SGLXII Pitch Allocations - 7th September 2016

[Grant]

Hi all,

I've had the pitch allocations so far back from Lucksall - these as always are provisional so you could get moved nearer the time depending on pitch conditions etc...

 

If you are expecting your name to be above and it isn't, please let me know and I will double check but everyone who has booked so far should have a pitch above.

If you would like to change your pitch at all, then the best thing to do is to give Lucksall a call - they have tried to match everybody up to their requested pitch but as sometimes multiple people want the same pitch that has not always been possible.

There are still plenty of pitches left if anybody would like to join us - please make your booking via the FLO website: https://www.firstlightoptics.com/sglxii-booking/sgl12-pitch-booking.html

Food bookings can be done until the beginning of October when we will need to confirm numbers:

There are also still two pods left - the beach hut and the pavilion - please book these directly with Lucksall: http://www.lucksallpark.co.uk/

Cheers,

Grant

Thanks

Would have liked to attend this year, but got guests over from the US for a while, so can't really toddle off camping to do any astronomy whilst they are here. Hoping for next year to attend though if all goes well.

Thanks for all your hard work Grant. So you've sorted the moon, pitch numbers allocated and now just clear skies to do 

[Ally8446]

Happy days.  Can't wait.  BRING ON THE CLEAR SKIES ??

[Hobbes]

Thanks Grant. Looking forward to my first SGL star party.

[AllanJ]

Thanks, Grant. Looking forward to it. Now I will start organising a hired motorcaravan as I sold mine a few weeks ago - it hadn't been off the drive since SGLXI and was starting to look a bit more than decrepit.

If you send a pm to Grant im sure he will deal with it

[nightfisher]

On the subject of pitches i have an EHU cable that is about 20ft long, will this be long enough to go from the plug in point to my tent

[Moonshane]

Should be fine Jules, just site your tent accordingly. There's plenty of space on the pitch.

[wookie1965]

I have booked EHU for my tent not bought the hook up yet what is best length and is I'd better get one with RCD thanks in advance. 

[Moonshane]

Definitely get one with RCD. If buying one then 10m minimum I'd say but 25m better as sometimes you'll be further away.

[reddoss]

Thankyou Grant. Looking forward to it.

Check Maplins, they have good ones with build in RCD and they wind up. Quite often have offers on them. Good time to get one as most camping places have sales, now that the camping "season" has ended. As Shane says, get a reasonably long one

[cjdawson]

A 10 meter hey cable should be ok.  A 25 meter one will work great and there will be lots tr spare cable - don't coil that cable up in case it gets hot and melts the insulation (won't happen if the cable isn't coiled up).   Having an rcd is also a must have for safety.

 

[wookie1965]

Thank you Ian and cjdawson just looking now will check Maplins seen one in Blacks 15m 3 socket with RCD £30.

[DRT]

I already have a 25mm EHU but it doesn't have an RCD. Does anyone know where I can get an RCD unit to attach to the cable I have?
