BDB: What time people are getting there?

[G]

Ideally we all want to meet in the que, failry early if possible.

Space is allocated on a first come first served basis, however you can not try and get some unfilled space a bit further back.

When people start to be let in, they have square 'pens' which they fill up, then let people through to the next one. This means we ideally want to be first into a 'pen' so we can grab as much space as possible, before it geets too clogged up.


So, who's going to be getting there on Thursday, at middayish times if possible?

[Stew]

Well, I think us northerners are aiming to get there for about 2pm (gates open time) although we could always set off a bit earlier to try and get in with everyone else. What time did gates open last year? We all got there quite early didnt we?

[Ste]

It opens 2pm

I was looking at maps last night, as was phoe, and the nearest petrol station seems to be in stratford upon avon which seems to be one big one way system which would be a reciepe for everyone getting lost

I can find a church or something on the main road/ one of the nearby villages we could meet at maybe?

[kev]

[Ste]

I was waiting for that

[kev]

so shall i bring a shovel or will you have enough??

the more the merrier

[G]

Errr... why meet up beforehand?

Why not at the worst case meet up there. There's plenty of space to sit at the side and wait for people. And it's a place everyone is going to have to know how to get to.

Or we can just get in the queue and let people in as they arrive (everyone was doing this, so not a major prob).

If possible it might be worth us getting there a bit earlier. That way we can get a place closer to the stages etc.

[kev]

does this mean you have stopped making excuses and your actually coming?

The enterance into Bdb is a pretty huge area of land.
If we were planning to meet, we may as well just do it at the enterance.

[Korn]

Hmmm, I can see myself having a problem finding this haggle of tents at 10pm

[Viper]

You're all completely barmy!

...Hmmm...and the flag is currently very pole-less, as they were destroyed at RnB.
I better sort that too i suppose.

...Or we could just sent hobit Ste up the nearest electrical pylon, so he can attach it to that.

We most probably have spare Gazebo poles

Also some spare (flexible) tent poles lying around.

[Danny]

Can I suggest that we attach some string/rope to it so it does not go limp so easily. I have attached an advanced CAD diagram

[Viper]

Nice one Danny-boy!
Its reassuring to know that you use you saterday mornings constructively.

And yes. Thankyou. Thats just reminded me that we need a few guy ropes.
Will sort something.

My theory. The ropes were indeed called 'guide' ropes, but as the Cub scouts couldn't bear the thought that the Girl Guides had come up with the idea, they decided on the more manly name of 'Guy' ropes when constructing their tents.

I suppose its just this life-long game of Chinese whispers.
I'm not too sure what they are called, or how you spell it.
But Guy sounds about right. So that will just have to do for now.

I will be there quite late unfortunately so I will be playing catchup on the old booze once I get there

Finish work at 6 so I should be there for 8 assuming all goes well. I have a space in zims tent so I shouldn't need any space reserving.

cheers
