Cat & Fiddle VIII Date Feeler

yashicamat · 20-07-2008, 10:42

Well, after being ambushed at Awesome

I am now starting the ball rolling on the next Cat & Fiddle meet. A few ideas were thrown into the air then, including making the next one a camping meet (which is obviously optional and the day drive would be much the same as normal).

What I'll do is poll two weekends in September and two in October, and it'll be the majority which wins.

If it is a weekend camping event, it'll probably run Friday - Sunday, with drives on both days I expect. If you could please tick the box for interest in camping as well as which weekend you prefer. Cheers.

sharkrider · 20-07-2008, 11:21

nice one, it close enough for us to drive, but we'll camp anyway, as its much more fun to get drunk with people! lol..... I'll talk to swmbo about when she's working, and I'll tick a box

looking forward to it already!

edit: posted 11th - 13th.....

jaymd · 20-07-2008, 13:45

I'm away mid to late Sept' so please make it oct.

postmanpat · 20-07-2008, 13:48

If its a day meet can you make it a Sunday

Yes can do, in fact that's probably easier anyway for the pubs, although traffic is usually marginally heavier.

apd007 · 20-07-2008, 15:10

I'd prefer October, the Euro trip is September.

smstext · 20-07-2008, 16:10

we might be up for it depending on HC being with me that weekend or not. got any ideas of venues yet for the camp part?

yashicamat · 20-07-2008, 16:24

I'd prefer it to be October too actually, although the camping will be a bit chillier (need more BBQ's going for warmth lol). As for venues, I shall be speaking with Andy2407 and see what I can sort out.

vRSLen · 20-07-2008, 18:25

We will be up for it Rob

FOZ1 · 20-07-2008, 19:32

I will be looking out for the date so I can book the W/E off

.
Would only be there for the day though, as i haven't got a tent

How about a group buy for fuel ?

As it will probably be £2.00 a litre by then.

Oh no you Bl00dy well won't,

That's why I thought a group buy might help, you know " sponsored by Shell" sort of thing.

Wardy · 20-07-2008, 21:56

Good stuff Rob, these are always one of the highlights of the Briskoda calendar

Not too fussed over dates, I'll just keep an eye on meet threads and hope I can make it. Will just come for the day(s) though.

Cheers,
Steve

Little Katie · 20-07-2008, 22:37

September is almost certainly out for us cos Andy's going to the US again. First October option looks most likely although we are hoping to have a holiday abroad around then as well. Might be able to join the second October one for a day with the HCs tho. Really hope we can be there.

Andy is going to dig out the campsite addresses later...

andy2407 · 20-07-2008, 23:30

I had a look at some camping venues earlier in the year - was going to try to organise a summer meet but it never got sorted.

I got a positive response from a couple of sites when I contacted them - but I think the next stage is for someone local (yashicamat, jaymd??

) to go and have a chat.

The ones I've found are....

Welcome to Newhaven Caravan Park web site
UK Campsite Link - Newhaven Caravan & Camping Park , Buxton Campsite

Rivendale caravan park and camp site, Peak District, Derbyshire, UK
UK Campsite Link - Rivendale , Ashbourne Campsite

There are loads of others listed on the UK Campsite site. Has anyone stayed at others in this area that they could recommend?

sharkrider · 20-07-2008, 23:31

well , I'm a camper, and I say 11th 13th oct! lol.... will be nice to see everyone again, if a diferent caming date is chosen, I'm sure I can still make it for the day (prolly without swmbo and HC though, as these are the only dates she can do

)

Tom_vRS · 20-07-2008, 23:32

October for me too please, and will do my best to get the Sunday off...

apd007 · 20-07-2008, 23:38

Erm, the October dates are wrong . Friday is the 10th to Sunday the 12th and Friday is the 17th and Sunday is the 19th. I think you may have looked at November by accident.
