T6F Summer Camp 2021 (16-18 July 2021)

[Tourershine]

Although I don't mind if you want to use pitch A5 if that suits you best, the pitch numbers are only allocated for the offices benefit on these types of huge gatherings, not really as a literal instruction. I know that sounds odd, but because some have booked around us directly with the site, it's a logistical nightmare for me trying to please those who booked through us, but requested power also through us, but we should be OK with the careful use of splitters.

@Jlo

This weather forecast has now changed . No clouds on Saturday

 

[Tourershine]

That reminds me, if you do have a splitter and don't mind if it's used by yourself and who ever else is sharing it, can you please remember to bring it with you. We have 15 official outlets, which we can split, giving us 30 and maybe a few more, which should be enough for those that definitely need power.

I'm not wedded to that pitch & I'm happy to share. I'll be there on Thursday early PM. Only thing I like to avoid is the flag monsters with the all night flapping nightmares . That pitch means they cant sneak in behind me.

Surprisingly with my new batteries and solar i may not need power

Sorry @Mick That wasn't directed at you, more a point of how difficult my job can get when 70 plus vans have 70 plus different wants and needs, all arriving on different days at different times.

Gin will be the order of my day by the end of it.

Mate: Never saw it as a dig at me. When are you arriving cos I can help with the logistics.

I will be there Wednesday anyway, so at the beginning. I like to do my greet thing and establish what people want. Some people are really easy, some need a little more fettling to get right, but I'm sure we will get it sorted.

Finally got round to getting my number plate for the stay, made up.
Greta is happy as she says its biodegradable and should be composted adequately by the time she reaches her 12th birthday.

See you all soon! Will travel up on Friday, should take about 4 hours... Can anyone comment on the auto-route google gave me... any local knowledge about what might be a bad/good/better route.. cheers!

Oh, and if it matters, I don't think I will bother bringing tent/awning/gazeebo.. just the van, and a couple of chairs!

I live local. M5-A46 through Alcester - Stratford on avon-M6-A14-A5199 through Welford turn right. Jobs a good un. There is a better route but it's a bugger to explain via A426 Rugby cutting out most of Coventry and the M6 on a Friday. But if you turn down the A45 from the A46 south of Coventry the sat nav should then sort you out.

If I was a copper, I would do him for a British Standard number plate that complies to:

SKEIN......A flock of T6 buses heading down (or up) the motorway in V formation to Sibbertoft ?

 

[Sabre]

Nah. Environmentally considerate and not wasting paper no-one will actually see cos we all put window screens up!

Nice one @Sackmycook

What time are you passing Chesterfield?
Maybe we could travel South to Brook Meadows together to make up a T6 Skein formation?

Can see you guys being popular on the roads.

If we get another 2 buses we could have a 4-Skein

We are heading down on Saturday morning, Friday work commitment

Had a word with Mrs moomin-j - she does not like the idea of a 4-Skein!!

Bugger, we are travelling late Friday afternoon, after picking up young moomin-j from school.

Work commitments - I thought you had retired?

 

[Sackmycook]

Working for Her Majesty is a bit like Hotel California....save me a pitch next to the Moomin-J clan, we are camping virgins and need some guidance on protocols

Guidance on protocols?

1. Drive to the site in a V type Skein formation
2. Set up your awning / BBQ stuff / flagpole / dream LEDs etc
3. Get a cold beer from the fridge
4. Open the cold beer that you have just got from the fridge
5. Drink that cold beer that you have just got from the fridge
6. Chat to other T6 folk about 'owt that matters
7. Congregate around the evening camp fires, listening to @Dellmassive 's disco inferno (music to suit all tastes)
8. Repeat numbers 3 through to 6

Just enjoy the weekend & make some new friends along the way

What's not to like?

But... please do not forget the 50% reduction rule when talking Vw purchases in front of the female folk though!
