If finances and holidays don't conspire to trip me up, yes. You?

(It's the middle weekend of a fortnight for us, so a one week move either way wouldn't help) :( Sorry

The date for the next meet has been changed to accommodate those who would like to come but weren't able to on the previous selection.

It will be the weekend August 7-9

This is a firm date. Put it in your diaries now.

Please can we have admissions of interest. There is no need to commit firmly at this stage if you don't want to, but we need some idea of numbers to arrange activities.
(Obviously there is a difference in planning for 6 or 25)

We're back from hols then, so some of the giraffe clan will probably look in for parts of the weekend.

Depending on the detailed itinerary I would anticipate us joining you for Saturday afternoon activity (assuming it is similar to previously) and then if we have all come down I might join you on my own for the Saturday evening.

Much as I would love to meet you folks, it's a non-starter for me, I'm afraid. Incidentally, nobody has mentioned a likely location, which could make a difference.....

As LAT, Looby and Supersleuth are the ringleaders I believe Surrey/Berkshire is the location. Numbers to be accomodated may make a final decision uncertain.

Base is to be in the Reading area as we thought that would be easy for transport.

Maybe the following one should be in your part of the world Wulfruna?

Looking forward to meeing some of the young giraffes. :D
