If we’re not too late, we’d also be interested in the June dates Looks fantastic! x

Email sent this morning, hopefully I’ll hear back from my friend at some point this week (they decide everything by consensus so it may take a few days!)

might well be interested for Jubilee weekend - I’m taking my driving test tomorrow so will have the freedom to drive there even if OH isn’t up for it ...  could I let oyu know nearer the time?

Much love x

I would be up for either time.

Ok, so I have been busily exchanging emails!

We are on for the June 2nd long weekend and it should be a flat cost of £40 per family. Basically, they charge per tent rather than per person. That will include some firewood, for cooking over, but if we use lots we may be asked for a £5 top up per family. It might also include the marquee, but I’m in negotiations on that one!

So, i am going to get final confirmation of costs from Crabapple, then I will be asking for definite bookings and a £10 deposit per family.

Questions for you all…as I am organising the basic stuff would anyone like to offer themselves to lead/provide stuff for activities in case of rain?
Are you all ok with everyone organising their own food? I don’t want to give myself too much work to do with organising communal meals!
I’ll set a deadline for money as the first week in May, giving me plenty of time to chase people if necessary, sound reasonable?

sounds fab, we are just checking out dates but sounds fab xx

Sounds brilliant, thank you so much for organising this far

Marquee would be wonderful just incase of rain, I think for us organising our own food would be best, maybe we could make one evening a bbq but each bring our own stuff just eat together if that makes sense?

It would be lovely to be able to have a fire of an evening, topping up 5.00 for firewood sounds good   Is the field suitable for bikes, probably bung the balance bike in the boot.

Very excited as I wasn’t sure if we would go camping this year.

yes I think we would do our own food too. What are the general plans…having never been before I was wondering what goes on, anything goes or some organised happenings??????? Am very excited too giving me something to look forward too x

We are tentatively interested, but it’s a bit of a trek for us. I’ll let you know if that’s OK?

That’s fabulous news. Thank you so much Clare for organising this.
Am happy to bring some communal ,tea,coffee or some such if that would help.

Thanks for organising this Clare. I’ve just seen this thread of discussion after seeing the follow up. I’ve just sent you an email as I want to book. Look forward to meeting you there , Hugs, Bianca
