Supersoaker Fight 15 August

[watervole]

It's that time of year again!

The time when a number of my cheerfully insane friends come along to Dorset and spend a summer afternoon shooting at one another in dark caves on the beautiful Purbeck coast.

You are invited to the annual supersoaker fight in Winspit quarry (caves) on Sat 15 August.

Meet 12 noon at Wareham station in Dorset.

Tell me what means of transport you will be using. Car lifts from station to quarry will be provided for people arriving by train.

Bring a pack lunch and drink, supersoaker, water containers for spare ammunition (plastic milk bottles are quite good), dark clothing, spare t-shirt and good shoes/boots for running on uneven ground in the dark.

Crash space is provided for anyone wishing to stay overnight and we have a large supply of board games (and poi).

The closest station to our house is Poole, but a return to Wareham will go through Poole.

You know you'll enjoy it, because lots of you have in the past!

Let me know if you're coming, remember that if you're coming by car you need to add half an hour to your estimated travel time to allow for the slow traffic on sunny days into the Isle of Purbeck.

Could someone in ZZ9 please post this to the bounce.

I'd love to, but unfortunately we already have plans for that weekend.

*sigh*

One of these days, I'll manage to make it to this event. Unfortunately, I will be at the Auto Assembly (http://www.autoassembly.org.uk/) convention in Birmingham that weekend.

Is this an open Fandom invite ? We can tweet it out ...

[gaspodex.livejournal.com]

People are more aware of it too since Wiffle Lever

[watervole.livejournal.com]

No. It's open to ZZ9 members and anyone who regularly reads my LJ. (and anyone who asks really nicely, but I don't want to risk getting swamped)

[gaspodex.livejournal.com]

Ok dokey ...

I'll be there at Wareham station as usual. I'll bring my supersoaker for anyone to borrow, but I won't be doing any actual supersoaker fighting because my chances of falling over in the dark on an uneven floor are far too high. Plus I can't run at the moment :)

Ni, what method of transport are you using? Just mentally allocating seats in cars.

Alas I'll be getting wet surfing at Croyde in North Devon that weekend :-/

We're provisionally interested, but it will be subject to a seriously unwell mother. Though, even if we're visiting her we'll be in the vicinity (Bournemouth).

[watervole.livejournal.com]

Fingers crossed. You can let me know very close to the time and still be okay.

[watervole.livejournal.com]

Do you know if you can make it tomorrow? If so, will you be arriving by car, or will you need a lift from the station? (We've got car spaces available if needed)

It would be good to see you.

[sigisgrim.livejournal.com]

Still not sure, probably won't know until this evening, by which time I'll be out of Internet access. I'll send you a message in a moment with my mobile number. I've got Henry's number somewhere, but I think it's at home, it's not on my mobile. If you could send me a number to call I'll be able to let you know.

We'd be arriving by car.

Thanks. I'll be in touch later on.

Definitely cannot make it this year as Grandpa is coming over from Spain. Have an excellent time!

[watervole.livejournal.com]

Can you post to the ZZ9 bounce for me?

[mingmerciless.livejournal.com]

Alas, unlikely to be able to make it as I'm currently due to be flying out to the Philippines that weekend (work, sadly...).

[julesjones]

It would appear that I *can* make off with the car overnight, so it should be feasible for me to come along.

[watervole.livejournal.com]

Excellent!

[aeglefinus.livejournal.com]

Have posted it on the ZZ9 bounce.

Sadly the weekend clashes with many other things this year, and I'm not entirely sure my current round of joint issues will have settled enough for that much exertion either.

I had fun last year though.
