how about maidstone? then i won't have to camp.                                                                                                                                                                                

oops, forgot to say i enjoyed friskney and would have no problem going back. i have yet to see photographic proof of the rabbit though.                                                                                                                                                                              

Option 2 sounds good to me.                                                                                                                                                                              

The rabbit was definately there XJ, as were the parrots; lol. Can't prove it but I saw them sober; lol.   ZZR what do you mean more music? The size of the room I can understand but there was live music both nights. Not sure when else I can arrange music for!   I've already looked at a spring camp but others have already covered this and I believe something is already being planned by another BMer in this regard.                                                                                                                                                                             

 hi hun soz not sure what i meant with the more muzic ooopz lol.no was just the size of the room felt like i was sat in their laps.but a bigger venue would be excellent and as said option to bring own beer/food etc                                                                                                                                                                              

Looks like your getting some surport for option 2. so I think you need to sort out when the Kiss Rally is and try not to get them too close together trobles is there are so meny rallys now you are limited to end of the year                                                                                                                                                                             

I know JP. I've got to check the probable new venue out yet but from speaking to them I think it will be ok.  Certainly from the camping area it's good, but need to speak to them face to face.
I always try to do the Autumn Camp a month after Kiss but I don't know what's happening with that at the moment. Can't go too much later than I already do as it would be too cold for most to camp, although I did bring it forward by a couple of weeks this year.   No probs ZZR. It was a bit cramped in there this year I must admit.                                                                                                                                                                             

  Simon, if you find a venue that has indoor accommodation it won't matter what month it's in.   Waits for the rollocking from hardy campers lol                                                                                                                                                                                

i liked the venue....but then im a lazy cow who doesnt make her own brews and prefer to sit in the warm and drink my beer.   as to the field which i camped on.....ok so the grass was a bit long but ive camped on worse "campsites" at least it wasnt a mud bowl.   yes ok the room with the band was small but its better than being huge and empty.   would prefer to stick to Plan A but if you can find somewhere equally decent then im happy to be converted to plan b                                                                                                                                                                             

I have been once before had a good time . Yes the room is small but still had a good time. My only problem was the god damn birds !!!!

Nice to try new things though . So lets doit . Try something new .xx                                                                                                                                                                             

had any ideas on this yet Simon                                                                                                                                                                             

Yes Bill, I'm working on it mate. Will have more info soon                                                                                                                                                                             

any info yet Simon                                                                                                                                                                             

Not yet mate. I need a date for Kiss before I can confirm anything as I run this a month later.                                                                                                                                                                             

are we having a KISS this year, its looking a bit iffy to me                                                                                                                                                                             

xj, no prob to sort out a Spring camp down south...pub where we did 40s weeekend say no probs to use field whenver as we so well behaved! OR may be able to speak to the owner of Little Switz Fstone...he may let us in pre season as Ive known him fer yrs..BUT of course it wil be jus us Southerners cause rarely does anyone who lives South of London venture this way...                                                                                                                                                                             

i went down there once                                                                                                                                                                             

i take your point andy, they may get lots of people on their meets but they don't travell far do they? at least us soft southerners have attended a few of their rallies and get togethers now.                                                                                                                                                                                

You are struggling if people who live south of London can,t even be bothered
