Had written confirmation back from the site this morning, and I'm on regular Pitch 27, backing onto the river, and right next to the Rally Field entrance .

Hi i will be there with my folks (Robert christine quentin) own camper van electric if possible

is the £12.00 for each person attending or for pitch hire

£12 per person per night

[nuttystar]

I just went to send the money via paypal and its trying to charge me. Do I tick the option for recipient will pay fee?

[SteveL]

when completing the paypal screen, under the email address and amount, select the "personal" tab and then tick the "Personal payment owed" ... you shouldnt be charged then

[nuttystar]

Sorry to say its still asking me who is going to pay the fee....

*edit* I just worked out why... its because I am using a card... Ive sorted it though.

[Tim]

Would like to attend thurs/fri/sat. Own Caravan. Electric essential. Wife and 3 sprogs/2dogs. However, if the kids are included as 'persons' and cost 12 quid a night that makes it £140 more expensive than the four nights I already have booked at Kelling

(Kelling cost is £10 per PITCH per night, inc. electric)

Any chance of getting that detail clarified Greg? Thanks very much.

Also, is the whole of the rally field dedicated to SGL, or is it likely to be a shared field with other groups?

[Beyond_Vision]

Got to agree with TJ it seems a bit excessive for a campsite pitch usually you pay around £13 pounds or so for a pitch and may be a nominal fee for each person and maybe cars.

I would guess this site has a number of facilities at the disposal of the customers, and may have a bearing on the price. I'm not at all sure how this place will compare to Kelling for example.

For myself, I'm hoping that it will be a long imaging tutorial for me. Without being too much of a nuisance, I hope I am going to learn a lot from the experts at this event.

I know some seminars cost as much for one day, and I have three. :mrgreen:

[Beyond_Vision]

The facilities at Kelling are superb Ron and the price has been kept at £10 per pitch with no additional costs.

Well, let's hope something can be arranged, especially for Tj. and perhaps others with young uns.

Some concessions for the young, and er 'cough' bus pass holders, may be implemented.

Best to confront this in the early stages, and not at the last minute.

Ron.

[Greg]

Gentlemen can you please keep this thread to names, number of nights attending..

NO CHAT..

Thankyou.

[Whippy]

Thanks for the info Greg .

For a regular Pitch (not rally field), caravan and two adults, I was charged £17, per night, which is about average for that time of the year.

HTH

Dave

[Tim]

Thanks for the clarification.

Hope this doesnt count as 'banter', but we phoned Kelling Heath today and they were more than happy to transfer the £40 we paid for the april pitch to our autumn booking, so dont let that hold anybody back!!

I'll do the paypal thing later.

Really looking forward to this!

[centroid]

Nice one Peter, I look forward to meeting you.

Dave

[AstroTiger]

ps i am happy to share leccy, and equipment. Can even allow another to share tent (they will need bag though)

but if my partner does not come, i will need a hand to pitch if thats ok? (oh yes and to take it back down again

pps, how much is a fishing license? i also have tackle, might do that too if time permits

Thanks

[centroid]

Fishing!!, its the close season at that time :nono:

Slight change of plan! The boss wants to be nearer the toilets so I have booked direct with the site for pitch no.45. This frees up an electric point in the rally field. If lighting is bad for observing from 45 I may need to park my 5ins. refractor near someone in the rally field. See you all there.

Clear Skies,
