, 'cos it doesn't say so in the ad. If ten people queue and pay a total ten times, that's 10 transactions, therefore 10 coupons, if 10 go in for one payment transaction, that's one transaction, one coupon.
It should be clearer, though. Not much of a way to run an ad campaign.

That's fair enough then, we'll all go in together, as long as we all have cash to pay, it's one transaction, nice one Geoff :D

Saturday the plan for most is to set up camp, wander round Wells for the day, spend the night at Haybridge, sunday decamp, meet at Wookey 11ish with anyone that's just coming for the day. All the details are updated on the first post on the first page :wink: See you there :D

Anyone at this meet want 2 same size large adult (can be zipped together) sleeping bags?

Good usable condition. Just want to pass them on because of history... :lol: :roll:

Just got back from a cracking weekend, 13 bongos overnighted at Haybridge, not sure how many ended up at Wookey today for the day meet, the weather gods were kind, even though it was a tad chilly last night. The usual brilliant company, lots of the usual faces & a few new ones.
I think we may be on the way to converting Jason who runs Haybridge from a VW to a bongo man :wink:
Photos to follow when I get a chance, thanks to everyone for a cracking first bongo weekend of the season =D> :D Especially Geoff for the idea & organisation, even if you did wimp out of camping with us :wink:
