Can the NSC cope with the amount of visitors vehicles that such an event would hope to attract?

A mini bus service to the train station may be an idea, depending on feedback?

I hope to attend and hope that it is a success and that we see it repeated next year,

No problem - just make sure the temporary units are clean and sanitary PLEASE.

DM, Brilliant idea. I would drive if it was appealing enough but to take the train from Scotland to London then local train out to Bisley would be great. Free minibus would round it off nicely.
It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!

A couple of years ago while at SS with my club I needed the loo. Off I trotted to the little brick building. Due to the damp the door was very tight but as I had seen the gents using both cubicles I thought I had better shut it. Big mistake :oops: The door would not budge. :shock: I am not a panicky person and thought about it logically, shooting, noise, earplugs - not worth shouting so waited. Husband realised I was missing and came and rescued me. :)

The reason I mentioned the loos was because of the difficulty someone I know had in finding one to use a couple of weeks ago during the week. The Lord Roberts Centre wouldn't let him in, London and Middlesex where we usually go was in darkness and he was desperate. He found his way in but as he came out he was told he shouldn't be in there. Where is there a decent loo to use during the week?

There will be a park and ride system for Bisley Live but no info yet as to where it will be situated - at least not at my level :)

Elcho Lodge loos at the back of Stickledown range are open 24/7 365/6 days of the year and heated!

I'll get someone to look at the doors before we open the Siberia inconveniences, first week in March :)

The loos in A,B,C lines are now usually always open and the two at Melville have small heaters, and PIR lights so don't close for the winterIf you (or anyone else) have any other 'issues' please PM me and I'll do what I can but no false promises. :roll:

Thanks, I think they have been OK for a while now, someone must have trimmed the door. :)
