We are pleased to formally announce, our 2nd attempt at the long awaited first.....
WEEKENDER IN THE WOODS...2/3/4 July 2010.......
A chance for Foggers from far and wide to come down, to have some fun in our woods, drink some beer and have blinding weekend with the SE posse...
Camping will be in the woods itself, not in a field somewhere miles away...
We were gutted when the great British weather kinda stuffed us on the Feb weekender,...but this one is gonna more than make up for it!!!..
Arrivals from 3pm Friday....Departure by 6pm Sunday....
Cost per car and driver for either day £20...
Cost per car and driver for both days £35...
Cost per adult visitor (other than the driver of a car participating) £5 per day...
Cost for camping FREE...
Cost for arriving friday afternoon/evening £5 per adult
Please be assured that Sally and I do not organise these events to earn money, the proceeds from the events cover the rent of the land and maintaining it, and materials we need to buy for everyone to use...if any extra is raised it will go towards developing the site further for everyones enjoyment and for stuff for everyone attending to use...
The FOG-BOG will be there....we have cut another entrance into the woods which we are sure the caravan will be able to handle....the grading of the original entrance, whilst making it flatter, is going to be too tight to contemplate, but is now much easier for 4x4's...
The FOG-BOG is for female 1's and 2's and male 2's....trees are for male 1's!!!
The FOG-B-Q will be there, we get in a load more charcoal for the weekender, and a supplies list will be put up nearer the date...
Please consider when adding names to the supplies list that we will looking to cater for everyone on the list for 2 lunches and 1 evening + 1 breakfast...
I am going to suggest that the members coming down friday night bring their own supplies for that night and brekky in the morning...
If you have pledged to bring stuff down, then it is imperative that you let me know if you cant make it for any reason in good time, so we can source the additional things we will need...
Campers please ensure that you bring torches as its gets really dark in the woods at night!
Water containers, deck chairs, camping lights, would be handy if anyone has any they can bring along...
Driving will not be permitted in the camping area or it will get all churned up...it will be clearly marked...
Caravan parking will be right next to the woods, but probably not in the woods...(100yds away thats all, in a really nice grassy field just the other side of the entrance track)...If owners wish to try and get a caravan into the woods they do so at there own risk, personally I would suggest it might be slippy and risk of damage too great at the moment, but we will try and improve this further by July...(the FOG-BOG will get in there somehow though!!!)Best bet would be to have a look when you get there and make your call
Camping positions will be allocated on arrival based on the number of tents/vans coming so as to make best use of the space and to ensure good safe access is maintained...
Drinking and driving will NOT be permitted in the woods...if we do a nightime excursion, anyone who appears at all intoxicated to me will be excluded, no arguments...
There may be some laning for 6pm start on saturday...duration probably a couple of hours...all routes will be recce'd first, so no surprises and any need for permits advised well in advance...I will do a separate thread for the laning nearer the time, to keep things less muddled
We are planning some competitions too...£5 entry fee...the pot split between winner and the most dramatic moment all for a bit of fun....(I will sit it out to make it fair though!!!!
)And possibly some surprise stuff for everyone....that I think ya gonna love...cameras to the ready...FOG.co.uk be ready for bulk avatar pickie changes on the 5th July!!!!
Directions to get to the woods will be pm'ed to all attending nearer the time....
Please indicate in the list below...
The days you are coming....(ie..fri pm, sat, sun)
Whether you are camping...if so tent or caravan (so we can plan the space) and number of tents...
Whether you will be getting your fronty muddy or are visiting, and number of people in your party...
Its gonna be a blinder, our first weekender of many I hope...
Look forwards to seeing you all down here...
