Here it is folks, you've been incredibly patient, and let's be honest, you knew we wouldn't let you down.
Fal5 will not be taking place in Falmouth, instead the ever resourceful Ms Maus has secured us a sweeet spot to stay. It's a little further west, but be sure it's worth the tiny bit of extra effort.
The dates are Friday 14th April - Monday (Tuesday) 17th (18th) April.
We will be staying here and that means we will be spending a lot of time on this beach.
Campsite checks in at the bargain price of £4 per person per night, and they have the usual shower/toilet blocks.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO TELEPHONE THE CAMPSITE TO BOOK
The Wiki list (so's we know who's coming) is here
Nearest town and train station is Hayle so make sure not to go to my house by mistake, as I won't be there.
Any questions?

Money? I always need money.
I take it you mean for wood? Yeah, bring it with you. And the campsite money you give to them. Other money is optional, but will help with the purchasing of food etc.

***IMPORTANT,PLEASE READ***
Okay,everybody thats coming needs to put there names on the Wiki list (see page 1)as soon as they can,even maybes are a help as it means we can make sure theres a big enough pitching space for us all at the campsite.
I will now be collecting money from people at the campsite and will be there from early friday morning.Can anybody thats arriving before the friday morning please PM me.For people that are staying at the campsite until they leave for BJC, I need to know this when i'm collecting the money.Anybody who's stuck for a place to stay before BJC and can't afford to camp the whole time, i can squeeze a few in my place for a couple of days.Again PM me if you need this!!Can't think of anything else for now....Mags hows the fire wood situation?

No asda in Hayle but we have a co-op and a Lidl..
To be honest have already had a couple of offers from people bringing their own transport as far as taxi-ing people goes so nobody should have to taxi it but if they do one of my friends is a taxi driver in Hayle so will sort you out with mates rates...will give him a call and hassle him about that actually!!

Kels, you're such a little marvel.
Firewood is still being sorted, but I've got a couple of leads. Will post as soon as it's sorted. Trust me, it will be sorted.

Mags, are we allowed fires at the campsite? or are were you thinking more of beach and dunes.
If it is the latter then I need to put more effort into finding alternative places for the kids to be at night.

you mean like really big cooking fires???
don't suppose anyone knows of any cheap b and b or caravans near gwithian do they? I've done a bit of googling but not come up with much.
As my master plan is to get zen's dad to book in somewhere with the kids and have them at night.

He does, but no longer has a big stockpile of spare stuff.
I'm hoping to get a tractor-trailer load delivered to the campsite on the friday, and we'll have to transport it to the beach as we need it.
