The Ar08 - Its Here !!!!!!!!
 

Right Guys and Gals
Here it is.... The long awaited firm location for this years AR.

http://www.halfwaycaravanpark.com

I have spoken to the owners of the campsite and they are delighted we would like to make use of their Rallie Site for the weekend.
This is the score

The Costs
?7.00 per night for a single Man Tent
?10.00 per night for a Two Man Tent
?20.00 per night for a Four man tent
IMPORTANT EDIT: if you have a two man tent it costs 10.00 per night for the pitch and an additional 3.00 for the second person.
If you have a four man tent it costs 20.00 per night for the pitch and then 3.00 each per night per extra person. I am sorry i didnt make this clear at the start but i have only just been told Sorry
The owners of the site have said anything Larger will have to be looked at dependant on the space it takes up on the day.

How To Book
All you need to do to book is to vote on this poll. The poll is designd for us to be able to give the campsite a guide of numbers of people Camping. No need to vote if you are just coming for an evening to socialise and not camping. You can book up right up to the day before so.....
PLEASE DO NOT VOTE UNTIL YOU ARE SURE YOU ARE GOING TO ATTEND
It will be a public poll so we can all see who is going. There are four options.
Option 1.= 1 Man tent Just for one night
Option 2 = 1 Man tent for two nights
Option 3 = 2 Man tent for one night
Option 4 = 2 Man tent for two nights
Option 5 = 4 Man tent for one night
Option 6 = 4 Man tent for two nights
If you have a camper van or larger tent please PM me so i can get you a price for direct from the campsite.
The owners of the site have asked me to take the bookings as they dont want to be bombarded with phone calls etc

How Do I Pay
When you arrive at the site you will be met by me or a member of the commitee. They will show you where our area is and take your money from you then. Once everybody has arrived and paid we will give a lump sum to the site owners

On Site Facilities
We have use off the shower and toilet blocks. Showers are run on a token basis. The tokens are issued to the comittee and we can hand them to you. he tokens cost 50p each
There is a pub right next door so beer can be drunk and food comsumed. The pub also has a few B&B rooms for those who do not wish to camp. Please contact the pub directly

Local Area
Theres no shop on site, but Yeovil itself is 10 minutes away and it has a Tesco, an ASDA and a Morrisions so theres no shortage of shops for you to stock up on beer and food etc.

Re: The Ar08 - Its Here !!!!!!!!
 

Excellent news, and a pub within staggering distance

Give that man a cigar :cheers:

Re: The Ar08 - Its Here !!!!!!!!
 

I'll be there. But then you already knew that Rick.

Re: The Ar08 - Its Here !!!!!!!!
 

Yep. I'll be there with... WRC63 as my camping Bud...
1 car+trailer +2 bikes... and two man tent.

Re: The Ar08 - Its Here !!!!!!!!
 

Campsite is 10 minutes from my house... Umh... kip in a field or kip in my bed...

Saturday night I'll definately be on site as I want to have a beer or two, or three. Not sure about Friday yet...

Re: The Ar08 - Its Here !!!!!!!!
 

I'm already there!

Re: The Ar08 - Its Here !!!!!!!!
 

If 27 of us chip in ?10 each we could have the bridal suite in the pub for two nights....

Re: The Ar08 - Its Here !!!!!!!!
 

I'm in!!

Re: The Ar08 - Its Here !!!!!!!!
 

Much as I'd like to show my support, it'd be a bit premature at the moment, however once I've mastered walking, then riding, then riding any distance, then provided the event hasn't passed I'll be there.

if by that time I can also manage a further ride following the one down, I may do the rideout itself, but as said a long way to go yet.

Cheers Mark.

Re: The Ar08 - Its Here !!!!!!!!
 

Be great to see you there mark. Good luck and a speedy recovery mate

Re: The Ar08 - Its Here !!!!!!!!
 

I know that dates etc are mentioned on the other thread, but it would be nice to keep all the info in one nice easy to read thread. Any chance of adding that data, or at least a link to it in your post?

Hopefully will be attending but wont vote till I am sure.

Re: The Ar08 - Its Here !!!!!!!!
 

dates added to first post.

Re: The Ar08 - Its Here !!!!!!!!
 

I WILL be attending. I will be bringing a 4 man tent but there is no option bigger than a two man. Does that mean x 2 2 man tent :?:

Oh also, I'll probably be camping Friday, Sat & Sun night (possibly)

Mark, if you can ride see you down there, if you can't ride but will be attending, you already have transport.

For all the TV and Soho guys, arrangements will be made in advance to pick up all your camping gear and transport it down if you so wish. Further details to follow.

Re: The Ar08 - Its Here !!!!!!!!
 

I'll be there. I may be misunderstanding this, but by 2 man tent does it mean the size of the tent or the amount of people in it? Coz I use a three man tent just for me, my wang and my ego to share...

Re: The Ar08 - Its Here !!!!!!!!
 

The costs ie ?7.00 for a one man tent assumes only one person will be in the tent and ?10.00 for a two man tent assumes 2 persons.
I am going to call the site in a moment (after 11 their office housrs) to clarify larger tents and camper van costs and i will add them to the poll and the first post.
HTH. :cool:

Re: The Ar08 - Its Here !!!!!!!!
 

Me and the wife (g/f) will be there, Friday and Saturday.

Re: The Ar08 - Its Here !!!!!!!!
 

:smt103

oops

:oops:

Re: The Ar08 - Its Here !!!!!!!!
 

Is the rideout route the same as before?

Any chance of a google map type thingie of exactly where we will be going?

Also, maybe a daft question, but have you told the pub to expect a large group of hungry and thirsty bikers that weekend?

Re: The Ar08 - Its Here !!!!!!!!
 

I seem to remember a Marquee/Big Army tent being mentioned at some point in discussion.

Is this still an option?

Would be good to have a bit of a better version of "Shelter City" on site.

Re: The Ar08 - Its Here !!!!!!!!
 

Yes the rideout route is the same as before. I havent published details as TBH I have a small part of it that needs refining, and also with the campsite changing I need to work out a route back to the campsite / end point that works a little better than it does now.

I dont want to publish it till its finished otherwise it may lead to confusion if or when I have to change things.

Nobody needs to worry nobody is going to get lost or left behind, The route will be marked by a marker team than will know the route etc etc.

The campsite is in the grounds of the pub, Viper has spoken to the landlord and they are expecting us so I dont see any problems there.

Re: The Ar08 - Its Here !!!!!!!!
 

IMHO The Marque is out, they are expensive to hire, and it'll mean us trying to cover our costs again, and that just makes life more complicated.

As for the Army tents, I'm not sure if we can get them.

Personally I think we should keep things simple, the site has everything we need, if it rains we can go in the pub. If peeps wanna bring their own gazeebo or stuff they bought from last year then I reckon we should just go with that, we can all muck in together rather than trying to pre organise stuff.
