IMHO this is the best lead so far, and if we want something this summer, our options are reducing daily. The more info the better, Andy.

Here is the Bury Council's website link, with a bit more info on the park....

can't do the 5th/6th as I'll be at Ford Fair, down at Silverstone, that weekend!

We did just buy a tent the other day tho

bassy-alex · 03-05-2006, 23:44

I wouldnt mind comming along... cant do the second weekend cos Ive got a gig; also, depnds where it ends up being, but, sounds like fun!

fullfat · 04-05-2006, 00:07

Sounds good, i'm moving to Manchester in a couple of weeks! At the mo I can do either wknds that month

sharkrider · 05-05-2006, 18:54

sounds good to me, best idea for a place yet

edit: It would have to be the first weekend for me too!

Sorry to throw a spanner in the works, but wouldn't it be better to go for early July when the kids are at school. Campsites should be a lot quieter and probably more receptive to larger groups. Just my thoughts

yashicamat · 07-05-2006, 16:35

Possibly, although I would have to hand the organisation over to someone else - I'm in hospital from 21st June to mid July.

But if it suits others then it'd be better. I've been stupidly busy recently, but I'll start fishing for venues soon.

oskah · 07-05-2006, 17:11

when ever it is I will be up for it. Just need to sort out getting myself another skoda pretty soon or I will have to park away from the group. ( or bring the gf fabia vrs but not much space for two and a dog and all the camping stuff + beer lol )

AwesomeSarah · 08-05-2006, 11:14

I agree that it would be better while the kids are at school.
If I can help organise this I dont mind.
I do end up being out of my house for quite a while with the travelling , but as I am the one pushing this I will help all I can

vRS19TD · 08-05-2006, 14:25

I would be up for this but i think i'm going down to Torquay the 2nd weekend and i can never commit this early to any other weekends.

The 1st weekend will probably be the best for me though.

Makefish · 12-05-2006, 06:37

I think wev'e established that there is enough interest in a summer BBQ so who's gonna take this by the scruff of the neck and actually book up somewhere before it gets too late?.

vrsfab · 12-05-2006, 07:23

I'm looking, but it's not proving very easy to persuade campsite owners that we're going to behave on their site

. I will keep trying though

We are the Briskoda site we do behave

Just tell them we are all members of a skoda fan club. They will never think we are going to be trouble.

yashicamat · 13-05-2006, 13:49

I'll give a hand soon, very busy at the moment with my HNC exams and a possible job change looming, but I'll try and find some time soon.

agbasey · 13-05-2006, 14:17

There is a camp site - scout related and field style camping near hope in the peaks.

Would be keen on this event so let me know.

from post 19 on this thread

Someone has all but said it .......but you will have a devils own job trying to persuade a camp/caravan site owner to let you have that much space for a weekend as it would stop their normal trade for two weeks (Saturday to Saturday) and they will loose a fortune !!!

Best bet is a showground or field, but you will need toilets, waste disposal and a safe water supply....................and it does need to be nearly flat

We are having just those problems trying to set up a BBQ and Camping around Marlborough........so good luck with the effort, we know how difficult it is
