Pitch TOU049 booked for Zena. All the other pitches are apparently now taken. I had to speak to the bookings manager who confirmed that the 'deal' has expired and we've had to pay full whack. Apparently, no-one has electric which I wasn't aware of!

Funsters who are booked on pitches 23 to 31 are going to be moved nearer the marquee
as we are quite spread out due to the number of original pitches reserved for us.

New pitch numbers will be posted soon

Hope you dont mind being a little nearer the fun

Yorick I dont have you on the booking list? Ive just spent an hour on the telephone with them. Have I missed you off the list? what pitch number have they given you?

Use this map

http://www.waldegraves.co.uk/images/waldegraves-map-pop.jpg

We are near the fishing lakes


The marquee will be near pitch 48 which has been allocated so we can use the electric from that pitch.

Funsters will be on pitch 41 to 54 and 32 to 40.

This gives us a "square" around the marquee and pitches facing the marquee, so that people dont have to carry food and drink too far :thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

I keep forgetting to check with SWMBO, but will sort summat out :Smile:

I am booking my pitch this week.

I survived my encounter with Dawn B at Peterborough, she hunted me down like a wounded animal having got my reg. number. Had barely switched off ignition and she was there!
I must say that Dawn is not a bit like the ogre and old dragon like the image she portrays.
She is warm and kind and a very lovable individual.

Yours
