If you are going away somewhere and don't mind meeting up with other Bongo owners or if you've been somewhere & want to tell us about it & stick up your photos, put the details here.

Looking forward to seeing some of the kind folks that made us so welcome as newbie day visitors last year.

Hope Bobs got his song repetoir ready, seem to also remember a CrAzY big awning in the noisy corner of the field :lol:

Cant w8 - port and cheese for how many??
:lol: I think we usually have around 14 peeps in the "CrAzY big awning" so I'll bring an extra bottle of port \:D/

Port may well refresh my memory. :lol:

Got through just after 1100 and managed to get booked in ok. =D>

Looking forward to seeing you all again this year and hope to join in at the skittles and throw a flopper or two.

We'll try not to lie in too long and miss half a day like we did at the New Years meet. :oops:

My wife said it was just like trying to get Take Tickets but we are booked in too. This will be our first meet and probably first time camping in the Bongo. Have a brand new awning to work out too!

Do many kids go? Ours will be nearly 4 and 10 months so wondering if there will be lots of playmates so Daddy can relax?

Looking forward to it!

And if you time your arrival cleverly, there will be plenty of people to give you a hand with the awning! :lol:

We are only 1 mile down the road from Merley and our Nursery is in the members discount section if you want to come and have a wander round and save some money 10% with your Bongo members card, on the Friday and Saturday (closed sundays) while your at Merley. Would be perfect timing for the first of the spring bedding plants or some shrubs to replace your winter losses :D

Relax? What's that? I've got a free-range 5 year old son (with a bicycle) and there is usually a good number of kids at most meets, most of whom have met at other meets so know each other and I'm sure they will happily welcome another into the fold (not sure about your 10 month old though!!). There's a nice little play area at Merley too.

Looking forward to seeing you all, Karen. Don't worry about oversleeping - I'll send your early morning wake up call over on his bike and he can ring his bell until there are signs of life. What time? He doesn't do much before 6.30 these days :lol: :lol: :lol:

I must not miss your singing this year, Bob (and if you remember to bring them, I'd still really like to borrow those videos .... not of your singing!!)
