JoT Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Not always white but he did buy this last year without telling me til he'd done it full of little surprises my hubby oooh...wonder if we should come down thursday? what time do the festivities start on friday? That's not a little surprise! I'm not sure when things are likely to start on Friday but we didn't fancy the journey on a Friday so decided to travel on Thursday instead. It also means we can spend Friday trying to tire the dogs out so that they hopefully don't cause mayhem and destruction if we try to leave them in the motorhome whilst we play out. I'm booked. The lady doing the booking sounded lovely, and helpful. I think shes looking forward to meeting all these dogs! She did sound lovely. At the end of our conversation she said, 'And of course you'll be bringing a dog'. I said 'No, we'll be bringing four dogs'. She took it much better than most campsite owners tend to.

I said 'No, we'll be bringing four dogs'. She took it much better than most campsite owners tend to. LOL, so it was you!! When I told her I was only taking one dog, she seemed quite surprised, as the last two bookings were for four dogs each! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zico's mum Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I had a look at the OS maps and there seem to be plenty of public footpaths very close by - and some woods as well so lots of walks for the dogs. Oh and can I warn everyone in advance Daisy is very likey to set off her earsplitting scream when she sees the chickens around the farm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggy.lover Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Try this LOL, so it was you!!When I told her I was only taking one dog, she seemed quite surprised, as the last two bookings were for four dogs each!

lazydaisy Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Wibble - I have booked! 2.5 dogs (1 is a chi) a teen and a 9yr old. They have only experienced camping in France when the tent was already erected. Daughter needs to wash, son does'nt All the camping equipment I have is a tent, never used, some cutlery and plastic plates! what else do I need, I am on a minimal budget and dont want to get too much in case kids hate it.

Natalie34 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 you are one step ahead of me, I haven't even got a tent lol never taken my kids camping before, and like you, don't want to spend a fortune in case they dont like it !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranirottie Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 put your tent up in your garden and camp for the evening/night, you will soon find out what you need. If you run out of anything you can always nip across to our caravan ,we have plenty of everything. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selina Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I'm sulking doesn't look like we can go, it's only two weeks before the welsh springer spaniel rescue camping weekend and we've already booked and Rob can only get one in four weekends off work so I'm going to have to say No for now but if a miracle happens and he hasn't got any work nearer the time and there is a space left then we'll see. I'll be watching this space . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think of that Hope we are allowed - can someone let me know if its ok just to book and come along? x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Yep, book your space by calling the number in the original post and quote Oldies Club. I think we may need to beg them to add a few more pitches...or we'll have to take over the local field with cattle The more the merrier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaraMoochi Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Oww fab thank you - I will call tomorrow.
