It's time to start filling the diary with your adventures for 2017 and I have updated the OP reflecting a slight change in the first Long Itch event of 2017. I am now looking at the weekend of 5
th - 7
th May and not the 12
th - 14
th as previously indicated.
I am still proposing the mini tour if anybody is interested to Suffolk for the following weekend but that is up for you guys to indicate your willingness and availability to tour as well as for attendance in Suffolk for the following weekend. Camping fees at Long Itch have been maintained at £5 per adult per night in spite of indications of an impending price hike.
One of the many stand out events at Long Itch weekends is the main event, a skillshare held on the Saturday evening.
This year I have something very special in the making which is about 95% confirmed. The upside is that you will be thoroughly entertained for about 90 minutes by a most engaging, amusing, humble, thoughtful and good natured person. The downside is that it might come at a cost, an entry ticket fee of £10 max. I may even need to take advance payments on this one.
Now, it's not worth speculating because I will confirm the identity of our speaker once it is firmed up. However, without giving the game away yet I am pretty sure that you will want to be there for the Saturday evening main event as this has been a whole year in the making. Even if you don't want to be there for the camping, cycling and bon homie for the rest of the weekend, you surely will not want to miss this.
I might be able to reserve the entire field with enough advance notice so, why not take a small risk and book yourselves in.
It's time to start throwing in your helmets into the ring. Are you in?
