**CANCELLED** Di's 'Over the hill' meet August 13th-14th

[Diane]

As I am turning the big 40 in August I thought it would be a good excuse to have a meet if anybody fancies it?
I have booked us a nice flat field opposite the Crooklands Hotel which is close to J36 on the M6 (LA7 7NW) for Friday 13th and Sat 14th August. It's basically a well maintained field that the owners let out to caravan rallies at various stages throughout the year. You would be semi roughing it as there is no leccy or showers. There is a toilet or maybe 2. There is the pub across the road too - The Crooklands Hotel which serves good food.
The cost is £4.50 per night. Bongo's, caravans, awnings and tents are welcome. There is no limit on numbers and there is plenty room for the marquee. I havn't come up with any particular format for this as yet. The Jacobs Join on the friday night always seems to work. How about fancy dress of some description on the saturday night? We could do some games for the kids late afternoon. (Please please come Peg Legs!!) Any ideas for a theme for fancy dress are welcome. Feel free to chuck some ideas at me



So what do you think????

Seeing as I was born in the 70's, having a 60's theme would be before my time Not that I know much about the 70's either. The 80's was my best time

[B*Witched Blingo]

Ha............You'll be older than me ya old mooooooooooooo xx

[mister munkey]

The 80's was my best time

Can we expect the weather to be in the 80s too then?
