FOG Annual Meet 2014 details.

[Drift]

Hello people!!!
Well its the time of year that the annual meet has been organised for the 2nd 3rd 4th May 2014.
This year will be the use of a caravan site near Bala. http://tyisafbala.co.uk/

We will have a lot of green laning organised or you can organise your own and there will be links to other amenities that can be done by you lucky campers.
There are Hot Showers and clean toilets close to all the pitches and a play area for children, they also have exclusive fishing rights to there part of the River Dee.
Please check out their web site.
http://tyisafbala.co.uk/

We have secured 8 Tent pitches with electric hook up and possibly 10 caravan pitches.

This year we need your payments up front as these pitches have to have confirmed bookings and be paid for outright.
If this is not done we will loose some of the pitches, as this is the first bank holiday of May and they do get busy, these all need to be paid for by the first week of January 2014, obviously the sooner the better!
If people wish to stay for longer they can pay Chris when they arrive.
Wynn & Chris are extremely good host's and made our stay very pleasant.

The prices are:-
Adult £5 per night
Child £2 per night
Electric hookup £4 per night
BBQ £10

So for example a family of 4 for 3 days it would cost:-
2x adults £30
2x Children £12 (under 10)
Electrics £12
BBQ£10
Total £64

We will have the obligatory raffle and plenty to do. Also those that wish to do a Pay & Play site Bala Off-Road Site is 5 minutes away. We will find out the cost of that for you!!!
Here is a site you might want to take a look at gives loads of options for things to do and then back to the camp site for the evening banter:-

We are looking forward to your bookings and hope to see you all there!!!!!

I thought you were going to try and get further north this time bud?

[Drift]

Its 150 miles more North than last year

[Wilberforce]

Maybe not quite that far further North, and a good bit further West, but still.

It's probably about the same distance from your gaff to Bala as it for me Keith, and possibly an easier trip; once you're on the M74 it's motorway all the way to Ellesmere Port and then an A-road will take you all the rest of the way to Bala.

[bobbinsjob]

Woohoo count us in no matter what. Better start saving fuel money now as we'll be going East Coast to West coast but wouldn't miss it for the world. Never have and never will

[Wilberforce]

Serious question here Ste, and worth adding to the main post I reckon so it doesn't get lost in chatter...

What's the site policy on dogs??

[Andytats Boss]

Jim

dogs are welcome but must be kept on leads at all times on site as there are livestock in adjacent fields

[snapper]

Phew... So I just need to get a lead then ......

[4x4 bobby]

No you'll be ok Frank your to old to chase sheep!!!!!!

[Loneranger]

This could be one hell of a convoy of trucks and caravans.........lol

[4x4 bobby]

Normally is Pete!!!

[Forbidme]

Think its worth tagging along too?

[snapper]

Think its worth tagging along too?

Tis a bit early sorting out convoys but your welcome to follow... convoys normally sorted about two, maybe three weeks before (or was that hours last year?)

And yes, it's well worth coming.

[road_rescue]

looks good to me- Her in doors wants to come too, so count us in- will be great to talk to some Fronty people, rather than the normal Landrover sorts (I am a recovering landrover addict too...)

[4x4 bobby]

Nice one mate get your name down on the list and keep your eyes peeled for the ways to pay which we are trying to sort as we speak !!!!!!

Regards bobster.

[Pete_smith]

30 to 45 min away from me
I don't think il be staying as i have a lot on but will meet up with everyone at the pay and play

[vauxsqueeks]

Not sure if I missed this but is there a Paypal or something set up to pay camping fees yet?

The first week of January is only 5 weeks away now and I am going to be broke again for another month very soon and I am running out of paydays!!

To check :

Camping 3 X £5 per night X 2 for myself & minisqueeks = £30
Electric 3 X £4 =£12
BBQ = £10
Total = £52 ?

[4x4 bobby]

Not as yet. Drifty has got to get to the bank to do the final paper work then i will post the ways to pay!

[steve 1967]

[Drift]

How do you mean?
Bed and Breakfast?
There are loads in Bala and within a couple of miles of the site
