have emailed you

[ninah]

thanks for doing this PotC. Really looking forward to it!

[PillockOfTheCommunity]

It's hopefully going to mean I actually do it next year, instead of just talking about it!

[DeeLerious]

Are you doing it this summer or
next? Youngest DD would love it. Not sure about oldest.....

[DeeLerious]

Oh - just seen it. I think by next year we would be up for it. Please keep me posted.

[PillockOfTheCommunity]

I don't think we'd kick you out just because you have a dh at home

email me

my ds will be one year 9 months next summer...is that too young???? I'd be well up for it!

[Ate]

Lunavix sorry, been offline for a day or two! Maybe Pillock could pass on my email addy so I can provide details of the tannery I use?

justaboutgrownup of course you're welcome someone's got to babysit so everyone else can go on the pull after all

Glasto/Big Chill, etc are too large and rowdy for the young uns I think too. Although perfect for an adult only jaunt sometime?!

[Ate]

Tut at my manners! Pillock could you possibly pass my email addy onto Lunavix, please? TY

[PillockOfTheCommunity]

will do

not too young at all Mrtumble - send me an email

[PillockOfTheCommunity]

I've replied to everyone that emailed me and sent an email to Ate about sheepskins

[nappyaddict]

[fransmom]

hi pillock have emailed you!
piratecat, i think i live in the same area as you?

[IllegallyBrunette]

I would be interested if I could get there and had a tent LOL.

Mind you, if you are talking next summer then I might be driving by then.

Will email you pillock.

[PillockOfTheCommunity]

Sounds good Oops where is it? Lack of plastic tat is an unbelievable plus point. (Though I still manage to come home with another set of Poi/Devil stix/etc! And that's just for me! )

I recommend Sunrise Celebration still but it tends to be very early in the season and was so early this year in fact, that is was cancelled due to a monsoon which sent tents floating off.... but the music played on .

The House of Fairytales looks appealing. I'm half tempted to send off an email for more info on intended events. Will post it here if/when I get a response.

There seem to be a few potential 'appy campers without equipment, which I'm sure is something we can work around. One suggestion is that we plan at least a couple of optional communal cooking/eating sessions? In reality there tend to be so many food stalls that cooking isn't necessary but feeding a family that way can bump up the cost of the festy somewhat. For those without cooking equipment, maybe this would help?

Ooh, can me and dd come? She'll be two next June, I'd love to take her to a festival.

[PillockOfTheCommunity]

send me an email

[nappyaddict]

me too please

[FAQ]

well I don't have any equipment.........yet

But I intend to start saving as soon as I get back from my week in Great Yarmouth (this ccoming week) and should then have the necessary stuff by next year

[PillockOfTheCommunity]

You're off to Gt Yarmouth FAQ???
That's near me!

[FAQ]

yes ShelleyLou and I are taking our DS's for a week - it's virtual "2 fingers up" at our ex-es to show them we are more than capable of not only looking after our DS's without them, but of having a bloody good holiday too

[PillockOfTheCommunity]

Excellent plan
My ds1 is away with his daddy for the week camping next week.

I've replied to all who've emailed me so far.

Has everyone had a look at the festival links?
