Hi Brian

It is only bit boggy where there is a hollow in the middle, I am talking our heavy hymer here.

Tomo, Alan and Karen are here and set up, I hope to get down today after I have dropped Chris off to work. It is well drained as you know, so not a problem.

thanks Jo and co for yet another fantastic meet - was not impressed today when the staff meeting i had to come back for was postponed until this afternoon -i could have stayed and lapped up some more sunshine -it gets better -postponed because someone cant count the number of days in a month so assumed it was next week -i think i may have left my admittedly limited IQ behind on the field as these people get paid ten times as much as me because they are the brainy ones :twisted:

Thanks Jo and Chris for another great weekend. Great to meet everyone again for a chin wag.
Leisurely packed my nice dry awning today :lol: :lol: weather was great today and the field had drained quit nicely.
Oh, must thank Hazel for the pasta, and Karen and Chell for setting up the most BEAUTIFULL LAMP ON THE PLANET in my awning :roll: :roll:

Finally got me awning and the aft dried out today...... =D> =D> =D>

Everytime over the last couple of days the tent looked to be getting dry, it tipped it down again. Still all done now.....ready for the next time.

Planning a few days away late October, probably the Peak District; weather permitting!

Still waiting for those photos Brian.... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Pete, will have to touch base about archery, so I have an idea of what is good and not good to buy and all that.

Until the next time dudes, it was a blast.

Had a very pleasant surprize today, bumped into Jeanette (JDS) in Shrewsbury RI and the good news is Dave is doing very well indeed, he's up and about, going for walks ok. Only downside is his immune system isn't ready to mix with a large group of disease riddled Bongoers yet :lol: Not Jeanette's words, but I think thats what she meant :lol: Must say Jeanette's looking alot better and less stressed as well. Just thought I'd let you know.

They`ll get there eventually Oz,my problem is my snail broadband......280 kbps at present which is crap and needs sorting,but as my camera is 8mp,each photo takes 20 mins to upload to photobucket,so i need a full free afternoon :oops:
