Hi all you a2 fans the month of july has been chosen for this years camping weekend --- friday 6th till sunday 8th---- this includes a saturday so will suit members that find a sunday awkward. The weekend will take place in suffolk--- http://www.stmargaretscampsite.com/
I have been up to view the site and i think it will suit us in as much that it is nice and flat with excelent drainage-handy with the weather at the moment. There is a pub 5 mins walk down the road that serves great food and is owned by the locals in the small villiage. We can also have a fire pit for our evening gathering and enjoy a toasted marshmallow or two !
I have found local places to visit indoor and out--who is up for a crabbing comp? This is a beautiful part of the country located very close to the coastline. It has areas that are still covered by a government secrecy order---but i have info i will share with you over the camp fire. If you need any help or advice on camping equipment please ask away.

The start time for the weekends fun starts friday night(we will be there from about 3pm), but if you can't come till satuday then thats no problem(or you need to put a tent up in the late hours) friday night is bbq night---the site sells local produce but please dont eat the chickens! Saturday will be a flexible day in as much as if its sunny we can head off to the coast or to more covered area if its wet (it will be sunny !) saturday night i thought it would be nice to all walk down and support the local pub and sample the food then head back to camp for a warming fire pit and chin wag. Sunday wil be a lazy pack up and a drive out for all that are interested. The local area is great for photography so pack your cameras.

IF you have never been to a social event then why not make this your first---all are welcome and its allways great to see new faces.

Please show your attendence to this event by clicking the calendar link here http://www.a2oc.net/forum/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=60&day=2012-7-7&c=1
and also in this thread. I will very soon be booking the pitches as they are just on hold at the moment(limited numbers) so please get back to me asap
carry on camping mike

Hi a2 er's if your considering the camping but have no tent or other gear have a look at aldi this week as they have a tent and other equipment very cheep. As a big fan of these pop up tents some of you will have seen our Quechua base seconds 4.2 tent from decathlon sports shops--- this will be up for sale due to us wanting the larger one. So if your interested pop me a pm and I will give your more info.
Nice to see the John and Ant have put their names down--- any more as I will soon have to confirm the pitch numbers. Cheers mike

We normally have a bbq on the friday night so it suits timings of people arriving and pitching--but this year it looks like we may have some non campers joining us for the saturday-so im thinking weather permitting we hold the bbq on the saturday night. So friday night im thinking the pub is a good idea for a group meal.
Any views on this? cheers mike
 
BBQ on sat and pub meal Friday sounds good to me:) see you all there. Let's hope for some sunshine.

Cheers

Would it be OK if I turned up on the Saturday to say hi? (not camping ... after suffering the Isle of Wight festival a few years ago I decided I'm never camping again! ;) )
 
You are more than welcome Mike. We will be getting the BBQs out so you can join us around the campfire and have some nice food if you wish.

Cheers

David
 
hi mike what time are you thinking of? join us for the day if you like as i think others may be coming due to not enjoying camping----BUT why not get your tent out its only 5 mins walk from a lovely pub!!!!
give it another go cheers mike
pm me if you want my mobile number as its probably easiest way to find us
 
I'd probably turn up about 1 or 2 or so (give or take), it just depends on how efficient I feel in the morning :)
 
We have a offer on rump steak this week, so was going to bring some for the BBQ.

So if you would like one let me know so I know how much to bring.

Cheers

David
 
It looks like I won't be able to visit, since the gearbox needs attention & hence the car will be at Stealth ...
 
No problem Mike. Looking forward to seeing you at audis in the park.

Good luck I am sure Vince will be able to sort you out.

Cheers

David
 
Hi all due to utter dire weather the camping has been cancelled. All those that were down to come have been informed.
cheers mike
