Is USA 2008 off?I've heard that the America 2008 trip has been cancelled due to spiralling costs. Can anyone confirm this for definite?
If it is true, and as chances are a lot of us have booked the time off already, why don't we arrange something for the weekend we were supposed to be away (23-25 May)? Who's for, who's against? Pompey, Guzz, or Faslane areas? (Or even Barrow to keep me happy?) Cheap hotels, tents, MQs or mates' houses? These are just some early thoughts. Post yours. |

Hi,
Yes the America trip has been cancelled. A meet up would be good though. Open to sugestions - answers on a postcard please!

A meet up would be awesome - my vote is for here in Pompey....there's a spare bed here if anyone wants it 
|

we're in Pompey for the fest only a few weeks later, somewhere different I think! Somewhere in between London, Portsmouth, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and Scotland...
oh look.. I think we're in Bristol!!! result! |

You could stay in the kennel but you wouldn't fit

I vote for a world record attempt - How many people can actually fit in the kennel at once :-) | ||

I've been doing a bit of research. Heron is approx. half way between Guzz and Pompey (sorry Neptune), so I've looked at campsites in that area. I've come up with 2 so far. These are just examples to givean idea of cost.
Feel free to add any more ideas... LONG HAZEL PARK High Street, Sparkford, Yeovil, Somerset BA22 7JH http://www.sparkford.f9.co.uk/lhi.htm 2 people, 1 tent, 1 car, £16 per night Bowdens Crest Caravan & Camping Park, Bowdens, Langport, Somerset TA10 0DD http://www.bowdenscrest.co.uk/ 2 people, 1 tent, 1 car, £10-15 per night, depending on tent size |

Dont mind going anywhere!
Nice pubs near Faslane :) |

Faslane is good, but the midgies put me off camping there. We did do it a few years ago, staying in the MQs on a short term thing. It was good fun. It was where the rubber-flying-helmet-silly-hat started. Also, ask Chrissy about the fake 'taches! | ||

Yeovil is good - my mate's got a spare bed at hers if I need it

Not been to Culdrose as yet.
Any good pubs down there? |

I've got 5 spare beds ( if anyone doesn't mind sharing, 3 if you do), a sofa and a garden if yr coming this way! Will be happy to accomodate. | ||

Think we've got a wedding to go to that weekend, have to travel, so near Anne & Dolly's would be good, we'd only have to miss 1 evening!!!!!! | ||

Id be up for that - Camping in VL, or anywhere really. Could all go to Cornwall for the weekend camping, I wont be here, but will come down for it. Plenty of campites, caravan sites etc around the areas!? Let me know if you want me to look into something. I have a suggestion though......One person (maybe two) should take the lead on organising or else it wont get off the ground. I vote Axl seeing as he started it !! Sorry Chum !!!!! | ||
