EDITED!
Hello girls and boys, tis me again. I know you thought we'd stopped all this malarkey, but due to many organisational reasons Hellfire has been postponed until next year. Therefore, it seems like there is an opportunity to have another Cornwall-based fire jam this year.
After much intense discussion, the campsite at Gwithian has been booked for the 6th to the 10th of September
The campsite is booked from the Thursday night to the Monday night as usual, and we'll take it from there.
PM me with questions/advice or mail me on magsthejedi at hotmail . com
It's on...

If I can get a lift with someone who has room for a dog as well as me and my stuff that would be awesome

Falmouth is in Cornwall.
It's just a bunch of like-minded people getting together on a campsite to chill out hand have fun with each other and spinn round a camp fire on a beach at night.
This year I beleve the campsite is the same as it was for both Fal5 & 6. Which is Gwithian Farm, Gwithian.
The nearest train station is Hayle and the nearest big (ish) town for landmarks is St. Ives. Gwithian is on the near side of St. Ives bay, looking accross towards St. Ives itself.
Douglette, will be great to see you again, not seen you since my adventures began last year
I plan on driving down to this one also, but will be heading towards london way afterwards too meet some friends from Oz the weekend after this

Jake you big homo, you better not miss a Falmouth or i'm seriously gonna kick you in the hacky sacks.
The weather down here is being a bit wacky, but hopefully summer should have arrived by September.
As to what Falmouth is...
It's not really anything. It's certainly not the entertainment and arts extravaganza that Play is, but that's kinda what makes it fun. It's a bit more organic, like Steaks said, it's just a bunch of people getting together to play and lark about on the beach. The only cost is for the campsite, and you'll probably want to bring money for food and recreational poisons, although there may be a whip round for firewood, but we'll deal with that when we get to it.
Who wants to give me a lift from this to Bristol then?

I am going to have to pull out of going to this. A couple of things have gone against me so I can't afford to make it down and I can't drive due to not having a car.

wicked! if we get the earliest train we can be arsed to get, which is the 9am one, we should be getting there anytime after 4pm depending on how lazy we are or if there are any delays. but if let me know what time you're thinking of arriving at the campsite then we'll make sure we get there at least an hour after that

Sounds like a plan to me. I can't join you guys this weekend as I'm off visiting my lovely lady... and it's her birthday today so it's not one I can postpone!
Cake or Death?

I'm gonna need a lift but I've left it too late to organise one so probably bailing for this one too...
P.S. Jo can dogs attend the campsite?
