Well done John and Ruth, we had a great time last year, and the rule we had where newbie's had to supply two cases of beer no longer applies............... So just bring yourselves and Pat supplies the FUN and :sin: :thumb: Look forward to meeting you both and Deals a lovely place to visit if you have never been. Bob and Jane.

Hello everyone

Just rang Cottingham Lakes to check in with them for our easter rally.

I have arranged that I will be there from the Thursday evening.

There is eight of us booked in.

Its not too late if anyone else want to book in, but you will have to be sited a little way from us, that might be a good thing There are only a few EHU left, but plenty of non electric ones available.

If you want to come phone Cottingham Lakes direct on 01304 371898 and let me know when you have booked.

Its looking good for a fun meet.

Kind regards Pat and neil

Hello everyone whose coming to Deal.

If anyone has a Kyham type motordome or day room can you bring it so that we can mesh a couple together to have somewhere to meet.

Otherwise we will be sitting on each others laps, and that might not be a good intiation for the newbies.

Hi Pat

We won't be able to arrive until Friday morning as Paul has to work Friday night and then we will need to leave on Sunday as have a family birthday party on Sunday afternoon in St Albans.

Have not been able to get through to site but will let them know as i had originally said we would arrive on Thursday evening.

We will just have to pack all the fun into 2 days instead of 4

Deb and Paul xx

Hi Deb, still bring enough drink for the whole weekend and we will help you drink it. See you and Paul there. :thumb: Bob.

Hi Deb and Paul

No problems just let the site know when you can make it

You do realise that the fishing competition is over 4 days.

So you will have to go some to win

only joking

Pat

 

[sparky_speedy]

Hi All

Pat - have contacted site to say we will arrive Fri am.
I will just have to prop Paul up with two rods by the lake and he can kip whilst he is fishing.

Bob - Will bring enough booze. Hope its a bit warmer this time after freezing in Mersea Island.

Sue - we just fill up the fridge to the brim with wine and the beer stays in the shower cubicle.

Deb xx

Just spoke to the site, and they have asked us to go onto the hardstanding in front of the grass.

It will be a tight squeeze but we can all fit there, we can still pitch the tents on the grass area.

The weather forecast looks a bit wet, but we are hardened campers.

I am sure we will be okay, but if anyone wants to pull out let me know and I can inform the site.

Pat

Just had a look at the hardstanding bit on google earth and we can easily all fit on, so not much of a panic now.
If fact it might be better, because some people struggle on wet grass.

Wishing everyone at this meet a very Happy Easter, safe journeys and lots of fun.

ENJOY

 

[Diabalo]

The suns shining, it's blowing half a gale but who cares?

Got greeted by an Essex blonde bombshell in a fluorescent jacket, our very own Pat

Not sure the vans are lined up exactly but she tried

Had a master class in reversing a trailer from Bob, he got there in the end

This is shaping up to be a great weekend:thumb:

Barbies are coming out at 6pm for a cook off

Just waiting for the rest of the gang to turn up

[Pat4Neil]

Well you would have laughed at our attempt to put up the Funsters arms tents in the wind.
It would help if a certain person knew what a door was.

Anyhow it gave us great shelter from the wind and a lovely evening was had by everyone.
Going for a walk to the local farm shop. Were Dane wants to buy us a Rhea egg to try, there has to always be one.

Two more arrivals due today, so I better get my fluorescent jacket on again, its hard work marshalling and keeping people in order malarky.

Happy Easter

Pat

 

[Diabalo]
