We as a forum have secured a great location here in the southwest for the forum meet :)

the land we have available for the meet comprises of

70 acres broad-leaf woodland

700 acres of grazing/farm land

Access from the parking area to the main camp is via a 4x4 ....dont panic if you dont have one we can arrange a lift to and from the main area all we ask is you tip the ferry man with a £5 :thumbsup:



we have secured shooting rites for the duration of the meet for forum members :thumbsup: ALL shooters wishing to hunt the land will need to show up to date insurance and will also need to pass a shooting test organized by @divebuddy ALL rifles must be uk legal as in 12ftpld ......all questions regarding the shooting side of the event needs to be directed to Dick so please pm him for any questions ;)

the dates are 6th-11th august 2018

the cost is £7 per night(children under 14 free) (camping ) this includes shooting on some of the land for the duration of the meet :cool:

thought id post up a few things everyone needs to bring to the meet :thumbsup:

(1) small bale saw dust .....for the composting toilet
(2) A fuel can with Half a gallon of petrol ...for the generator (make sure the can has your name on so its easy to return to you )
(3) A strong quality bin bag as you will need this to take your rubbish home with you (any thing that can be burnt on your fire its your responsibility to do so )
(4) A fire pit (for your cooking ) the main fire in the camp is to be used for communal meal cooking and the kettle only :thumbsup:
(5) toilet roll,s and anti bac wipes ...when you use the toilet please make sure you wipe it down so its clean for the next user :thumbsup:
(6) A large water container (with your name on it which can be filed from the river ) dont want to see bottles of shop bought water
(7) £4 per person for the BBQ on friday evening (if you wish to take part )


ps... please be aware if you are bringing children to the event they are YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to keep an eye on :thumbsup:


if you need transport to the top of the site please have £5 ready for the ferry man as after the last meet it cost me £40 to get the landrover cleaned :eek:

All site fee,s will be collected when you arrive in the bottom field please make sure you have to correct monies in a money bag with a note stating the dates staying and your name ..

I only ever use single malt for medicinal purposes Mark, after all I might get a cold next Christmas (2018)
 
OK, provisionally put us down for Tues 7th - 11th and I'll see if Mel can cope with me doing an overnight drive! Otherwise it might be the Wednesday before we can get there.

I'm sure after the last meet she'll be all up for it Paul
 
Well given it took us 9.5 hrs to get to Wigan Joe, I think I can probably do the whole journey in less than that time during the night.

agreed, it shouldn't be to bad doing an overnight run
 
I don't see our names on the list, have we been banned due to Emily's behavior at the last event?

Count us in:D
