[dasjoe]

* hajo raises hand.

as i'll sleep at stansted all suggested times are fine for me.
but it's not yet 100% sure that i'll make it at all.

[monkey0506]

Just a question:  Where exactly do these meetings take place?

I'd like to go, but I don't think that's possible if it's where I think it is... :

[scotch]

It says in the first post... at a camp site near Staines.

[magintz]

I'll be staying for the 7 days aswell, and will volunteer as a guide should anyone want a trip to London.

[Renal Shutdown]

If we do go to London, I'll be needing a guide.

[m0ds]

Well, space is getting tight ! No more sign-ups for now, I need to assess the situation. Scotch says 26 are expected, I count 12 completed sign-ups so far. If you haven't emailed me but are expecting to go please email me. ^_^

Stick me on the reserve list - i'll more than likely be there.

Okay, the latest NEED TO KNOW INFORMATION on Brittens!!

The campsite is BOOKED for FRI 1st - 4th JULY.

HOWEVER, they have alloted us "5 NIGHTS", so we can effectivley stay until Tuesday, which can also be EXTENDED if we decide and they agree to it.

The price per person is £5 per night (this is a one pound increase from previous years, but I'm told it's their FIRST price increase since 1997, which is when Screen 7 was founded, so thats all good!! )

So if you stay 1st - 4th it will cost you £15 to camp.
So if you stay 1st - 5th it will cost you £20 to camp.
So if you stay 1st - 6th it will cost you £25 to camp.

They have been told that up to 20 people will attend and they are making allowance for us to have 10-15 tents.

When you arrive, if that is before me - tell them my surname and they will place you in the right area. The booking is under "Lovegrove" and although the lady on the phone recognised the name, she didn't remember the name "Brittens" So that won't get you in!

A map of the location of the campsite is available here

[magintz]

Excellent, should be good, can't wait. Hope I get to meet lots of new AGSers.

p.s - i'm sure if you tell the lady your with the computer nerds she'll know what your on about

[Haddas]

Why, am I not on the list? I want to know why I'm not on the list! There better be a good explanation for me not being on the list!

[Ishmael]

There are a couple of things for me to ensure, and I'll know for sure by next friday or earlier if I can come... Will that be too late? :\

[m0ds]

You're added, Haddas... A space is also reserved for Ishmael. That pushes us up to 21, which is fine.

If you WANT to come and haven't signed up but think you are able, please DO still email me. It may be negotiable.

If anyone drops out I'll let you know here in this thread, but if they don't, perhaps I'll see the rest of you in Greece?

[Renal Shutdown]

Hexie bailed? I must mourn..

[Layabout]

I dont have a tent. Who is willing to give me a space in theirs. If all goes crazy I'll sleep in a car, after much protest.

Or just buy a tent...

Damn, I need a sleeping bag too! poobungies...

[Meowster]

Oh yeah, what is the tent situation? Who is bringing tents, and whatnot? I think I shall be bringing a four-man tent with 'guy lines'. Then there's a big tent apparently, although this may or may not have 'guy lines'.

PS. What are 'guy lines'?

[Haddas]

My tent broke down 2 years ago. I think. I kinda forgot to take it down once when I was camping in the woods. it was pretty decomposed when I finally went to check on it

[Privateer Puddin']

guy lines are pieces of string/rope that go from the tent into the ground that, i guess hold the tent there, and straighten the top waterproof layer ¬¬

i should have a 3 man tent with me, while it is official 3 man, i think if it was needed, you could get 4 people in there, i also have a double airbed for comfort :p

i might have one of those one man tent thingies also, but we could use that for bags / food / whatver

[Ishmael]

Hmm... Is there any kind of list of things suggested to bring along? I can't think of anything else than a sleeping bag and some money for the expenses... is there anything else vital?
