Hi Andy. The gazebo is 3mtr x 6mtr. We discust putting it in the corner wher the 2 Whooray Henry's put those 2 houses when we stayed. Chris has given us quite a large area. If you want to give me a ring one night i can talk it over with you mate. I can also e-mail you an allocation list so anyone that gets there before me you can place! :mrgreen: I haven't sorted any lighting as i thought you were sorting it. No worries ile see what i can come up with!

Cheers Bobster.

Suppose I better get organised still not sorted the clicking hubs from last year yet along with the two flat tires it's gained in the last month. Can't find where I put the bash plates and it smells like wet dog. But I have brought my beer already.

I found this out last year..
Just a heads up if your satnav takes you up the A5 past Shrewsbury then onto the B5396 be prepared ( especially if you are towing a caravan ) for a long tight & bendy drive with steep hill. It's a nicer drive on your clutch sticking to the A5 past the Corwen carwash then take the A494 to Bala. :D

Only six sleeps to go before we are on our way...........getting excited now. :D :D :D See yous all there.....or on the way. Going to take a left on to the B439xx road between Shrewsbury and Oswestry (no trailer), looks to be an interesting little run in. Will bring us in to the site from the east, knocks 12 miles off the A5 route.

:party: :party: :party:

Due to unforseen circumstances our good friend Neal (Ratcav) can't make the annual meet. He has kindley donated his caravan pitch to FOG. so if there is someone with a caravan who wants to attend we have a slot. Please let me know by Thursday dinner time if there is more than one person who wants it i will get the name pulled from a hat by chrissy.

I expect Ian will travel from Folkstone up M2, M25, M1, M6, A5. The obvious rew to link up with would be Gregster and the other "Men of Kent"

We'll be coming on to the M1 at Junction 15 about 12.15 on Friday, so we might catch a few or in all likelyhood be passed by a few more.

See yous all later
