When do I leave?
You are welcome to stay with us till after our meeting on Sunday. If you want to hang around and help us tidy up the site that would also be great.
What if it rains?
You will get wet. This is Britain in the summer – bring waterproofs. There is a wet weather programme.
What if I want to be in a group?
One person can book in a whole group at once using the group booking form. You will receive an email reply which will allow you to add names to the group later if you do not know them when you make the booking. Otherwise, individuals can book and pay for themselves, and add a group leader name to their form, so that you can be grouped together. If you have a mixture of caravans/campervans and tents in your group, we will do our best to site you together, but this may not be possible (depending on the ground conditions on site). However, the site is small so you won’t ever be far away.
Will there be meetings?
Yep – we have one very large marquee where main meetings will take place, and there will be some opportunities for smaller groups to meet separately. There will be a couple of main meetings over the weekend, but plenty of time to relax too.
Will there be anything on offer for my not yet believing mates?
Our whole event is aimed toward these guys, with opportunities where your friends (and you!) will be able to ask any questions you have, and join others for discussion.
What if we don’t want to go to all the sessions?
You decide how much you want to take part in. If you spend all weekend catching up on your sleep, that’s fine. While the Big Top entertainment and Sunday meeting are on all other activities will close down.
Where can I hang out with my mates other than in my 2 man tent?
There will be smaller marquees around where you can get a drink and eat your food, hang out, arm wrestle, make top ten lists, read, relax and chat.
I’m coming with mates – can we camp together?
We will try to group you together if we can (there is a box to add the group contact name in on the online booking form), but the site isn’t massive, so you won’t be miles apart.
