A Time, A Place

Right, folks!

[livejournal.com profile] nopseud and I have done much scouring of the internet, and have in fact found a place that looks perfect for this year's Camp Sparkle. SThe one possible disadvantage is that it's in the same general area as last year's Camp Sparkle—on the other hand, it's a very convenient area, whether you're, say, driving a minibus or getting a train or plane, and there's still *plenty* that we haven't explored around there. Oh, and it has a hot tub. Best of all, if there are twenty of us it will work out at just £61 per head - an incredible bargain compared to everything else we have found.

So nice is the place, indeed, that it is mostly booked already. I've just spoken to the owner and put in a provisional booking for the week of 7th-14th May, so what we need to do now is figure out if that week will work for Camp Sparkle, so that I can either confirm and pay up the booking deposit, or book for a week in, let us say, mid-September instead.

So what we need to know is - can you make it for May 7th, or shall we make it September (same rate as May, or possibly cheaper) instead?

[Poll #1513573]

Please comment with whatever extra information there may be - eg you can only make it for the weekend in May but could manage a week in September, or, you can't possibly do September so May is your only option—whatever.

Well, there's usually a daytrip or two during the week, and we went to Chatsworth and Alton Towers last year; we're in the same town this year...

..Who's up for some dual cathedral/castle action, with added Charlie?

*puts mouse ears on Charlie*
(OMG, THE CASTLE!)

oh my God. I can just SEE the reaction of the locals. No change of facial expression, no interest, nothing. It'd be awesome, you and I cracking up on the side and everyone else wearing their 'stupid Americans' expression.

HAH.

Sounds like a challenge.

The CASTLE!! Heheheheheheee! I have the pictures from that trip somewhere 'round here, I must dig them out. Wonderful memories!

The castle in Lincoln is much less impressive than the one in Florida, mind, but it's nice nonetheless. You know, for a tiny little castle.
