Saturday Lowdown

On the 3rd July, the day before the Birdman Competition, we are having a gathering within Bognor Regis so everyone can sit and natter without the distraction of music, crowds and people jumping off piers etc that would obviously get in the way of proper ‘getting to know you’ type conversations! Below we have made two plans, one if the sun shines and one if (heaven forbid…) it rains

The main vibe of each ‘scenario’ is very chilled It will be a chance to rest up from travelling and prepare for the more taxing Birdman the following day, all while in the glorious company of your Brainfog buds

 


Operation: Sunshine


Due to the nature of the internet it isn’t wise to disclose the location of our Saturday meet openly on an open site like this. So, if you are coming to Bognor and will be around on the Saturday then you can email me for the details of our secret location.
This message will self destruct in 5….4….3….2….1….*kabooosh*

Things you will need to bring;

  • Food and drink or money to buy some on the day. I’m not sure if there will be vendors so a packed lunch is advisable but a walk to a local café could be an option if you are up to it.

  • Water. Be sure to bring extra with you as dehydration causes all sorts of trouble with your health.

  • Something to sit/lie on. If you want to bring a blanket, cushion, chair etc please do so as we can’t be sure of having a picnic table or enough space for everyone to sit at one.

  • Sun cream. This is a MUST and we advise you bring a factor of 15 SPF upwards

  • Hat, sunglasses , extra clothing if it becomes too hot and/or a fan. Please be sensible and prepare, as it is all too easy to under-estimate damage the sun can do, even in England

  • Any medication or inhalers. It is likely that the pollen count will be high so prepare with inhalers/antihistamines if you require them

  • Camera!!! Don’t forget it!!!!

  • Any games you would like to bring to entertain!

Of course this isn’t a definitive list, bring all you feel you need to bring and extra so you are prepared.

There will be two people people present will first aid skills, Sandy Petty (Mother of da Moose) and Judy Abraham aka 3flakeaday (Mother of the Bognor event organisor aka me). They are both healthy people and qualified to administer first aid. A fully stocked first aid kit will be present at both scheduled meets

This is just a request but as some people are sensitive to fragrances and hairsprays etc so if you could refrain from over use of such products it would certainly make the weekend more enjoyable for everyone. That means no beehive hair-dos for the girls and no brut aftershave dip for the guys.

There is no planned end to the meet so you can wander off when you feel it is time to leave, or go for a rest and come back later! The day is open to suit you and your needs.



Operation: Raincloud

Bognor Regis boasts the most sunshine hours in the country but, let's face it, we are still in England so there is always a chance of rain! If it does rain before 12.30pm on the 3rd July then you will receive a phone call and we will meet at a pre-planned location. I’m still researching where that place will be but you will be kept informed.

If it rains while we are at the park then a decision on where to go will be made there and then. You will be given numbers to call if you are unsure as to where you should be but hopefully it will be clear.

I’m looking for a place where we can buy food and drink so bring money if you wish to eat in-house


Transportation

There is NO official transportation to and from the park/indoor eatery, so you will be responsible for how you get there and back to your accommodation or anywhere else you need to be. It is wise to pre-arrange transport rather than ‘blag’ a lift on the day. If you end up with no confirmed transport, or dependant on someone else, bring extra money for a taxi should you need to leave urgently or become stranded
