Well I'm going over tomorrow eve then we are going there on the friday morning/lunch to sort out anything that may need it so can be there any time really

Thought they weren't letting people in until 6? If we can get in earlier I'll come earlier and help, got all day Friday off anyway.

By the looks of things, its one of the bigger of the plots, only issue being there is a hedge that runs through part. The bigger bit is obviously ours with the smaller bit (wide enough for a diagonal car) is ambiguous. I'm unsure who this belongs to, but I reckon we could claim it, lining it with the runners up for the Front Row Submissions or track users. Here is my plan:

The area shaded orange MUST be captured and held IMMEDIATELY! Or the 106 boys will steal it!

Plus, here is the camping area:

I think that bit the other side of the hedge would normally be part of the plot opposite, IE 106oc

I dont see why it should be. Its on our patch, with a cut through. And besides, their area is separated from it by the road.
Thanks given by:
It's the same plot as last year.just the one side of the hedge with the path up the middle

I dont believe there are any food vans on the friday. I may be wrong but as far as im aware its just camping with the 300m2 tent with hogroast for VIP?

Hi all,

Been setting this up today.

Just to let you know, that area behind the bush IS yours... If you need a bit more space, I can move the barriers around a bit. Niall, do you want to give me a buzz when you get here and we will sort it.

As for camping, no-one has guaranteed camping spaces, nothing has been reserved.... again, that said - I have some barrier tape, my car and some fence posts - so I'm happy to cordon you somewhere off if you want? To be honest, it would be useful if DumDum (known as the gatekeeper for the evening) were near the gate, and you all, to keep an eye on the security guards and people trying to sneak in without paying.

Cheers,

JP

Thanks for clarifying the stand layout mate.

That's quite frustrating about camping as I have has numerous messages from Mark confirming that we have our own camping area allocated. I've sent you a pm but if you are happy to set out an area using some tape that would be much appreciated. Thanks
Thanks given by:
I've just spoken to him about it, it sounds like there was a miss communication. I think he thought you meant can you corden off an area when you get here - which you can. But if you want a specific place keeping, that's something I'll have to do on the down low for you.

Is by the gate / showers / toilets etc where you want to be? Basically, by that fence in the pic pebbles took?

OK, only place out of the way is right at the far end, away from the bar, food, entertainment, toilets and showers.

JP

Also, do you want me to put a 306oc sign on the bit near the "stupid f*cking bush" ??

Out of the way is a double edged sword TBH somewhere that is a naturally defensible space is probably best wherever it is. I'll give you a hand setting it up tomorrow xx
