Anyone who wants to join me and my friends is welcome. Just let me know and I'll pm my mobile no. to you all. Mobiles are only banned at certain times, not all the time I'm sure. Saucy will know for sure but I don't know if I would go if they were banned full stop. There could be an emergency with my kids or anything that I would need to know about.

Mobiles are only banned in the workshops. Cameras are banned on the whole site period. Look forward to seeing people down there.

Cant wait to meet all u lot!! We just have the best nights on the door. The 1st year I went, I booked a posh b&b but ended up kipping in my car at 5am. Last year, I just turned up without any sleeping arrangments and shared a tent with 6 of my friends. Gotta tell u somit....u had to be there to appreciate this but the 1st year...about 3am, we were all sat at the gate in the welcome tent, getting drunk and having a bbq, when I quietly mentioned we should do somit really silly. Away in the distance there were a load of people sat around a camp fire. So......about 6 of us snuck up on them and in TOTAL silence (apart from very stifled giggles) we approached them and did a war dance around their camp fire and then just walked away. They were so stunned, they didnt say a word to us rofl! I laughed so much that I actually wet myself. It was running down my leg....I lost total control of my bladder hahahahha!! This year, we have a fridge/bbq/booze/glitter ball/music etc, so if ur staying over, ul know where we all are. I got swooped saturday morning and spent 25 hours locked up last year. Got the MPV back 8 weeks later Had a good night with Rich, Johnny and the rest though. Matilda scratched the backend of our car and tryed to hump me

Was that for doing something wrong or simply being there? I am a little bit nervous, but I really want to go. Try not to put me off, please!

No it wan't for being at the gathering. The gathering went very well with no police coming onto the site. As you will know the police were around but that is to be expected with a large amount of activist about. I was nicked for some SHAC demos I did early that year. You really should come down it is a good event. I was the man who got charged under these new AR laws. Infact all the locals love us for the local boost to the ecconomy. I bet the local shop get in more veggie vegan stuff this year By the way for any veggies that might be going. It is a totally vegan site. No milk, Marion rescues cows from slaughter etc Last year she rescued a fawn that had to have its back leg off due to a trap. I have some pics. I will try dig them out and post for you. It is a great place.

Cool - feel better for knowing that Shame you missed most of it, by the sounds of it. So do the police hang around outside and nab anybody they recognise that the want a word with? That won't be me, at least, as I am never naughty! Just be a bit sad if it happens to other people.

He will probably be ok with it if its for the day. I will ask him tonight. I tried last night but he was either drunk or asleep. (The collar and lead did me NO good at all last night Pob!! ;D).

You couldn't tell? You have to stay over at least one night, and have a few beers with us. Plus each day starts very early in the morning with a bit of exercise before breakfast.

That won't be me, at least, as I am never naughty! Just be a bit sad if it happens to other people. I think it was just to try put a spanner in the works to be honest and they had a big opperation going on around me and my wife. But we also played a part in the gathering last year. Setting up, building the showers, electrics keeping the volunteers fed etc. We arrived a couple of weeks before the kick off and our 7 seater was a god send, seats down to use as a van and when people started to arrive we took turns driving to and from the station picking people up. The police had plenty of time to arrest me but they chose the busy time The police are not "all over the place" but they are there and it will be more intelligence gathering than anything else. But yes people are very much left alone. I will be going through my charges and how it affects activists in relation to the new laws. Since we have all our "evidence" deps we have a good indication how they are trying to play with the new laws and what it mean leaglly. You are all welcome to attend. The laws sound bad but you only have to look through our paper to know it a load of crap. I don't wat to say much since I will be doing a workshop on it at the gathering. Look forward to seeing you. My gob is worse than my bite! I say it as I see it without thinking but the heart is in the right place.

I built the showers last year and they did very well. We are going to have the same shower block but since they are cold showers there will be a hot shower powered by a log stove. We had a problem with sinks last year so I am going down to plumb some sinks in for hand/face washing. All facilities are basic but we have to remember that it is a sanctuary for 361 days of the year so its not got permanent blocks. Lots of animals pigs, hens, cows, dogs and a three legged deer.

Oh excellent, thanks Vaiovegan. Will definitely be going then. Also, think a cold shower at this time of year sounds more preferable to a hot one to be honest!
