for those of you with long memories last summer icklesop suggested we have a tmp camping trip. There was a lot of interest at the time so I've been in touch with several campsites to see what we could organise. The weekend suggested by most of the sites is August 20th -22nd. The idea is we would arrive on Friday. Spend a couple of hours rehearsing on Saturday then give a concert in aid of a charity of the campsites choice on Sunday afternoon. Whenever possible I've looked for a site that has a bar/clubhouse to give us somewhere to play as well as socialising and I've also tried to find sites that have static caravans on site to give us an audience as well as facilities for the family when possible. Below is a list of sites that can accomodate us. So please vote and let me know where you'd like to go. Most of the sites do wants us to books as early as possible as august is their busiest time and I'd also welcome any suggestions or comments you'd like to make

NeilW's field, Studley Green
tmp member Neilw has kindly offered us the use of the field next to his house free of charge. There is one outdoor toilet and shower there. It has been suggested that if we go here we put a collecting tin to cover the cost fo the water, heating for shower ect. Neil is willing to open a drain for disposal for those who have elsan toilets. We would have to hire the local community centre both for rehersal and the concert. I have been in touch with them and they would charge us £25 per session. We would also have to sort out publicity and tickets for the concert ourselves. Neil also has a private heated swimming pool we can use and is quite willing for us to have fires/ barbeques etc.
Right now you've all got 1 month to say where you'd like to go
