Hi all,

Tents OK - Four Pounds for the week-end at the Rugby Club, but please book in advance as you will need a pass to get onto the club site.
Caravans and Campervans very close to full, but Indoor Camping still OK.

There is no bus, it really isn't too far to walk, no more than about 10 mins from most venues and just 3 or 4 mins from The Black Bank, and quite frankly we can't afford it! (The infrastructure costs, room hire, licences, PRS, insurance and the like have risen over 1000% for us in the last 2 years - yes 10 times as much as in 2004, and that's before we get the inevitable "extras" that always seem to crop up)

What will be particularly nice with the Black Bank is that we can have good pub sessions friday and saturday evenings safely away from the town centre, and close to both the Rugby Club and the Indoor Camping (and there is a late licence!).

As usual the turning on of the Christmas lights will happen on the saturday evening, and there will be a fun fair and lots of charity stalls in the town centre plus a firework display. The nice guys from our local radio station will be putting up a stage in the town centre which will be used for the festival and for other activities during the day.

All we need is some of that nice weather we had at Banbury last week-end (did anyone bottle any?)

Cheers

Malc.
