LRM Show @ Billing - Silly Rules.......

[Wanderer]

TBH Marked out pitches will make the site safer as long as people obey them.

After all of the tree damage etc the other year I think H+S must have read the riot act. Tents and caravans were mixed together and overcrowding was rife. You'd set your caravan up next to another one and get back later to find another caravan parked in between.

The crew that run the off road course...where do they camp?
Farmers field?

I was thinking of speaking again to the Farmer and seeing if he would set aside a spot specifically for the club..... if anyone else was up for it?

Have just had a call from LRM, apparentley you can turn up on the Friday now, though there won't be any marshalls to help you to your pitch.So it will be down to you to find a pitch yourself, and hopefully if you have more than one pitch booked you will get them together, depending on how busy the site is.So the upshot is you takea ya chances if you arrive on Friday.

Thats what I have been told so will go with that, though I would suggest anyone else going Friday, it maybe an idea just to confirm it also and post here, I spoke to Christine at LRM on 01359 240066, she was very helpfull.

To be honest, this is what we have always done in previous years. ;)

Well we are there for the duration so if you get any problems finding space on Frday then we will still be 'on duty' I expect. SLROC are Caravan & camping marshals again this year.

With regard to taking pot luck getting a pitch, if you've paid and have the correct paperwork, then you should have a spot. Alex the Camping Bailiff seems very efficient. Either you do as he says and park right or you can leave, seems to be his motto.
As i said, this is what a lot of people didn't agree with last year, but it did work for the majority.
The bit you do need to remember though is the gazebo rule.
They must be taken doen at night apparently: something to do with extra people getting in free and kipping under them, plus the space they can take up.

I'd probably be up for that... though only if non-mud club friends can join in.  (Yes... I do have some!
