Rally Chat Lyndon Top weekend Aug 11th - 13th 2023

[OldCodger]

PS mention was made of a CCC meet. There’s a CCC site right next door but it it is a very different location! The great thing about Lyndon Top is it’s field with water and a dump point and nothing else.

Just waiting on date confirmation from Lyndon Top

There is a possibility of a small discount

However another option is we all book independently and pay the site directly, this would reduce my admin significantly and mean we can gather as a ‘meet’ not a ‘rally’

We would still be allocated the separate area just for our use, is a £1 or £2 discounted rate going to be a game changer for anybody wanting to go?

It is £15 / night standard rate

It’s your rally/meet David so whatever works best for you will be good for us.

I agree - you could tie yourself up in knots trying to please and/or meet everyone's individual needs.

Me too - keep it simple if you can.
Cindy should find out about her work commitments/escape plan soon.

Ditto above posts re your Meet/your Rally David, ie, KISS.

Cheers,

Jock.

 

[DavidG58]

ie, KISS

I know the first three letters do I resemble the fourth

I definitely endorse the sentiment

 

[Oscar]

Agree with the above comments - keep it simple & don't tie yourself up in knots

Get yourself an Admin secretary David.....Terry & Bob did

Always wanted to go to Lyndon top but sadly we won't be able to make this one. Have a great time all!

 

[DavidG58]

Right, decision made, this is going to be a meet, not an official rally

Lyndon Top have allocated the first field on the right, accessed before the barrier, makes it much easier to get in as the keypad is a bit low and the barrier a bit narrow

We will all book ourselves independently with Lyndon Top, I have told them we will add MHF after our registration number , but they are very relaxed and say it won’t matter if we don’t , the site manager will liaise with us to confirm arrivals

Lyndon Top Caravan Park | Booking Summary

I have booked in already for Thursday 10th August for 4 nights setting off for home on Monday 14th

I will bring my bike, but not sure I will go right round the water , done that once now might be tempted to walk it though bizarrely I think it’s 15 miles but will check that out more precisely before committing or at least before setting off there are two pubs and a couple of ice cream options

Bike might be used to visit local pub as well which is also an easy flat under 1 mile walk

No specific agenda , just another opportunity to meet old and new friends, put the world to right over a coffee or maybe something stronger for those that chose

I will see if a food delivery can be arranged for one of the nights but no promises on that yet, it is likely we will have a car with us, so would have a collection option

I think a cake and coffee gathering always goes down well, so bring a cake please , weather dependent maybe Sunday morning for that

If you could please post on here to say you have booked that would be good so we have an idea on numbers, I will then update page 1 with attendees

[Carol]

We would have loved to have been there sounds nice and relaxed, I'm sure you will all have a great meet.

 

[dulvil]

There’s a small walk to the golf club for drinks and food, and a good breakfast in the morning

 

[Neilfg]

Unfortunately, we are unable to attend , hope it goes well. Have fun

DavidG58 As this is now happening. Maybe best to start a new thread under the scehduled rallies / meet section.
Put all details and the attendance list on that first page, i find this much easier to follow and all info in one place.

Good luck with it, I will confirm as soon as i know our movements..

I will have a look at moving it, does it show up any differently ? I see so much confusion with multiple threads for same event I thought it would be easier to leave it here all in one place

I would just start a new thread under the scheduled heading... Call it Lyndon top meet and the dates.
Copy and paste the stuff you have already posted above ( #42) job done.. Edit anything you think needs changing.

 

[Winger]

DavidG58 ,
Sorry David we are now unable to attend, I’ve been reminded by the boss that we’re having a garden pub party. Have a good weekend

 

[L' Hobo]

Have a good time everyone! I am with family (what's left of it ) over that weekend, so cannot make it, next time perhaps?

[TheAleMan]

Hi David. Interested in this so please put us on the list. Thanks

 

[DavidG58]

Email back from Lyndon Top, the area they have allocated can take 60 units, possibly more as we are motorhomes not car and caravan combinations

 

[Terry]

Hi David if you start a rally /meet thread as the “starter” you can edit it so as Steve tonka says everything / information can be put on the first post along with the list of attendees That way it makes no difference when your thread goes off topic as all info is on first post - if you look at Lisa’s first post on 3fs /Drax all information is there without having to read 20 pages plus
Edit forgot to say a lot of funsters don’t read or take instruction well

 

[RowleyBirkinQC]

Interested, will check with Cindy regarding her work commitments (as we’re away around/including the previous weekend).

It looks like you will have the misfortune of Cindy and I joining you. Will likely aim to arrive sometime Thursday and depart Monday. Due to now elderly dogs, one of which is somewhat arthritic, I doubt we’ll be yomping significant distances around the water.

Thanks Terry

Like I mentioned in reply to Steve , I thought it might confuse more than help having two threads for the same event

These threads can still be edited , but I will create another and see how that goes

Get yourself an Admin secretary David.....Terry & Bob did

Terry appears to have joined my management team

Do you know the answer to this please Lisa

If you edit post #1 of a rally thread do those watching get a notification ? Then does it take them to the edited comment

I see confusion developing rapidly, mostly mine

I have no idea what he gets up to on here

Unfortunately, if you edit the first post nobody gets a notification.

Kerry might manage the 1.5miles to the Horse & Jockey and maybe the 2.5 miles to the Wheatsheaf

 

[JockandRita]

I think we might manage either both of those too.

I need to have a chat with my builder/chippie mate, to confirm his dates at ours first, before I make the booking.

Cheers,

Jock.

 

[TheAleMan]

Actually it’s only 1.3 miles to the Horse & Jockey, and 2.1 miles to the Wheatsheaf according to Google maps, so we’ll within our walking Capabilities
