Help needed - Join the Team

So that Rachel and Mark are not left with all the work, we would like to form a small team to cover:

If you are willing to help will you please let Anthony know.

Accomodation

Pitches are available for camping. Rooms at the farmhouse are available for families with small children, if they have no tents. A crèche will be available on Saturday morning. If it is wet, we are considering the possibility of hiring a local village hall. (12.30-4.30).

Cost

To cover the cost of a marquee (if there are large numbers), the cutlery, the crockery, the food and other incidental expenses, we will have to make a small charge for the weekend.
The price will depend on the number of people who come but will probably be between £15-£30 per person, children half price. Infants under 5 will be free.
This will cover all food requirements from Friday evening until Sunday lunch + picnic - what a bargain!

R.S.V.P.

We would appreciate it if you could tell us if you are interested in receiving any further information. Let us know how many of you will be coming and which events interest you as soon as possible! You will also need to tell us whether you have any special dietary requirements.

Have fun!Yes! there are walks!
