hi i can get hold of a piece of well drained grassed land from a local scout group that would allow prob 30 bongos with awnings to camp for reasonable donation to the scout group
it is also possible to hire the hall c/w kitchen toilets and shower at £50 per night
they can supply a bar depending on numbers good priced drinks i.e pint for £3.00
if anyone is intrested let me know they just held a scooter rally there with 150 camping and 300 attending as day visitors such a sucsess they are returning next year
they will even allow a camp fire lol

Sounds like a good idea as there is currently nothing being planned for us southerners. Gotta sort the beer prices out though, £3 a pint is a bit steep. Might be worth getting a barrel from Hopback Brewery.

definitely attending this one. Only not certain about an overnighter in February with no leccy for the heater. It is the South after all so probably will not be brass monkeys.
