I'm still hoping to have an urg meet here on 7th July with the option of
going down to Charlie's nursery on the 8th - people could probably take in
the Eden Project that day, too but Charlie will give timings and
directions
for that!
People who want to make it a bit of a holiday could perhaps, go on from
Charlie's to Penzance and take the helicopter to Tresco the next day for a
day or overnight trip.

For those who'd like to come here, we have room in the car park for a
couple
or three caravans, as those who have been before will know; lunch is on
us
and the evenings are, as tour directors say, 'at liberty'. ;-) There are
several good b&bs in and around this village and a very little further
afield and there is plenty to see and do in the area generally. Our local
pub is very good and there are other and excellent ones around here, too.
If
anyone who hopes to come wants to know about local accommodation, let me
know.
I've been in contact with Cormaic and they're going to try to make it if
they can.
Unhappily, recent developments in this group mean that two people are not
included in this open invitation and I feel quite sure they know who they
are, so am going into that no further. It's something I regret *very*
much
having to say.
If you would like to join us, please email me or let me know here and if
anyone has any food allergies, please nudge me nearer the time. I'll post
a
reminder a bit later, too.

Just to let everyone know that whilst we can not offer anyone a bed for the
night we shall as Sacha has indicated be home on both days and are happy to
entertain you all either in dribs and drabs or on mass!
We know we are a long way down and most will not want to make the extra
journey. Any one who does want to make a short break of it we are within
half a mile of two camp sites and numerous B&Bs I will ask nearer the time
who might be coming.

Charlie, how long would it take to drive from our meet to your meet, do you
think? I'm just thinking it would help people to plan their weekend as they
could decide whether to drive down to your area on the Saturday night or the
Sunday morning.
I imagine being a Saturday meet here, it's going to be difficult for you and
Liz to get away and come to lunch here? If you can make it, that would be
lovely!

Liz says its about a 2 hour drive via Plymouth and if no one wants to come
down here (i.e. no takers!) then we may consider coming up on the Saturday
in order to meet people although its our only free weekend until end of
September so we may chicken out :~)

I'm ashamed of you. ;-)) Imagine taking a whole week end to yourselves. ;-)
So from Plymouth to you means about 2.5 hours from us altogether. It would
probably be helpful to you both if people let you know very soon if they're
going to come on down to you, no?

We reckon we did the whole trip in 2 hours and as you know we drive a van,
in a half decent car should be quicker!
Yes if everyone could stop shouting at one another long enough to say
whether they are interested it would be helpful :~)

I think so. We get to the heliport in just over 2 hours IIRC from our last
trip.

Start a new thread, Charlie - it might clarify things for you and Liz. It's
still early days for a lot of people to make a firm commitment, so I think
we'll both need to give a reminder nearer the time.
