Hey up what's this?
A bright yellow glowing ball in the clear blue sky. Caravan not out this weekend but just wheeled my other '2 wheeler' out for a 'blast', (some cobwebs to be blown away!) I know it's wet in some places (commiserations to those folks) but this side of the country we ain't done bad (YET) apart from the tidal surge down the east coast just before Christmas, (Badly affected about 8 miles away from us) but we ain't done bad how about you Woosies?.

We had terrible weather in the West Midlands on Friday and Saturday with heavy rain and strong winds, we started off this morning clear and bright but the grey clouds have rolled in now, roll on summer!
Cracking the flags up here .....still a bit windy but, ... just power washed all of the green algi / slime that had built up on the concrete over the last month .... never seen as much in years ...
no rain here for the 2nd day in a row!! Beautiful sunshine yesterday, and a rain free drive home from the midlands on Saturday. The trench foot appears to clearing up, and the duck boards are visible! Not sure about the van - it's in storage and the owners can't get a tractor on to the land to check - all we know is that it's still there, thankfully with a cover!

It occurs to me that we have some new members of this PC forum who may be wondering what the Woosie Club is about and don't have the time or energy to read the drivel erudite postings of the last 196 pages. In brief, we are a group of vanners united by an aversion to emptying the toilet cassette and similarly unpleasant caravanning tasks. We enjoy ale, food, ale, a quiz and ale. King WC (Woodlands Camper) is our leige Lord this year. The rest of us are knights and ladies. This would be apparent from our purple signatures if the excuse for an IT system that runs this forum was working.
Membership is simple, join in and declare your own caravan related Woosiness and someone will propose and second you. The Woosies are meeting at the PC rally at Stowford and then at Wheathill (Shrops) this year.

I read through a couple of pages of Woosie-club stuff Mel, and my eyes started to glaze over......... However, from what I read I am sure I'd qualify for membership, being a confirmed arachnophobe, for a start. Neither do I like moths, daddy-long-legs or other creepy crawly things that make it their life's mission to scare your pants off. However, I have no hang-ups about emptying the loo, but if being as scatty as a basketful of bantams is a qualifying criteria, I'm yer girl!
I was a bit worried when reading about PC rallies. Flippin' 'eck, you'd be afraid of opening your mouth in case you offended someone! Then the penny dropped.... Ah! I thought, I still can't go on one, not being an officer of the law! Ok, I'm being silly now.......
So, am I a big enough woos to be a part of your Round Table? Even if it's only to get a look at Parksy's (bigger) Lightpole!

OK . Welcome Cyber Cynth. Anyone mad enough to show any interest in Parksy's Lightpole gets my vote.
I am therefore more than happy to propose you are invited to become a Woosie.
Once seconded we need to have a name.
Lady Cyber Cynth or what you wish. Now where's my jar of spiders. LOL.

Hiya Cynth,
I'll second you, cos' like you (I'm a bit of a phony Woosie really!) After nearly 40 years the 'chores' of vanning don't bother me really. Obviously If I had room for the 'butler' in the van then he could do these chores. The 'maid' comes however but she has never volunteered, (just checked she's not looking over my shoulder). By the way , have you noticed it's not a very good place to meet the gentler sex (Elsan emptying point) so I had assumed that they all had an aversion to this task.
However depending on the "King" welcome to the 'table'.

The annual Practical Caravan Rally at Stowford Farm Meadows is always worth a visit Cynth.
The actual rally lasts from Friday2nd May until Monday 6th, over the Bank Holiday weekend and costs £45 for a pitch with ehu on a very nice site with full facilities in North Devon, a lovely part of the world.
Various events take place including a quiz night, barn dance, live music and cream tea so you really get your money's worth and as an added bonus you can meet the team of writers who put together each issue of Practical Caravan Magazine.
Even better, you can book up to 14 extra nights (on the same pitch of course) for just £5 per unit per night including ehu, a real bargain break.
We're going from 29th April until 8th May and the holiday including the rally cost only £75, cheap as chips
I don't think that anyone is easily offended so don't worry, the rally is a great event where you can make new friends and meet friendly caravanners and motorhomers from all walks of life.
The Woosie meets are really friendly social gatherings with food, drink and great company.
I'm sure that you'll enjoy the Woosie meets, we're lucky enought to be invited as an honorary Woosies and this years Woosiefest is near to the beautiful historic market town of Ludlow and of course I'll be bringing my lightpole because it gets dark out in the countryside coming back from the pub.

