Southern Softies 2016

Post by Ian » Thu Apr 02, 2015 9:33 am

I thought this year's meeting at Sandyballs went really well, and the facilities were top notch. What are your opinions on booking the same site for next year, but slightly later, over the weekend of 15th April?

Are you sure? Muzette's Easter holiday next year is 2nd-17th April inclusive, I know that's not even when Easter is but you know it makes sense....

Brilliant site Ian. A re run with warmer weather would suit me fine.

I loved the site and couldn't fault the facilities. Got lost a few times! Would you get the same deal after Easter? I wouldn't want to pay anywhere near their prices! But it would be nice to be able to sit outside the van and congregate! I missed that.

I'd be happy to return 8) Maybe I could get to see and use the site when I haven't got a chest infection :twisted:

Thanks Jill. I stopped off at a mate's home in Halesworth for a few nights on the way back and forgot that it was Easter so, when I got home, my doctor's was shut until tomorrow #-o Will be ringing for an appointment then and, by what my neighbours have said, you have to ring each morning to see if there is an appointment available, so I could be camping in their reception until they see fit to see me. :lol:
