BAZ Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 The site has said if we book the twenty pitches with EHU's, or close to it, we have the entire site and they will close it to anyone other than us. We are half way there. Studfold are very enthusiastic about this and are looking if things work out, they are looking to make this an annual event. Again we would be able to control things and they would not let any muggles on. This would lead to the site blacking out the whole site other than real safety issues.

Allan the Plumber Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Have both the pods gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Have both the pods gone? I think 1 has been taken Allan, best check at time of booking as I can only go by what people have told me they have booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckstar Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I'm booked in on 26 from Friday till Monday. Only 7 others have booked so far we need more to get the field to ourselves. FYI, Bookings only by PayPal or cheque. No card payments over the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Daz yeah being lazy with camping option. I wouldn't want to take one if Doc needed it, I know you've mentioned that due to medical conditions both Doc and Phil would be best in these Pods and could be the difference in whether they go and I see Phil's booked one already I would want to take it and stop Doc going Just working on wife to see if I can go she's a bit miffed i'm going to Kelling for the best part of a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philjay Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Yes Allan Ive booked Pod 2. I am camping in the van for Kelling cos Im there for a week and once Im set up I can recover. However, 2 day events like this ones going to be for me is too much, therefore the pods are a godsend, flippin expensive though, but if its the choice between my going and not going Im willing to spend the extra on the pod. I only managed SGL this year because I was able to book a pod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats good you're going Phil, Daz mentioned that Doc ( if he went) would need a pod, I don't want to book the last one and stop him going. I'll have to wait, I'm also waiting on Damian to see if he wants to go half on a pod saving a bit. I'll PM Doc and see if he wants that last Pod ( still need to ask the missus if I can go lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of a star party is the social side, you get to meet and mingle with a group of people who share a similar hobby, it gets you away for the weekend, spend time with family and friends, and hopefully have a good time. Granted we are there to star gaze primarily but in this country, if we didn't at least try, we would always find an excuse not to go, the weather, the traffic, the weather...... So come on, book a couple days, who knows, the weather may even play ball and it could be fantastic, It's going to take me 3 hours to get there, I must be bonkers!!!!
