Sounds superb... Especially when you remember that last year we essentially had a field, and a toilet, and a barbeque, and added everything else ourselves.

I don't get excited about this stuff. But I'm making an exception here

TBH with the amount of people that are coming the field is going to be reasonably chocka. I dont think theres anywhere else that will have enough space for cricket on site and personally I dont really want cricket balls hooning about near my bike...

Lets wait till everybody has arrived on the friday and then see what we can do.

No problem. we're just using the poll to guage numbers. We're not short of room, nobody needs to worry I just want to make sure that the use of the space is prioritised properly thats all.

Field is looking good, grass nicely cropped and also the field is nice and flat. Despite the fact we've had alot of rain here in the last week or so its not squelchy either so drainage looks to be good to.

Theres plenty of hard parking round the back of the pub, some of its a bit gravelly, other bits are tarmac.

We sampled the food in the pub, a very reasonable £4.95 for cheeseburger and chips, nice big burger and plenty of chips with salad, to much for me I coudlnt finish it Also a reasonable range of bar meals at that price, with a more expensive selection £10 ish available in the pub restaurant.

As I said in the 4 wheels thread, the field is big enough and accesable to get both cars and bikes into. If you are parking your car in the field though you may get blocked in by tents so only park it in there if you dont wana get it out until Sunday. If you want it for beer run etc then park it up on in the actual pub carpark.

Fields big enough to create if you want it a quiet area so that those of you who are bring your little ones with you can pitch up in the far ned of the field so that they wont get disturbed as much by the noisy b*ggers who stay up till stupid o''clock in the morning

So I think we are all ready to go. Here's hoping its gonna be a good one.
I must add that I did not eat so i will take Fizz's word for it but it did look good.
Everything is set up for you guys to have a good time. Just turn up, kick back and chill.
