I believe a number of Warship modellers may want to display under the ModelwarshipsUK banner.

Will this be in order please ?

Rex

Sure Rex!

... bring extra guy ropes for your gazebo!

Do you have to be over the drinking age to come along? as pretty much all of the replies are on beer...?

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #129 on:** March 17, 2011, 04:25:40 PM »

It's a public park so no drinking allowed during opening hours.
... drinking usually goes on in p-privacy of the camping field.

Hi there all, if anyone is camping remember their campsite doesn't open until the Saturday. They won't let us camp on the Friday night. I spoke to them today, if they change their opening dates for camping they will let us know. Dave. :)

Friday is always the first day of the open camping season! Also this event has been booked for nigh on a year, and they know we have people coming to camp. Does that mean the traders cannot setup and camp on Friday as well!!!!!

Hi there Klunk, they've no problem with setting up on the Friday but I've been told 3 times now and again today by Wicksteed Park themselves that their camping season doesn't start until the Saturday so no camping allowed on Friday night unless they decide otherwise. Am just passing on what I've been told. Seems a bit stupid to me, I intend to set up a gazebo on Friday but we're going to have to find somewhere else to stay with our caravan on the Friday night, then bring it to Wicksteed on Saturday, pain in the backside really. Dave.

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #135 on:** March 18, 2011, 07:16:41 PM »

I'll give them a ring next week.

Bill D203 · « **Reply #136 on:** March 18, 2011, 08:20:43 PM »

Thats seems like an oversight to me. Its a bank hol weekend why would they give up the chance to make money from campers?? Very odd. Still ha ho I can't get there till Sunday this year so unless her indoors changes her mind will not need camping

Nice to here from you Bob.
I can't see Wicky park not letting us camp on Friday night! Moneys money.
Lets hope our leader gets it all shorted soon

Number 6 · « **Reply #141 on:** March 19, 2011, 11:22:44 PM »

I hope Martin can persuade them too, it's a bit daft not being allowed to camp Friday but they were fairly adamant on the phone about it. Dave. :(

klunk · « **Reply #142 on:** March 20, 2011, 06:53:55 PM »

right spoke a member of our club today who has booked camping from friday and saturday that weekend. Will only be able to confirm it once the tickets come through though. He did say that the lady seemed foreign!

gingyer · « **Reply #143 on:** March 20, 2011, 07:06:13 PM »

This seems the same as last year
when we booked they said that we were not allowed in on the friday night
but when we said we were with the model boat people then it was ok
if you dont say model boat show then they wont let you in on friday

Younger at 70 · « **Reply #144 on:** March 20, 2011, 07:10:18 PM »

Good looks like fish and chips is on .Martin can I order fish and chips for two the Grizzly can steal his own

Bill D203 · « **Reply #145 on:** March 20, 2011, 07:21:41 PM »

Can someone order a lot of SUNSHINE!!!
I will bring my gen set for charging your battery's. I here BMPRS are going to have a table this year so I will not be on my own flying the flag for race boats.
Now then how much are they charging for camping ??? Friday, Sat night.

Younger at 70 · « **Reply #146 on:** March 20, 2011, 07:31:43 PM »

klunk · « **Reply #147 on:** March 20, 2011, 07:44:08 PM »

Heavy rain and high winds have already been booked by me, so no worries there.....

I hope they do let us camp Friday, I'll try it on the day but when I rang up last Friday I did say I was coming for the Model Boat Mayhem weekend and she still said no to Friday camping. Dave.