Hi Cynth
You have now been proposed and seconded by loyal members of the Woosie Round Table. I can therefore bestow a title on you and call you Lady Cyber Cynth, if you accept that name. Let us know if you want something different. Welcome to the Woosie Round Table.
If you can attend the PCv rally then ask Lady Mel nicely and she will produce a nameplate for you to display at the rally and the woosiefest.
PS Parksy's lightpole is MUCH bigger than a big torch.
Maybe Parksy can do a brief light hearted synopsis of the Woosie Club in a sticky to save people reading through pages and pages of highly professional technical jargon. LOL!

To read a few pages forward from the start of the links just click on next
This was the Woosies first meet at Stowford Meadows ......
Then they met up again at Poston Mill .....

Thanks, Dustydog!
Name? How about Baroness Barmy and her dog Princess Wotamess (Mental image sent of Bearded Collie after walk in Very Muddy Field, as I haven't any photos of her in this state - thank goodness)
And if you come ANYWHERE NEAR ME with even ONE spider I will probably vomit all over you. You have been warned!

Is that you pictured on the 'bike? What is it? I used to ride a Suzuki GN250, but not being so flush these days (no pun intended on the lavatorial theme of this thread!) unfortunately I can't afford to run a bike and a car. Boo hoo.

Wow, sounds good Parksy. I'd love to come along but I'm not sure if I'm going to be back at the wheel by then: having knee surgery 18th March, and will be unable to drive for 6 - 8 weeks after that, so will have to play that by ear. Or knee, even. Well, even if I can't attend the event in May I'm sure there will be others at which I can come and meet everyone, and dodge the jar of spiders with which I've been threatened!
I just need to know whether Princess Wotamess will be allowed in the pub; I like to line up the drinks and pretend half of them are for the dog......
Also, there will be cause celebre for me by then: the Decree Absolute of my divorce! Yee haaaa!

That's 9 units so far.
I also realise there are Woosie members not yet mentioned who may wish to join in. Please say so asap if you wish to come. I was thinking of Martin in particular. We can all help him with pitching up etc and a super fully serviced pitch would suit him admirably.
Now the good news .
Lee Partridge of Wheathill Touring Park
Wheathill
Near Bridgnorth
Shropshire
WV16 6QT
has very kindly offered us a Woosie Round Table special price of £20.00 per unit per night instead of their usual £25.00. We all get a super serviced 16 amp pitch with brown and grey waste disposal. King WC and Lady Squirrell will be working overtime to make good use of these facilities.
All you need to do asap is send Lee Partridge a £20.00 deposit advising the dates of your stay and that you are a Knight or Lady of the Woosie Round Table. Cheques I guess should be payable to ?????????? If you are unsure please ring Lee direct on
01584 823456.
I'll now sort out the Three Horseshoes for our Woosie fest.
I'll post later with the payee details. Lee is e-mailing me

Thank you sir DD; I was just about to put the record straight. I have no IT skills with which to produce such lovely work as Lady Di Di doth bequeath upon us.
Thank you sir for referring to me as a "maiden". I am afraid that the maiden ship sailed some time ago.
. However, I remain a Lady.

Cynth - as requested I hereby bestow the Woosie name of Baroness Barmy on you. If you wish, you may call your dog Princess Wotamess, but I hope we are not setting a precedence on all the other dogs belonging to Woosie members as they may feel they are the under-dogs.
Dustydog said:
My esteemed apologies to our Royal Ladies in confusing your tasks. I will admonish my scribe (the King is never wrong).
£20.00 pupp??? That's quite a lot for a one-girl-band. I don't usually spend that much on an outing; the last 4 day DA meet I attended only cost me £29.00 for the whole event! I'd better start saving up now, or else camp in a nearby CS and meet you all in the pub? Maybe a rich auntie will leave me lots of money in her will. Trouble is, I haven't got one.

Thank you, Your Royal Water Closetness! and I won't tell the other dogs about the conferring of a Woosie name on my dog if you don't.
