Having said that I'm probably going to be one of these people that takes 3 years to pass

******UPDATE*******
Were looking at getting some permanent games onsite, so were after suggestions so we can sort them out with the budget.
Possible ideas
* Volley ball court (also can be used for devilstick STD Stick Toss of Death)
* Croquet (if thats how its spelt!?)
* Bowls

Is there an easy way to get from the train station to the venue? I've probably got a lift, but flakeability level is fairly high, so just want to know, just incase.

I would say its around a mile, maybe a little more from the train station..... unless you go off road! then its proberly about 3/4 of a mile. Wouldnt recommend that tho you may get bitten by an adder or shunted from a deer!!

Ah, but is it a straight road or are there twists and turns? Is there the option of a bus? Is the road skateboard frindly? Is it uphill or downhill?

well we have confirmation from 2 Canadians now coming over to teach workshops.
Yoyo & Hoop, both very experienced I'll try and get some more news together, we had a meeting last night and all is going roughly to plan maybe getting a giant Jenga set as well for the sheer hell of it
I will put some pictures up soon of the site (stolen from google Earth so people can get an idea of the size of the site and it's location.
