The campsite will be available from Thursday 24th March – Tuesday 29th March 2016 It's a DIY do- bring yourselves, voices, instruments ,your tents, vans, caravans & kitchen sink! It's all FREE!!

09 Mar 16 - 12:12 PM (#3777669) Subject: RE: Easter 2016:Folking About in Anglesey! From: Mr Happy Weekend Workshops Every morning around dawn +/- 50m dash to facilities block, followed by hopping up & down with both legs tightly clenched while waiting for the sitting tenant to emerge. +/- 50m dash back to tent, having forgotten to bring paper [to read!] +/- 50m dash back to facilities block, followed by hopping up & down with both legs tightly clenched while waiting for the sitting tenant to emerge. This year, you may alleviate some of the strain via utilisation of entrance wall to sit on while waiting & take your mind off pressing concerns by gazing out to sea over the panoramic views of the bay! ********** Anyone have other suggestions for extramural activities, workshops etc? |
