Hi all, I have just read through the original post for this event and it says tents can be set up Saturday morning. Does this mean we are not meeting up on Friday night?

Both Richie and me would like to thank everyone who came to our event this weekend and also your lovely comments. We continue to be amazed by how many of you still enjoy coming, and it was great to meet some new people this year too. It certainly turned out to be a very busy weekend for everyone with plenty of laughs along the way. If you are planning to come along next year get it in your diaries now, it’s the second weekend of August. I am also relieved that everyone eventually got home safety in the end. Hopefully catch up with some of you soon at one of the meets. xx

Great to see you arrived safely Richie, see you all tomorrow and hopefully no breakdowns - but first a different sought of horse power on Friday for a some of us girls

Thank you everyone for being organised and letting us have your food orders and thanks again for supporting this event again.

Alan, thank you for your kind message. It is a pity you cannot be there but we will do another.

Looks like we are going to have an enjoyable Sunday with the Fforest Coaster ride. Its gone down well. We shall need to arrive by 12.15 for our 1pm timeslot so a leisurely drive over to look forward to. We have managed to get a 15% discount so £17.00 for a single sledge and £25.50 for a shared sledge if my calculations are correct. Food for the Saturday. Once again this is at the Canolfon Prysor Centre on the Trawsfynydd Lake. The format, to keep it simple, is the same as last year. They have a note of dietary requirements so will cater accordingly. Cost £10.50 per person – (child portions can either be done from the choices below at £6.00ish or there is a childrens menu with the usual stuff which they can do on the day –If you need to know the exact child menu choices we will post them up We don’t need to know adult choices just yet so plenty of time to have a think but will need to know a couple of weeks before. Lasagne Sausage Egg Chips Ham Egg Chips Beef & Ale Pie with gravey Chicken, Ham and Leek Pie with gravy To follow Fruit Crumble with custard (apple and blackberry I think) Cheese Cake with cream Ice Cream

Just thought I would give you an update on the Wales Trip. Two adults and two children have signed up to do Pony Trekking on FRIDAY 10 August. This is taking place at Bwlchgwyn Farm, Fairbourne, Gwynedd LL39 1BX. Tel: 01341 250 107. We are booked in for 12 noon and the trek starts at 12.30. The cost is £35 for a novice beach ride (me) and £50 for an experienced ride. We are all in the same group just splitting up during the beach experience. If anyone else is interested just call the number above and book yourself in (mention Jackie Pipkin – I spoke to Gemma). The trek is approximately 2 hours. I am travelling up Friday morning separately from the Robin Hoods and meeting the others en route. http://www.bwlchgwynfarm.co.uk/index.php/horse-riding/pony-trekking On Sunday 12 Aug – We are looking at doing the Fforest Coaster Ride at Betws y Coed. They have timeslots on every hour and we are going to try and book on to the 12 noon session. This cost is £20.00 pp for 3 rides (9 yrs plus) or a shared sledge is £30.00 for 3 rides. This gets booked up very quickly so if anyone is interested in doing this can you either go on their website and book yourself in or let Richard know and he will do a block booking. If you don’t fancy the Fforests Coaster they have other activities there and they’ve got details on the website. I fancy the Tree Tops Zip course (hate heights but I’d give it a go). https://www.zipworld.co.uk/adventure/fforest-coaster We will try and firm up the menu choices for the Saturday afternoon / evening food later this week and get them posted so people can let us know what they want .

Hi Derek, Can I have Hunters Chicken with salad - no chips. Thank you

Hi everyone As I was in Wales this week Dee, Paige and me called in at the Trawsfynedd Cafe for lunch and saw Beth and Malcolm. They are very much looking forward to seeing us again in August. We discussed some menu options which we will post up later. If anyone has any dietary requirements we need to be aware off please can you PM me and I will make Beth and Malcolm aware. Jackie
