Lostock May 2010 new moon

Before I Start: We are aware that this date coincides with the SPSP @ ilford but are arranging this as a quiet alternative for those not going to Ilford. Cost about $20/head (the more that go the cheaper it gets) for Thur, Fri, Sat night (arrive during the day thur leave late morning early afternoon Sunday)

Anybody interested can you let Geoffro (inmykombie) or myself know asap and we can fill you in with the particulars ( it is essentially a camping W'end but you can sleep in the house as it has about 20 beds). Bring your own food and beverages. Previous visits have been very casual and enjoyable.

We will be booking the site anyhow so let us know if you are interested. (no queuing for amenities)

my Contact number is 0411438858, you can PM Geoffro (and me also)

as if you could keep me away.

Upper or lower hut?

And I promise I wont buy anything new between now and then.
That should help with the weather gods.

(If we do this in May, probably wont want to go out West again in June I suppose)

You may have to work your magic and see if you can get onto your regular contact.

Hi Jacob,
Starting to worry because hadn't heard from you in a while.
Hope you can make it.

Have also heard of another camp about 3 kms from Paterson on the river. Owned by the girl guides assoc. An old school, might be worh looking at in future.

There are also 2 girl guide camps (with amenities) on the C/Coast: one at somesby and one at Central Mongrave. don't know how they would suit the monthly star party.
