:ILU:The last Sunday meet of the year so please everyone try and join us!

It will be great to catch up before the craziness of the Christmas period!

Hamsterely Forest is a delightful 2000 hectare oasis, sprawling along the sides of a sheltered valley. We know it seems a little far for some to travel and we do understand that diesel doesn't grow on trees but it would be lovely to meet up in a different and new surrounding.

The forest boasts some beautiful walks and cycle tracks. There is also a park for the children and a café that apparently sells some scrummy cakes!

We can meet in the carpark nearest the children's park at 2pm. There is a small £3 charge for parking. This covers your access to the forest for the full day.

We do hope as many of you can attend as possible as there is no camping trip planned for the rest of the year.

See you there!
