August 8th.
Just to let you know, I have spoken to the Park and it has been 100% confirmed that everything is fine for our trip in August. There is no need to worry about any changes and the format will be the same as usual (Camp Oakwood, party on Mega, etc). So start planning!

First year as a club member so never done Mega-GLOW-Mania before.
During the bash festivities I will have to seek advice on all things Mega such as camp oakwood (tent) or bluestones accomodation (in which case I will need to find others to share), the art of tent erecting before and after collapse(!!!), barbeque specialities aka burnt offerings, and so much more!

I'm camping as usual don't worry. The Blue Lagoon is a swimming pool/indoor water park that we could do on the Sunday. Just an idea?

I got my invite today
I just need to get my mate to decide whether he is coming with me or not now.
Has anybody any ideas for 'extension trips' (hint hint) Coney Beach and Barry Island hardly seem worth re-visiting. Looking at the roller coaster database, Brean and Weston-Super-Mare seem the only sensible possibilities for those of us from the North.

Mine arrived too, but Paul and I will not be attending.
Please note, although the invitation says Sarah B, it's Ian who's organising camp.

Hi Sarah, it'a a shame you and Paul can't make Oakwood. The last time I saw you both was at the blackpool bash. I guess the next time may now be Loopathon?
I'm still pondering attending Mega-glow-mania and trying the camp oakwood experience, but nothings certain just yet. If I do the 'camping' bit then I will need to buy all the bits 'n' pieces. Tents go up real easy, right
The ten pin bowling and crystal maze challenge sounds great. It may be time for the Frosty 'spinners' to knock those pins a' flying - virtual FB bowling has nothing on the real thing.
As to transport, unless there's space on offer with others heading out from London, then I will take the car, which will have space for 3-4 others. I'm not sure what time people normally arrive at the camp site, but that may be explained once I email for details as per the invite.
So, if anyone is contemplating going to Oakwood on the Friday, heading out from London along the M4 route, and their transport is not fully planned out, feel free to msg me.

There are always lots of members around that can help with putting up tentage, however if you have not yet purchased one i would highly reccomend buying a quickdraw tent. you can find these on the Argos website !

I will be thinking of you all having fun down there
And I hope the weather is good for y'all, especially those brave souls in Camp Oakwood
Have a few rides on Mega for me.
See you all at Loopathon

I am in the same situation as the Guru, I have to go away with work that weekend which is a real shame.
Good luck to everyone who is going and I will see you at AT in October
