We are pleased to formally announce, our 2nd.....
WEEKENDER IN THE WOODS...24th/25th/26th Sept 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...
After the success of the July weekender we are sure that this one can be bigger and better...!!!..
We are gonna try and do another digger weekend before this event, so there will be loads more new stuff to play on...
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 again....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 will need loads of charcoal, 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 september...(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...
Rules...
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...
Litter will be taken home...
No open fires...other than the camp fire which must remain sensible in size...
No irresponsible behaviour which is deemed (by the landowner, by me or someone assigned by me), a hazard to anyone (yourself &/or others)...
5mph speed limit on site for safety reasons...
5 mph speed limit through farm yard and past horses in fields...
No loud stereos, sounding horns, or noisy behaviour near the farm or animals or anywhere in site...
No entering prohibited areas as determined by the landowner and me...
No cutting of trees or wood without my permission...
Children/ dogs to be kept under control and with parents/owners at all times
FOG members and family only, unless I have agreed it prior to the event...
These are the rules...only attend if you accept them, you will be required to sign prior to entrance that you agree.
Should anyone choose to venture into the woods in their vehicle,the landowner or I will not be held responsible for any injury/damage or loss whatsoever...
There may be some laning for 6pm start on saturday...duration probably a couple of hours if someone wants to organise it...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 and the digger fund...all for a bit of fun....(I will sit it out to make it fair though!!!!
)Directions to get to the woods will be pm'ed to all attending nearer the time....

The days you are coming....(ie..fri pm, sat, sun)
