7th April: GM alternative meet now at the ely

[DanAbnormal]

Blackwater (near the Ely) Monday 7th April. Anytime after 7pm.

Well seeing as I would like a meet nearer my place, what better way than to hold it at my place! I was thinking of cooking chilli if anyone fancies food. I can cook it for about 6 without too much bother.

Let me know if you can make it.

PM me if you need address/directions.

[dirtydog]

Are you supplying the beer, burgers and choc cake?

[DanAbnormal]

Curry, burgers?!? I'm cooking Chilli as it's easy (lazy, me?!) :D

[ASM-Forever]

Will your wife be at home? ;)

Arriving at this site after driving through a depressing and extremely run down part of Clacton we were checked in and told 'to find somewhere' to pitch up. The site was packed out and we only found a pitch after driving around twice. No hard standing appeared to be available.

Although electric hook-ups were available ours had been taken by someone else who refused to remove their plug, this was rectified a short while later.

My opinion of this site being now somewhat jaded was further reduced on inspecting the toilet and shower facilities. Although they looked good from the outside it quickly became apparent they were suffering from 'commercial site-itis' This condition, only found on commercial sites is the net result of unsupervised and unruly youths who loiter around these facilities, blocking the toilets with loo rolls and throw soggy bits of toilet paper around. Why is it that this is allowed to happen when we all have to use these facilities? Parents who refuse to supervise their children should be thrown off the site.

My spirits were bolstered a little when seeing the club house. This was quite new and looked good. The evening entertainment was an excellent live band, however my experience was once again jaded by the clientele with their refusal to supervise their children running amok and the over-powering fug of cigarette smoke which made my eyes water.
Day 2 on the site and we decided to visit Clacton - then came back! Enough said there I think.

We decided to try the beach walk, after dodging teenagers on skateboards, mini-motorbikes and stunt bikes the walk was quite pleasant. We stumbled across an old coastguard station where wonder of wonders, there was an art exhibition. If ever a place needed culture this was it! This was a jewel in a vacuum.

I'm sure this site would appeal to some people but I couldn't get away from it fast enough - there is no way I would go for a return visit.
I agree with a previous report about having to go through a shanty town to get there that was a bit of an eye opener but it made the kids laugh.
Rather you than me mate! :D

But I suspect ASM was referring to someone else's wife who he has a thing for ;)

[Colby]

5 days for 109 quid between 4 of us. (me, my wife, my sis in law n her husband)

And if its REALLY bad we'll come back. But then We live near Bracknell.... how bad can it be in comparison?

And we are staying in a permanent caravan thing so we get our own toliet facilities.

[DanAbnormal]

Will your wife be at home? ;)

Mebe...........:D

I've already warned her about your wiley ways. And she said......"Well if he was rich"............:o:rolleyes:

[DanAbnormal]

so we get our own toliet facilities.

Bucket with a sponge...........:p

On the basis of a short term lease, i'm not quite ready to purchase outright just yet. :smt118:cool:

[ASM-Forever]

I'm not sure i have a thing for her, but if previous photos are accurate i would be prepared to make a deposit. :smt077

[Stu]

Dan is a graphic artist! :twisted:

[ASM-Forever]

Dan is a graphic artist! :twisted:

I'm aware of that. :)

Hence why i may just turn up to see if she is a moose. :p

[Stu]

Maybe she's a fox and he disfigures her photos to try and fend you off?

[dirtydog]

Yeah i'll be there

[DanAbnormal]

I'm not sure i have a thing for her, but if previous photos are accurate i would be prepared to make a deposit. :smt077

Dude!

Well if ya don't mind stirring...........no I'll leave that there. My wife is no moose. Why on Earth would I marry a minger?!

[DanAbnormal]

Okay so confirmed for Monday and chilli are:

DD
Mystery guest
Stu
Tara
Falc

Anyone else?

Mark are you going to join our merry gang for an evening?

[ASM-Forever]

I'd feel really guilty breaking up a marriage....... ;)

Probably not tbh, Mondays are my day of rest. I find if you extend the weekend an extra day, the 'working' week is more tolerable. :)

[DanAbnormal]

[DanAbnormal]

Hi guys,

Anyone who wants to can still come over but I really don't feel like cooking.

[dirtydog]

It's upto you mate, if you fancy us all descending on your place then cool we'll be there if you don't we'll just invade the pub as normal

[Law]

As DD said, I don't mind either way, it's the company that I go to the meets for, not for the food or drink.

[DanAbnormal]

Okay well how about we meet at the Ely?

I could do with getting out of the house for a bit.

[dirtydog]

it's the company that I go to the meets for, not for the food or drink.

Are you having a pop at Dans cooking? (i've never tasted dans cooking but the steak last time was lovely ;))

Okay well how about we meet at the Ely?
