Mere Bash

What with the cancellation of the HomeGrown, there is at least an alternative. The Avon Club are running the annual Mere Bash, about 30 miles south of Bristol. Its a mega fun event, and we will have three bands this year, in our marquee. Cheap beer, bouncy Castle for the kids, and a good laugh is guaranteed, whatever the weather.

Feel free to come on down.

Heres a message from Richard Danbury, the Chairman

This year the club committee is again organising the legendary Mere Bash to mark the end of the summer. If you’ve been before you’ll know that it’s a party to end all parties, with bands, bonfire, barbeque, bouncy castle, and best of all – cheap beer! It takes place in the bottom landing of the historic Rifle Range at Mere, just off the A303 in Wiltshire. Mere has been used for free flight ever since the early days of hang gliding, so it’s a fitting place to celebrate our sport.

The Bash takes place on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 September, with the entertainments reaching their peak on Saturday evening. Children are most welcome to run riot too, and most years the bouncy castle sees some pretty punishing use.

Tickets will be £10 in advance and £15 on the door, with children under 16 free. For that you get to camp Saturday night, hear live music, slap your meat on our huge barbeque, and you get the best atmosphere you’ll have experienced all year. For tickets and further information, contact Ali Lees, your Social Secretary at socialsec@avonhgpg.co.uk, or contact any member of the committee through http://www.avonhgpg.co.uk/contacts.php?menu=3, or just reply to me. I do hope you can come.
