Barbie Sat evening 25th Aug on return to campsite from 18:00 on.
Note: As we must respect the rights of other Canavaners & Camping people on site, loud music from vans and raucous behaviour are not acceptable.
Better to put this out front so we all know the rules in advance.
Again advise numbers intending to camp asap.
We had >40 aircooled bugs & buses, campers in 2017 show let's beat that this year.
Regards,
Eamonn

OK time for a list, who's going camping in Sligo on the last weekend of August 24th-26th? This was a great event last year and well organised by Eamonn and Hugh.

Hi, I’ve recently moved to Mayo from the UK and am hoping to bring my 1979 camper over before 25th (if I can work out how to register it in Ireland). Would this event be suitable for kids?
thanks in advance

Hi All, Checked weatherforecast. A bit of precipitation ( rain to you & me) Friday night, Sat & Sun fine days, Temp 14 deg C. So weather looks good. So as Brian says above "who is going camping ?"
Appreciate responses now please so we can go to the Campsite and secure space for the committed campers. Counting Brian, myself, Hugh & 'baglady', that's 4 and reliably informed to provide for 5 from NBOC that's 9. If you're not in you can't win. Regards, Eamonn
