You might be a bit too tough and chewy...

Hi Dave,

We are actually completely fully-booked foronsite accomodation, but by chance I have just heard that Ian Mackay has had to cancel, so you can have his room, and I will try to cancel his room bookings for Friday and Sunday only. Cost is £26, and you can pay me on the day it that's easier - I will then arrange whatever refund I can (your £26 if nothing else!) to Ian.

Cheers,

Tim

Pete, Dave, Aladsair (& PAddy) - all noted, cheers.

Ian Mackay has had to cancel

Does this mean the Saga sessions on the Friday will not now happen?

Sadly, that seems to be correct. I will be there with my Welshmen (but no rules until Darth Mather arrives, as he has borrowed them). Tom Frankland will be arriving at some stage during the afternoon (I think) with his Saga troops, and he'll be the local expert (he's umpiring the Saga). At that point, I will be happy to lend out the boyos to anyone who wants to learn the ropes.

Unfortunately, I gather than Ian was given an ultimatum by his good lady that for reasons of his domestic security I will discuss in person rather than online.

I have had a couple of queries about arrangements when you get to LVS Hassocks - where to park, how to get in, etc. It's a much smaller site that LVS Ascot so you won't have any problems. The driveway leads into the main school area and there are only two main doors. I hope that we will have the doors open at the top of the main flight of stairs that leads to the hall where the FOG AM and FOG N will be, but it's all off one initial courtyard.

In case you need directions, the postcode is BN6 9HT. If you aren’t Satnav.ed:-

• Heading South down the A23 you turn off the A23 where you see a sign saying “Hurstpierpoint, Albourne, Henfield B2118” (there is a tiny little sign underneath the main one, saying “Sayers Common”).
• Follow the slip road around, over the main road, until you reach a roundabout, where you turn left “Hurstpierpoint, Albourne, Henfield B2118, Sayers Common”
• You are now in Sayers Common. Follow the road along and the entrance to LVS is the first major driveway on the right (it is signposted LVS Hassock quite clearly)
• Go up the school drive to the main school entrance and, park in the car park and come in through what is likely to be the only obvious entry!

All the accomodation blocks are under one roof within the main school building, albeit that the FOG R and FOW competitions themselves, will be in portacabin classrooms just out the back. I hope that you all enjoy it when you get there - it's a very interesting building (a former abbey!) and I am keeping my fingers crossed for fine weather to enjoy the countryside views around.

Cheers,

Tim

Thanks very much Tim. Sorry to hear Ian's had to cancel.
