I always thought we met a bit later than 6pm but I might be wrong. I usually am.

No, we meet at 6pm, but some of us are still there at closing time... ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)
Do we have the book again this year? We normally have a guestbook kind of thing that's kept in the Tank venue, for any of us to write in messages or meet suggestions. Although I have a vague recollection of it going missing last year.

I've only popped in for the Saturday for the last couple of years. This time I'm there for the whole weekend. Hooray! I'll be staying off-site, though, so I won't be sharing the joys of waking up with a crick in me back and smelling putrid by Monday. Oh well, can't be helped. ![[Snigger]](graemlins/snigger.gif)

If anyone who is going wants my mobile number we usually have wine and cake at the tents at some point. All shipmates will be welcome, subject to usual vetting requirements and CRB checks. ![[Biased]](wink.gif)

Ditto with my moblie number, and I can direct you to Auntie Doris tent as she has everything (and more) that anyone could ever need when camping!

I'm currently trying to work out the logistics of getting down this year seeing as it doesn't look like I need to be anywhere else. Don't think I can be bothered to read all squillion pages of this to work out whether enough exciting/interesting people are going to be there to justify the hassle of getting there..... Or is it so long since I've been to a shipmeet south of the border that I won't recognise any of you anyway?!

Well you and Flausa I'm confident of, but I'm not sure I'd recognise the wee wan unless he was with one of you - last time I saw him he was just about walking around grabbing onto things, and I'm guessing by now he's running round causing havoc!
Not intending camping - seeing as my friends who live locally now have running water back and hence have showers, as well as soft things to sleep on with no risk of being rained on, I think I'll be staying there!
Geordie, are SOS playing - will I finally get to witness you skanking? (I'm guessing I might recognise you.....)

I will be skulking around the back of the stage, occasionally breaking into a tentative skank and leaving most of that to the younger, fitter members of the band.
I think we're on YMCA stage 4pm Saturday and 5pm Sunday. One of these will be a more old skool worship thing and the other more gig like with a bunch of new material.
And on Monday we're on at 9.30am on stage 2 with another worship slot.
And the ukelele orchestra of Great Britain isn't at greenbelt this year, so no one has an excuse for not coming to see us.

GDS I will make sure I make it to something.
Was good to bump into briefly in Notting Hill a few months back. Did you enjoy it?
We were we missed half of it, as the transport plans went a bit wrong, when they closed all the tubes down, but hey ho, we got there.
Wasnt quite what we were expecting either, but still, you guys were good as always lol...
glad you have got some gigs happening,
not long to go now till it all kicks off, i think i needed to get over my work camping ordeals to startlooking forwards to GB as quite excited now, hurrah.

Yeah, it was a fun one at Notting Hill, thanks for making the effort! We're quite often not entirely sure what we're going to end up playing at either but they were really good hosts.
No Ska mass this year I'm afraid. We're resting it for a bit.

Yes, it has been too long since we all got together. You'll probably have difficulty recognising the not-so-wee wan, as we were looking at photos from a few months back and being surprised by how much he's changed.

we had been expecting more of a youth event than an all age deal, but hey ho, it was good, and Dee who is the youth worker there is lovely. Glad you enjoyed it
has anyone said if and when there will be a ship meet yet, or is it assumed its the same as usual?

So who is collecting mobile numbers to coordinate the camp location? I still have some numbers left in my phone from last year.
I wont be able to make it to the campsite until after 4pm, so if someone could save me space for a one-person tent, I'd be very grateful.

Hi everyone - Not been able to access the ship at work, but I'll try and keep up with the thread.
I'll be at Greenbelt this year so I will look forward to meeting shipmates.
My church - Journey, is hosting a stations of the cross meditation in the New Forms area - I think on Saturday if anyone is interested.
Yay! Duke Special is on the main stage this year!

We are staying off site in a B&B again this year.
Does anyone want to borrow a tent from us? We are offering a two man dome tent again from Friday afternoon to Tuesday morning to a careful shipmate. If anyone wants to do this please PM me to make arrangements.

We'll be there, Travelodging off site as usual. I'm doing a 15 minute meditation at the Root & Branch zone in G:source on Monday morning at 10.00.
BTW, isn't G:source just ripe to be called G-spot? Although that would mean most men wouldn't be able to find it... ![[Devil]](graemlins/devil.gif)

I am reliably informed my wristband has arrived. I'm not entirely convinced TME's has, but that's another story.
Really looking forward to this now. There's nothing like living in the former Soviet Union for making the prospect of camping in a swampy field seem luxurious Can't wait.

JTL, I was at the racecourse on Sunday for the carboot sale. There was a regular seller there who had some 'fun handcuffs' for sale and, beside her was a chap who cuts keys and engraves things at a reduced price.
We will be there again this Sunday... just a thought
