Woosie Club

[Hutch]

Let us know if you manage a special offer and we will, book a serviced pitch as well. Looking forwards to meeting up again.

And let’s have a rest from FC and let our hair down :kiss:

Maybe Maybe not, dogs had a good walk to the pub this afternoon, rewarded with a bag of Porky scratchings.

 

[Mel]

Probably wood thorps leisure park in Norfolk. See King Gabs post on the previous page for the link. Bit hazy on the date. Is it Thursday 13th Sept??? (Old too)
Mel

Mel is there something in the Derbyshire water we don’t know about B)

Its the lack of Derbyshire water in the glass.

Saturday night is the 15th.Sept. -- as many days as you like either side of that. -- Shall aim for the fest on that night .(Unless there are any objections?) :woohoo:

 

[Anseo]

I have made a diary entry for the fest, really hope nothing gets in the way, it's a little too far off to make a definite booking, but (provisionally) I intend to be there, Norfolk isn't too far relatively speaking, early start and have time left in order to get plastered organised before the aperitifs are served.

 

[Hutch]

Sir Haggis it would be good if you can get down for it , a lovely informal and fun weekend or week as some of the other Woosies do. Jus t a good time to put faces to names.

 

[Dustydog]

Hey you Woosies. Unless my map is wrong it’s not Norfolk :woohoo:
But for Sir Haggis it’s easier. Lincolnshire :cheer: :cheer:

Thank you DD, I suppose getting the wrong county 'wrong' is only to be expected for woosie-fest meetings .

I have never been to Norfolk or Lincolnshire, with my navigation skills I will most likely visit both, I think I would enjoy seeing a little of both anyhows,

All I need to do now is work out the ferry routes and schedules, nothing slow about me ?.

I fear I may have damaged my credentials as a Woosie by making a pretty perfect job of reversing onto the pitch last Saturday when the motor mover had packed up.

Sometimes I wish there was a much greater selection of smileys to choose from :evil:

Cheers for that your Kingliness.

Around 330 miles from home to destination, would be making a 7am start, I'll hitch up the night before I leave, hopefully do the trip in 8.5 hours including for a lunch break.

Anyone know of any good places to pull in with the caravan just south of Penrith area?

 

[Gabsgrandad]

Avoiding expensive M/way services, there are some good lay bys and road side mobile cafes in them along the A66 plenty of pull ins for caravans, we generally use them. (and I'm not a Scot!)

You did it with your eyes shut

We will be there to watch you pitch up and offer a beer or dram of welcome.

Now that is a nice gesture , I won't spoil your fun by using the motor mover.

No peeping through curtains though, just form a guffawing cheering crowd beside the pitch.

 

[Gabsgrandad]

Shall be visiting http://woodthorpeleisurepark.com/ to sort/negotiate the fest, next w/e. Can Woosies (or anyone else for that matter) give me some idea who may be attending the fest (Over the w/e of 15/09/18) so i can talk approximate numbers with them and hopefully sort booking conditions. Would be appreciated, thanks.

Tebay services south of Penrith are good for a stop. A good standard of food too. They have just opened a pair near to Gloucester much to chagrin of Moto et al.
