Day meet Weymouth, Saturday 5th April?

Post by missfixit70 » Mon Mar 24, 2008 1:42 pm

Chris&Gem suggested maybe having a day meet in Weymouth, so how about Saturday 5th April then for a day meet at Lodmoor Country Park? \:D/
Don't know where to recommend for an overnight hook up, if anyone wants to stay over, I'll see what I can find out over the next couple of days, now my knee is returning to normal size [-o<
Shall we say from 11ish onwards? Not that I'm taking responsibility for organisation or weather 8-[ It was Chris&Gem's idea after all :wink: Bring picnics, bbq's or whatever? & Bongoozler bring you know what :wink:
There is the nature reserve, sealife centre, family friendly pub, beach, skatepark (you know you want to Crazy :wink: ) picninc/bbq areas & various other attractions. Not sure if the park & ride or land train are running into town then, but it's about a 10-15 minute stroll into town along the seafront or a bongo shuttle may be arranged if needed. I think it's about a fiver to park all day in the huge car park.
Hopefully see some of you guys there :D

:D I have stayed here several times, it is about 20 minutes walk to Lodmoor country park, if for some reason you didn`t want to take your Bongo > http://www.touringholidays.co.uk/our_pa ... geFlashMap
£14.50 per night with hook up, and the use of all facilities, and it has everything
Now I must have a chat with the BOSS, and find out if were going. Report back later.
cheers! party on dudes.

:D Right, gone and done it now, just booked up for the Saturday and Sunday night at the Haven Seaview site because we felt we could get more use from the site facilities on the Sunday ( Must remember my SPEEDOS & DANCING SHOES)
Look forward to seeing you all there.
cheers! party on dudes.

Can't leave Bath until after 12 on that Saturday meaning arrival around 2'ish. Other than that it looks like a goer from here. :D

Will almost certainly stay overnight on Saturday... We will probably find a pub car park unless the Haven site accepts dirty Bongo's?

I don't see a dirty bongo being a problem for Haven, :wink: Be good to see you both.

:D Bring the dirty Bongo along it will be good to see you again, Kerry`s parents are also bringing their camper down for the weekend, to see what this Bongo malarkey is all about I think. Another point of interest for the meet (all been well and going to plan) will be the unveiling of our new Bongo home conversion which the father in-law is working hard to complete 8-[ We thought the time was right and after 3 years of ownership we are pretty sure what we require from our conversion and YES the footrests stay :wink:
I`ve told him he has to have it finished or he can`t come :lol:
cheers! party on dudes.

Be interesting to see what you've done with the conversion Crazy :wink: Is this a replacement for or addition to the cube kitchen :-k

Hope you get it done in time :wink:
I was thinking that if anyone has any bongo or camping type bits & bobs they want to swap/sell, why not bring them along to the meet? Just a suggestion?

Good idea, we've got a 6 berth tent, used 8 nights, surplus due to Bongo, and a BMW 318 Touring, same. (But the Beemers done more than 8 nights.)

Kirsty has been officially adopted.

So you can come to Haven as well, I booked for Fri/Sat no elec though -only sleeping there really. Didn't cost any more for you but they did want £6 for the dog!

So if you're free Friday evening we can get together as I still haven't managed to get a night off to come down!

And then join us for Bob's singing on Sat night!

Bob-I am bringing the boys so please leave the PANDA at home:)

But on the other hand, we are staying Sunday night just in case the party runs over :twisted:
cheers! party on dudes.
