Lincolnshire meets?

**Harb505** · 30-11-2011, 22:26

I'm not sure quite where Lincoln belongs, midlands or north (I've always said midlands) but anyway is anyone interested in a Lincolnshire meet? I don't know of any land we can use as of yet so if anyone thinks they can get access to some that would be brilliant. I've Pm'd a few people already about a meet so any additional interest would be great.
Or are there are any existing Lincoln meets?
Thanks for your time
Regards Mike.

This would interest me

I am in south lincs and have some thoughts on land

**Harb505** · 30-11-2011, 23:58

Great

well I have had 3 Pm's and told them about this thread so that's 5 people who might be interested.
I'm right outside Lincoln so anywhere travlewise is normally good for me.

**Pignut** · 01-12-2011, 07:58

Yep interested. And have land access.. but have a baby due in the next couple of months....... plenty of woodland around here though if anyone wants to meet for the day

**woof** · 01-12-2011, 09:09

This is sounding promising.

Well the land I had in mind is not appropriate because:
1) the access to the woodland is through a feild of relitevly 'fresh' cattle
and 2) it doesn't belong to the person who I thought it did, even though it's in the middle of his field.

**chu017** · 01-12-2011, 22:26

The land I had in mind is woods not massive but half mile from home
its owned by a community charity and thay have said free for use by anyone any time

**Harb505** · 02-12-2011, 00:22

Sounds promising

so how big is not big?

**SimonD** · 02-12-2011, 07:17

Good luck mate!

How about a meet somewhere local to us all (if that is possible) for a bimble.

**wattsy** · 02-12-2011, 12:43

i'm in lincoln stuck with public transport though so i'm fairly limited

**Pignut** · 02-12-2011, 15:25

I am only 25 mins from lincoln... Is a lincoln meet a possibility for everyone?

Anyone know any area aroind there

**stevied** · 02-12-2011, 16:43

Hi, I'm out at Grimsby if anyone is near by?

**Harb505** · 02-12-2011, 17:05

Right then we need:
1) To know for definate what land we are going to use.
2) A date?
3) A rough estimate of numbers.
4) Possible lifts for those using public transport?

Have I missed anything?

Sounds about right.

**stevied** · 03-12-2011, 10:42

I'm stuck with public transport at the minute but would like to attend. Are you looking at this side of christmas?

**Harb505** · 03-12-2011, 13:35

I'm booked up weekend wise this side of christmas plus it would probs be a bit short notice for most. Plus we need to know for sure what land we can use before we set a date. For now though probs best to leave date setting a week anyway just incase any more people show interest. I'll probs be bringing a friend with me so that brings our numbers to roughly 7 thus far.

**Pignut** · 03-12-2011, 18:41

Sure I will be bringing 2 or three folks

**Harb505** · 03-12-2011, 19:08

Thats ten...ish

If we can get this sorted this could be quite a good evening. How does mid-late Jan suit eveyone. It will give everyone time to recover from christmas/ new year so saturday the 14th, 21th or 28th? I know someone said they can only so alternate weekend.

i probably won't make jan as i'll have a newborn but definitely after that. and anywhere in mid lincs suits me.

**Harb505** · 03-12-2011, 21:37

Ok well we can see what other people say and go with a date that suits the majority and if it all works out and providing we can still get land access I can't see why we couldn't have more meets.

**stevied** · 04-12-2011, 12:30

Is there a scout camp we could hire anywhere? The one they use near Manchester (middlewood) is quite cheep.

**woof** · 04-12-2011, 13:02

There used to be one just out side Grantham, but i would'nt know who to contact.

Rob

**Harb505** · 04-12-2011, 13:49

I think there is one somewhere around Sudbrooke near Lincoln. I think I went there years of when I was in Cubs but I can't find it now. Does anyone know of it?
