Halloween Meeting 27/28 October Ivinghoe

Hi Folks

As the meet now has enough participants to make worthwhile, I have gone through the old thread and come up with the following list of attendees:

1. Thowman
2. Baz
3. Martin M
4. Panky
5. Hazel
6. Mr & Mrs Booth
7. Colin & Helen
8. Tim
9. Swampster
10. Enigma
11. Daytona

There are a limited number of hook ups (cannot remember how many), and I WILL go over to the campsite today and look into the situation so that I can firm things up with the owner of the site.

On Saturday afternoon, I will organise a small run over to the site of the Commer factory, where all our vans were brought into the world (see film of dumpstable http://www.eafa.org.uk/catalogue/205999). As it's not far away, we can leave after lunch, and I will add on some scenic stuff on the way back.

For those with kids, who want to do a non-commer related thing, very close by is Whipsnade Zoo. While it is quite pricey, tickets can be purchased using tesco clubcard points.

Also there is an open farm nearby http://www.meadopenfarm.co.uk/, as well as the Tring branch of the Natural History Museum (free entry) which contains a huge collection of stuffed animals. http://www.nhm.ac.uk/tring/index.html

There is also a large climbing frame and swing area in the campsite to keep the kiddies amused.

We will organise a BBQ for the saturday night. As I live close by, I will bung my large gas BBQ in my van and bring it round to the site. We can also rent a Firepit, and I will sort out a supply of things to burn.

Anyone else who wants to come along, please let me know and I will add you to the list.

I just noticed that the tarrifs have changed slightly on their website.

Caravans, Motor Homes & Trailer Tents are welcome all year round:

Single night £20 per night
Two nights £17.50 per night
Three+ nights £15 per night

Tariffs are based on 2 adults, each extra person over 5 is £5 per night.

Hook Ups are £2.50 per night.

Any more questions?

Indeed. The lovely civic centre seen in the film has been demolished as well, and replaced with an Asda, let alone the factories.:)

I can't seem to get a translation of this out of google translate. Have you been on the moonshine again, Baz? :D

I too tried Google translate and got this:

"braw moon light not not break the"

It thought it was translating from German!

Evening

I have been over to the campsite today to sort things out with Charles, the guy that runs it. As Swampster has pulled out, we're back down to 10. The campsite is quite big, and there is an area that is going to be set aside for us that has 8 hook ups, and there are more available for those who haven't already asked. As it is a half term, they might have more people booking in, but it will really be just us and at the moment about 3 other caravans.

So, I will be emailing all of you who are turn planning to come, so I can get a better picture of when everyone is arriving etc and what we all want.

Evening all from Sunny Budapest :)

Went over to farm on Thursday, and confirmed everything with site owner. Good news is there are plenty of hook ups, and I have provisionally reserved 8 for the weekend that are in a small group for Friday/Saturday night. When you arrive you will need to book in yourselves. They are expecting around a dozen Commers, though with the latest count we are down by a few.

I have sent everyone confirmation emails, which I have mostly had replies to. So, at the moment we are:

1. Thowman
2. Baz
3. Martin M
4. Panky
5. Hazel (TBC)
6. Mr & Mrs Booth
7. Colin & Helen
8. Daytona (TBC)

Anyone else, please get in touch if your interested.
