Shitefest 23...???

[Sunny Jim]

If people would be willing to come to my neck of the woods (LL55 postcode) I know the owner of a local campsite where I've held events before. There's toilets and showers on site and a small bunkhouse for those who don't fancy tenting it/sleeping in their cars/passing out in the open. There's also a small bakehouse on site that does pizza in the evenings and has been persuaded to do breakfasts in the past too.

If people are interested I'd be happy to make enquiries to see if we could gather there.

Hell yes !!!!

Plenty of fun stuff around there, old railways etc. Could go here again but a bit further from where we stayed a few years ago https://www.internalfire.com/event.php

I think I might just be able to make it. Although I'd prefer to go via South Wales or something daft just to make a road trip of it!

Sounds excellent, and the on-site bakehouse is just the icing topping on the cake pizza. Well volunteered @Sunny Jim!

[Ghosty]

Snowdon sounds fucking class.

Yeah, it's about 3 hours from proposed site to the museum. I'm sure they would welcome us again though. They're finding it a struggle at the moment, as you can well imagine. I may well be organising a HubNut meet at the museum at some point this year. Rumour has it the Fiesta is off for bodywork at some point this year.

I'd be well down for a Welsh Shitefest. The Internal Fire museum is such a great place to visit.

[Sunny Jim]

I'll try and contact the campsite owner over the weekend to see if this is a goer or not. Did the discussion get as far as any proposed dates and numbers likely to attend yet?

I'm avoiding all back and beyond mountain roads in Wales if we go there again, not going through loosing 2 tyres again 😂

I would very much like to make use of my new trailer for a visit to the museum again

End of April was mooted originally but it was somewhat shot down as quite soon and early enough in the year that it would be cold and miserable. Later in the year with better weather certainly gets my vote. Provided I'm not working of course

[Dave_Q]

Sunny Jim, whenever it is someone won't be able to make it, so just pick a weekend that works for you and the campsite (probs not a bank holiday tho) and if you arrange it - they will come.

But far for me that… 😉😆

If internal fire is a bit far at 3 hours, there’s always Tacla Taid which is on Anglesey. It’s a nice little spot.

[Supernaut]

Can we get some progress on dates for this, then?

I've got annual leave to use before the end of July...

 

Also, why isn't this pinned?

[Sunny Jim]

UPDATE FROM NORTH WALES! WE COULD BE HERE ⬇️

I've spoken to the campsite owner and he's up for it. He did say that he likes to run a quiet campsite but appreciates that large groups tend not to be quiet. He therefore proposes that we rent the entire campsite for the weekend so we can have the place to ourselves. The cost would be £1,000 for the Friday to the Sunday. Is it realistic to expect 50 people to attend? Then a tenner a night to camp on a lovely site in Snowdonia with toilets, showers and a bar isn't bad really.

If this is going to happen I need to know numbers quickly. These are the dates I've been offered when the whole campsite is available:

1. 6th to 8th May

2. 13th to 15th May

3. 15th to 17th July

Please reply listing your preferred date(s) and let's see if we can make this happen - Shite Am Byth!

@twosmoke300 - could you maybe change the thread title to attract people's attention to this please?

[twosmoke300]

I’m ok with any but the 13th- 15th is my preferred .

maybe a poll ? 
I guess a decision has to be made fairly quickly ? 
Thanks for looking into this btw .

[catsinthewelder]

Sounds good to me so long as we can get the numbers.  I'm supposed to be somewhere on the 8th but could probably get out of it/ be a little late.  I suggest we buy tickets so 10 hardcore shitters aren't left with £100 bill each if it rains.

Any volunteers to collect the ticket money?  

 

[Sunny Jim]

Cheers @twosmoke300 - can you create a poll in this thread otherwise I'll start a spreadsheet.

@catsinthewelder- good idea - I'd be happy to sell tickets, what do you reckon to £20 each and see what we can raise this way? Given the proclivities of the Welsh weather I'll look into to begging/borrowing/stealing a marquee so we can have a dry space to gather in - otherwise we can be outside round a large bonfire.

@beko1987it's downhill all the way there on decent A roads so you'll get there easy enough. Getting home on the other hand...

[twosmoke300]

Done . On the first post 

 

[davidfowler2000]

Can I change my mind on the poll. Option 3 for dates rather than option 2 as I forgot it's my own organised meeting at Crail. Idiot.

[mat_the_cat]

Might it be better to list dates we can't do, and pick the one with the least number non-attendees? I can't do the July dates, and only part of the the 13-15th May (although that's not an issue for me as I rarely tend to stay the whole weekend anyway).

[BorniteIdentity]

Wales. 😭

[willswitchengage]

I'm game for the mid-May date, can't do the other two (RIAT is that weekend in July!)
