Is the campsite in the park still open? Maybe we could make it an overnight trip.

If you cant get in there, I could always cut a patch in the undergrowth at the back of my gaff where you could pitch your tent. :-)

We have all the facility's you need, shower and toilets on site, play area with swings for the kids, Marcos that needs rewiring, shops close by.

Prices reasonable, barter accepted.

TMG, if the wiring for the showers is anything like your handiwork over the cooker, I'll give it a skip, thanks!

Hope the Clubman "very Glas" with the "cáiliní dearg" is ok and back to normal Paul, ha ha.

I say it again, those who dont attend events are missing out on some great craic.
