eeyore · #1 (**permalink**) 25-07-2007, 08:48 PM

Following on from some discussion at minsmere I propose a meeting at RSPB leighton moss (lancashire) on the (sat)15th and (sun)16th of september.

I am organising this meet jointly with sarah (almost normal) - she will be providing the local knowledge while I look after coordinating whose coming , campsite bookings etc - and of course lending my suave good looks and raffish debonair charm to the proceedings

Please note that as with minsmere this is not a dedicated birdwatching only meet - As with every meet with which I am involved this will be a chilled day out with a freinds , having a laugh , quite possibly a sherbert or two , seeing some birds and taking some pics.

Every one is welcome so If you want to come please sign up below - and also let us know if you want to camp or not.for those that do camp once we know numbers i will try to find a site to take us all - while for those wishing more civilised accom sarah can hopefully recomend some hotels , b+bs etc.

i look forward to seeing you there

pete

Put me down, Pete. I've managed to miss all the WAB meets so far this year, and I'm determined to finally get to one.

Sounds good to me, I'll have to check the diary to see if I'm working that weekend.

A bit bothered about sherbert, though, would rather go to a pub and have a beer

We'd be in the old motorhome too.

Put me down for that. I will be camping or maybe staying in the Youth Hostel nearby.

hello chappies!

since i'm supposed to be providing local knowledge (god help you all....) i thought i'd add that i am coming along, complete with beacon hair colouring for ease of identification (undecided what colour yet, suggestions are welcome) and will provide some better directions closer to the time.

there's lots of camping (apparently pete's going to organise this so we're all in the same place, which is good, cos it'll mean i won't have to haul beer to more than one location!) but there are also some nice hotels for those of you who prefer not to be quite so close to the floor!

feel free to pm me and i'll point you in the right direction. alternatively stick carnforth/silverdale hotels into google and ip dip sky blue the results!

adios amigos, see you in a few weeks!

This is just a quick note to declare my intentions for attending. The only problems will be we are well into the swing of the football season by then and I am involved with teams on Saturdays and Sundays so i'm not sure when i'll make it.
Either way, I will travel up and not be staying over so no need to worry about a place to kip for me.
