Van-Isle Cachers

THANKS TO ALL for making it a tremendous success...If you weren't there...check out the logs and plan to be there next year!

Well, after trying to find an available, suitable alternative location, we had decided this evening to throw in the towel, and cancel...then along comes eroyd's post...and after another conference call we says...what the heck, we've still got the reservation, it'll cost less than camping anywhere else, rather than cancel, we'll just do it anyway. So Newcastle it is...September 1st, Start time to be negotiated once we know how many will show, but figure early afternoon. We're planning some events so we REALLY NEED TO KNOW HOW MANY!!!! We are planning a potluck dinner where everyone brings their own main course, plus a salad, appy or desert to share. Once the page is active again, it'll come up here...THE PAGE LINK If you could post a note on the webpage saying... How Many If You'll stay over What you'll bring to share for the potluck ...that'd really help us, and it'll give others an idea of how many others they'll see, what's still needed for the potluck, etc. Just one thing...Captain No Beard Says "If anyone else trys to bring rice crispy squares, I'll keel haul 'em" Quote...Really, he made me say it! I'll post another copy of this message on the other board, so you may get it twice, and heck if you show up twice, that's twice as good!

We're working on a new location...will post by weekend!

We are in search of a better location that can accommodate us, will post a new location time etc. to the Website by weekend. Thanks

Given the few responses that are not in favour of the Newcastle Experience, we have decided to post a poll. It is at this page. We are now leaning towards scrapping the group campout, and just doing an afternoon/evening event and letting people choose their own camping / breakfast arrangements. Please post a response to the poll ASAP, we must make the final decision by Wednesday.

We who are trying to organize the event have been taking a little flack regarding a location for the event. We would like you all to choose the appropriate answer below, Thanks for your input, Decision Day will be Wednesday.
