Will there be a designated area for us (like last year, ahem

)? Who else is camping? And will there be enough cake?

I'm camping. I think somebody said there would be a designated website area.
The cake is a lie!

Judging by the number of websiters planning to "drop in" I think you're going to be baking all week Alex!

I figure we'll be camping, though we won't be there until saturday lunchtime at the earliest.
It's entirely possible we'll bring cake, almost certainly of the chocolate variety.

We'll be there as early as we can make it but probably Friday afternoon. Wife's promised to make and bring homemade Anzac biscuits...

I was planning to travel up on Friday but I am currently away on a two week residential training course and won't get home until Friday afternoon so I'll probably be travelling up on Saturday morning instead. Will be camping on Saturday and possibly Sunday.
This year I'll be bringing with me a large 1970's awning

which will be just the job for sitting and eating cake in if the weather is a bit iffy. Plenty of space - all welcome

(might need a hand on putting it up though so if you see someone struggling under a large mound of brown, orange & beige canvas it will be me!)
Will definately bring some cake but due to being away all next week it might have to be shop bought rather than home made

That reminds me of my time in the boy scouts. Those big old heavy canvas tents weren't just a pain to erect, they leaked like a sieve! ;)
I need to get my own tent out and check it still has all the right pieces.

It's easy to erect, just a lot quicker and easier with more than one pair of hands

Will hopefully not leak like a sieve as cake will get mushy

Never mind the people, it's the cake that's important

Well you've got to get your priorities right
