Posted: Sun Sep 05, 2010 16:50 Post subject: Possible Event in Chesterfield (sorry it's a no go) |
|
|
I mentioned to a couple of people my intentions to look into a possible meet. I have approached a local land owner that has an off road site, Now it's not commercial and they are governed to 24 events per year so at the moment i dont know if i can get permission,
He's got to check with a couple of people and getting back to me within a fortnight, The place is quite big and has something for everyone, We would if allowed also have use of a field for tents/caravans , There would be no hook up but i'm sure i could get hold of an industrial genny to power a few vans/tents and lighting,
HERE are a few pics and vids of a small area of the place(i took my old troop for a day) i'm not saying it is a brilliant site (i have seen better) but as said it has something for everyone(even shinies ) including some tricky stuff, and plenty of bombholes (some water filled some not)
This is by no means a go yet but if i do get the go ahead i would probably be looking at early next year (probably march) and it would be fri-sun/mon with playing on the Saturday and possibly sunday morning.
It is HERE Where you see the tag for windmill lane just before(below) the village would be where we camp and the wooded area to the lower right is the site. Just after the village (2 min walk) is a friendly little pub (if needed) As far as Barbi's and things i would arrange when i know more, I truly believe this would be a cracking weekend. Well for now i think i have covered all i wanted to.
Any comments/suggestions are VERY welcome.
All the best
Dylan. _________________
