Ok, looks like we have some serious interest, (and thanks to everyone for the PM's on this).
As I said before, I have hosted many rallies here before. I'm hoping to meet up with Series71 , and we'll make a plan. Of course it won't suit everyone, but we need to put some stakes in the ground.
Easter is quite late this next year - 24th April
Unfortunately we already have another rally booked in from 28th April to 2nd May 2010 - so that Bank holiday weekend is out.
I'm thinking one weekend in early April might be good?
Fee for rallies is £5 per pitch per night (caravan or tent irrespective of size and number of occupants) This keeps it 'simples'. I think if anyone is serious about coming then they would be happy to send a deposit cheque in return for a gauranteed pitch, and I'll send them a confirmation and receipt. I'll have to limit the number pitches to about 25.
We don't allow dogs.
If someone can get hold of a small marquee this would be ideal for socialising/drinking/meeting/ showing dvd's photos etc. I have a couple of electric hook ups on the rally field - ideal for the marquee or battery charging etc.
I'm happy if someone wants to organise a bbq.
I can build a big camp fire, (great to sit round and drink beer when its dark/cold)
Any other constructive suggestions welcomed
