Kelmarsh 2012-Whats Brown and Sticky?A fun night and day out at Kelmarsh 2012! The "accommodation" The car park river beautiful views from the marquee Happy go lucky visitors Phoenix boat ahoy! A lovely day at the beach What jolly fun Swimming pool available to patrons Sleeps 3 (trout) Atlantis rises Enjoy a spot of fishing Just arrived by U-Boat Bolt Action Table Bolt Action Table Cowboys and Indians Cowboys and Indians WAB WAB WAB (With a couple of wa....never mind) Indiana Carl and the Quest for the Dry Shoes Off to fit the snorkel attachment to his car What a washout! It rained non-stop all night and started up again the next day after a brief lull. I was so soaked and tired by the end I bolted and forgot my suitcase! (Thanks Paul!) We had a good time regardless, thanks for a fair old laugh the night before. Everyones spirits were still high even though nothing could take place. See you all there for 2013 (Bring flippers) Pete

cheers Pete fantastic pics. and if you look at the chaps bib who's driving the cart the letter 'T' is covered and aptly the new word can be pronounce "SEAWARD".
mind you, you surely have to admire the gaul in standing in the middle of a lake and thumbing a lift from a golf buggy. as i always say, if you ask the worst answer is a no, and this time they took pity on a drowning man with bin liners for waders.
the best line of the weekend in my opinion was this morning when a guy was walking past the front of the marquee and when he looked towards us, Michael said to him;-
" i think it's brightening up, should be ok in an hour"
the look the guy gave him was priceless and i was almost wetting myself with laughter.
as Pete said, we had a cracking time last night despite the weather and it's all systems go for 2013.
all those who were going to run games this weekend should get first refusal for next year in my opinion.

What a shame!
I know you guys always put a lot of effort in to this event and to have to cancel it because of the weather must be gutting.
Cold comfort I know, but as you've already said there is always next year...

the moral is take a bed that is off the floor or a pop up tent / MASSIVE groundsheet.
although too be fair, the rain was massively excessive for July, although it had been raining for weeks now
