Winspit

[watervole]

As summer approaches, one's mind naturally turns to the key event of the summer season - the annual shoot-out at Winspit quarry!

The Dorset fans have been doing this for more years than I can remember and in the last three or four years, we've often had a good turn-out from friends in other parts of the country as well.  All are welcome, crash space can be found for anyone wanting to stay overnight.


The annual Winspit super-soaker fight will take place on Saturday 9th August.

Prepare to get soaked, laugh a lot, enjoy the fantastic view over the sea, and have a great time with fellow fans.

Meet at Wareham station at 12 noon; bring a pack lunch, a dry t-shirt to change into, sturdy footwear (for running around caves in), a super-soaker (painting it black is useful, though not essential), a container to carry water, and a towel!

Lifts can be provided from the station.  Just let me know you are coming and I'll pair up people with cars with people needing a lift.  You can also phone my mobile  - 07759 784901

Now that sounds like fun :))

Oh balls, it's on the same day as the "cousinade" in France :(

If you can make it, it would be great. However, do note that the venue is not baby-safe as there's a hundred foot cliff to fall down....

That sounds like the most fun ever!

It is! The caves are very dark at the back and you can hide and ambush people who haven't got night-sight yet.

You can hide behind pillars and shoot friends. You can run around in the open outside the caves. The view over the sea is fantastic!

The sun almost always shines on us.

Hunting fans in caves? Fantastic!

Would you mind an invasion of Tolkien Society folk?

[watervole.livejournal.com]

BE delighted!

The more the merrier - and we're nearly all Tolkien fans at heart.

Just let me know near the time how many to expect and if anyone needs a lift from the station. (The caves are at Worth Matravers, but we find it useful to rendevous at Wareham station in case anyone needs a local guide)

Be aware that the roads can get very busy and that you should allow more time for getting to Wareham by car than you would guess from looking at the map.

That sounds fun, bit of a trek, but I shall suggest it to darling hubby and see what he thinks

Can easily be combined with some gaming on the Sunday if that's an inducement.

You know what?

It's been far too long since I last took my "Pulse Rife" out for a spin.

+1 Interested Party, and even more so if there's gaming on the Sunday (I call Orange if we play anything Catan-related!)

Misha,

Are you likely to arrive by train or by car? (Just working out transport)

I think we could manage a game of Settlers...

[multiclassgeek.livejournal.com]

I wish I could... But work have claim to my soul this weekend. That, and I have my Lumber Epidural on Thursday. Bummer, eh? Thanks for thinking of me, though.

Oh, and I'm sorry to report that Galaxy Truckers seems unavailable from our stockists. This is disappointing but unsurprising, given that it's currently impossible to order the Settlers of Catan base game...

[watervole.livejournal.com]

We'll think of you on Saturday.

Let me know if Galaxy Truckers comes into stock again (though it doesn't seem that likely...). We don't have a decent games shop down this way.
