our new stomping (camping) ground
I know it's a bit late to announce, but this news is well worth it! With some guidance from Andrea, I have selected a new camping ground for us this year. Behold....

Flanagan's Reserve

It's seems like a nice place and I've heard some good things about it. I gave them a call and they seem like really nice people. Plus, it's only down the road from Bigriggen. It's cheaper than Bigriggen - only $5 per night per adult, and only pay for the nights you stay.

I've told them we'll have around 15 people arrive, so please let me know if you plan to come as I will need to advise them differently if it is much more than that.

I asked about campfires, and she said we can have fires in the drums they supply. Not sure if these are the homeless bum drums I am thinking of, but I'm sure we'll figure something out. Maybe we could make a sawn-off fire drum the size of Ed's Taj Mahal.

The dates as per usual is the Friday to Monday over the Queen's Birthday Long Weekend, which this year is from Fri 8th June - Mon 11th June.

Let me know in the comments below if you plan on coming, your arrival/departure time and how many people you'll bring with you. I'll start off the show with our numbers :)

I am keen :) But this is all new for me (the camping part) I have much skill in the drinking area ;)
- Chad
Goodo, we need a few drinkers up our sleeves to show the rest how it's done. Don't worry about lack of camping experience. Andrea was a first-timer last year and she tried to get the Queen to change her birthday weekend so she could go camping sooner.

Be thinking of nee festival over here in pommie land. Pity they cant celebrate their own Queens B'day, I'd like a weekend to go camping. Have a few for me.

One of my friends from work (Jo) is probably going to come and if she does she will be bringing a friend.
- Andrea
Ok guys. For all "you new people" don't worry Ed will be there. If you guys dont know what you need or dont have what you think you need ask me (via here or adam or email).

I would also like to know who plans on being down there on friday morning. I plan to get there reasonably early so I can find a spot big enough for all of us and the taj mahal.

Hope to see you all there.
