mrsnesbitt Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I have posted a seperate thread as I didn't want to go off topic on the North Yorkshire Break thread..... I know lots of us have downsized, pulled our horns in and priorotised our spending...and holidays are expensive! So how do you fancy a chicken convention here? We have a paddock to accomodate tents, I also have neighbours with similar facilities who would allow camping on their land.....there would be room for your igloos too............. We have a fantastic village hall with superb facilities ie state of the art kitchen............if we could find a suitable week in the school holidays I could get a programme together. I could arrange for some after dinner talks/discussions at the village hall and the main meal could take place there.family stuff etc. If people wantd to bring wine to the evening do's this isn't a problem...it would be rented by me, as a private function. We have a local pub so if you fancied a night off with your loved one I am sure we could arrange a baby sitting network, ie if there was a talk/discussion going on your kids would be catered for. It's just a thought, but I think it has legs. We are 5 minutes from the beach.................a quiet fishing type beach, quiet and free! Any thoughts?

Lesley Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Sounds like a great idea Denise. Did you mean this summer school holiday? We're already quite committed through 'til September. Are there any B&B's nearby? - I don't 'do' tents anymore - too old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Yep could sort out B&B's......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Sounds like a great idea, though I too am pretty commited over the summer. Maybe a weekend would be easier to fit in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happymama Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Love the idea, but also agree that a weekend would be easier. Unfortunately, with three kids and a dog we couldn't possibly fit the eglu and chickens in unless we bring the trailer (now there's a thought) as we have a twin pram as well. BTW - where are you?

Cate in NZ Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I'm on a similar vein to the others, sounds like a great idea, but school holidays are pretty filled now because of the need to ferry poor children around the country to relatives willing to have them for a week or whatever to help out with childcare. 7 weeks holidays- nightmare time for working parents without local family A weekend might be good fun though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Yes, a great idea. Both my husband and I would happily come up for the weekend, either camping or B&B, if time allowed us. We are pretty booked up in July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 ok...weekend then.............yep this is me, mrsnesbitt......but can't get in.so to speak! When would a good/suitable weekend be? WQe are between Guisborough and Whitby, the B1366, off the A171! Dxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 September weather is usually quite settled as is October? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsnesbitt Posted June 17, 2005 Author Share Posted June 17, 2005 September then? Weekend? Say last weekend in September...or half term in October. Depending on numbers I could sort B&B out. There are a number of my neighbours who would let people stay in spare rooms........... A few of my neighbours have holiday cottages............... Loadsof my neighbours have land for camping. So really I think I could sort out whatever anybody wanted. I could do a treasure hunt for adults and also one for kids. On foot... We could have a barn dance on the Saturday night.I know a caller. Bring your own booze type of thing and I, along with a few neighbours would provide a lovely buffet supper! How does it sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 the 24th and 25th are the last Saturday and Sunday in September. It would fantastic for us - my birthday weekend! I also think the October half term is a good idea. We're happy to come on either of those dates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
