Funster special Interest Staycations

[Jim]

We need some activity groups, where we can meet in fields or on sites and enjoy the activity. We don't need anything too formal, just relaxed get-togethers with people who share a common interest

• A Motorcycle Group maybe, where a group turn up and camp somewhere and get out on a ride or two
• A Walking Group, meet up on sites and rally fields for some walks
• A Photography group can set up on a site or field near a town, say Chester and photograph the hell out of it. Teach each other about photography and gear, then show off their photos back here.
• Knitting and Crochet
• Cycling. obvious
• Canoeing. Rally near water
• Skiing.
• Ukelele and or Guitar group
• Dog Lovers, a rally near a great dog walking areas

Over to you, motorhomes are for getting out and having fun in. You just need to commit.
If there is interest I will set a special forum area and you can crack on and organise some fun. Who's up for it, and what would you like to do?

How about cookery and all things foodie ?

[Jimbohorlicks]

Wine tasting?

Edit

Or do we do that anyway?

 

[SpeedyDux]

Knitting and crochet is right up the Duxette's street.

[I can't knit but I am a yarn colour consultant and top male fashion model especially for beanie hats.]

Excellent Idea.

How about having one of these and everyone cooks their own favourite dish when away in MH, and makes enough for everyone to taste / try,
Most of mine are one pot based usually in a wok on the cadac, with either rice or pasts cooked separately and mixed in. but coyld be a BBQ or anything each one likes to cook.
Would make for a very interesting evening
I'm up for it,
Got a field anyone, I will ask around Bury St. Edmunds, if any interest here.

[Gaston aires]

As above. I love cooking as long as there’s wine drinking involved.

Not so much wine, but a good single malt or two to finish the evening off !!

 

[Janine]

Maybe 'craft' weekends led by different people with individual skills?

Wood carving, rug making, painting, leatherwork etc - suitable for both men and ladies.

 

[Downsie]

As my van arrives in 11 days time (not that I’m counting!) sounds great. My canine companion would love some walks

John would be up for this one me
Like the idea of these thanks Jim

 

[Itsmcb]

Great idea
Skiing would be my number 1 choice, that's always better with a mixed group. Then walking definitely, cycling definitely ( preferably off road) and the dog is always up for a walk

 

[Wombles]

Like the idea of special interest groups on the forum & these groups could also easily come along to existing Fun meets & rallies as well as organise their own Hopefully if they have spaces (maybe at the last minute) they would welcome Funsters that don't necessarily hold the same interests but could benefit from camping with them too.

 

[movan]

Sounds good Jim especially if in a field and so those of us on a very limited budget could afford to come. I've just used a month's allocation up on four nights, so looking for reasonably priced meeting places. Quackers looks like a possible enue for perhaps ukele/guitar staycation.. Can we come if we want to just singalong, please?

May I add to suggestion a Book Club meet.. Bring your books to sell/exchange... Possibly all read one paragraph from our favourite book.. and those who don't like it have to take a shot glass. each time.

 

[AJM2]

Nice idea. re photography, I think there's been a lot of interest shown when a member puts up wildlife photo's so perhaps instead of, or perhaps in addition to, a site near a town we choose a site near a nature reserve, zoo, sanctuary etc

[Swifter]

Air riffle club please Jim

 

[cliffanger]

Wood carving, rug making, painting, leatherwork etc - suitable for both men and ladies.

How about crafting weekends with acoustic music accompaniment....

Crochet Funsters will remember my attempts .....

And believe you me, that was a serious question .....

 

[Hils and Glenns]

Fishing?

 

[funflair]

I am hoping to do something at Shrewsbury to coincide with the "family vintage show" 3-4 July, we have done it before as a Fun event and hopefully people have enjoyed it, the showground have their own fishing rights and a bit of canoeing could be incorporated as well.

I would be happy for other interested groups to hijack the event and have their own knitting crocheting or foodie get togethers Robert Clark

We should be in Germany at that time for the MORELO open but not really sure if that is going to happen so we will have to make up our minds.

 

[CutThroatJake]

Sounds fantastic, unfortunately the delivery date for our MH has been put back until the end of July.

Going forwards Mrs CTJ and I would be interested in wine, gin and most other alcoholic beverages, food and dogs

Dog group (NB not dogging ) wold be awesome!

I think it would get members to get together who are not generally attracted to shows or more general rallies.

Probably too many Shih Tzu’s on the Forum for a dogging group Mind you we’ve all already got the face masks, what other equipment do you reckon would be required?

 

[dryad]

Fishing?

was just about to say the same but you beat me to it..

the other thing was dog training/socialising/agility, but thats already been mentioned..

and painting/landscapes/portrait/ but probably not nudes..

[fullfat]

How about How to Repair / Replace Meet?
Someone may have an Air filter replaced or say, Radio/ Dash cam replaced by Willing Funsters, there are lots of talented folk on here.

Being as useful as a chocolate fireguard I would be all over this one - great idea

Would not consideration need to be made to ‘the other half’.
Nothing worse than sitting through something you’re not too interested in when the other is all over it.

Just chatting to SWMBO - not interested in a rally for a rally's sake but would be totally up for a special interest get together - especially with the dog.

 

[Speve]

Bird and wildlife watching there are plenty of reserves around and some accommodate motorhomes If asked nicely?

 

[MisterB]

Star gazing/telescope group?

 

[Otter Spotter]

Wildlife and photography for me
