MK Summer Camp

Camp 2012 Info

admin — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 10:48:57 +0000

We’re really excited to announce the details for Camp 2012. As we expected, we’ll be heading to Folkestone, Kent, for 10 days in ‘the garden of England‘. Camp 2012 will start on Tuesday 24th July and end on Thursday 2nd August. Full details are predictably on the Latest Info page which we’ll keep up to date as Camp approaches…

The site is approximately 5 minutes walk from the beach at Sandgate and 20 mins walk to Folkestone town centre & seafront (and it’s almost entirely flat – nothing like the hills in St. Ives!). In addition to the showers/toilets, we’ll have access to a football pitch, tennis courts, a large playing field & running track. This will be the fifth time MK Camp has taken place at Folkestone, the previous four having be a great success. One activity which we only do at Folkestone is boating on the military canal – a great laugh, whatever the weather!

There’s a countdown to Camp 2012 in the top-right corner of the website (see above) to help you keep track of how long there is to go! We look forward to seeing you in Folkestone in July!! Look out for posters and Camp Forms in the weeks ahead…

Why not visit the Facebook event and let us know that you’ll be attending & see who else is going, or check out the ‘live’ photos from Camp 2009 in Folkestone (warning: photos feature a bare nipple, some ‘buttock engineering’ & a grown man snuggled under a blanket on the beach in blazing sunshine, cos that’s how we roll!)…

As a follow-up to the previous post, here’s the second animated photo taken on the last day of Camp. Just like the previous photo, this one reveals some interesting behaviour. Particular highlights to watch out for:

Sam ‘fingers‘ Kelk checking out Ashan ‘innocent-victim‘ Barnes
Jonny ‘metal‘ Evans letting rip with some head-banging
Sue ‘chatty‘ Gibbs still trying to engage the camera in conversation
Sian ‘three-arms‘ Wilkinson giving it all she’s got – and more!
Rebecca ‘funky’ Leeman doing some dad-dancing – nice
Miki ‘one‘ Nye, Elliot ‘two‘ Day & Vanessa ‘three‘ Tilley all dancing to their own head-turning beat
Paul ‘too-cool‘ Chickwende -it’s all about ‘me, me, me’ ;o)
Josh ‘strangely‘ Brown – you can see his heart beating through his hip
Chris ‘violent-disorder‘ Allen smacking Jade ‘I’m-a-boy‘ Espey & Sam ‘fingers‘ Kelk in the face
David ‘mind-my-teeth‘ Putman almost losing his teeth again!
Erik ‘still-itchy‘ Tsoi having a sneaky scratch on the other side

Here’s a small version to give you a taste – but be sure to click it and view the full size image. Let us know in the comments if you spot anything particularly amusing.

Official Camp Photo

At the end of Camp we all get together for the final Retreat Parade, then say our goodbyes, and pose for the end of Camp Photo. This year the camera took a few shots about a second apart, which when viewed in quick succession make for an interesting animated picture.

It reveals some interesting behaviour. Look out for these in particular:

Chris ‘Bieber‘ Allen tapping his foot along to some imaginary music
Barbara ‘Guppy‘ Bedford doing her impression of a fish
Josie ‘Matt‘ Leaver coming on to the camera
Sue ‘chatty‘ Gibbs greeting the camera with ‘hi, hi, hi’
Nat ‘dreamy‘ Bates & Nick ‘wrong-shirt‘ Buttenshaw playing invisible ball tennis with their heads
Katie ‘oi‘ Nelson telling off Ricky ‘false-grin‘ Rew for smiling
Eric ‘itchy‘ Tsoi having a sneaky scratch
Matt ‘fiance‘ Dungate repeatedly shouting ‘love, love, love’
David ‘lightning‘ Wright doing a split second smile
Rebecca ‘meow‘ Leeman doing a cat impression
Josh ‘strangely‘ Brown practising to be a bouncer
David ‘mind-my-teeth‘ Putman staying well out of harms way at the back

Here’s a small version to give you a taste – but be sure to click it and view the full size image. Let us know in the comments if you spot anything particularly amusing. PS – if you’re feeling smug that you weren’t caught doing anything strange or unusual – just wait – there’s another one coming soon!

Whilst most of us were out tonight the staff who remained on-site decided to put David’s car in the Marquee. Looks like they’re selling something different in the Tuck Shop now ;0)

Glorious St. Ives

After Camp most of the staff stay behind to pack the site up and get it on the lorry back to MK. It’s really hard work, but it has it’s perks. The weather today has been amazing and we had time to head down into town to chill out.

After a day of taking down all the camera tent and getting everything ready to go on the lorry, Richard is really feeling the effects.

Travel Update: Important

admin — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 14:36:46 +0000

The latest estimate from the Coach Driver is that they’ll make it back to Bletchley at 6:15pm & at Newport Pagnell at 7pm. If you’d like an update please contact Lucy Brown on 07929 452804.

Since they left the sun has come out and we’re enjoying glorious sunshine. The bulk of the work has been done, the Camper’s tents are down and packed away and we’re just clearing the Cookhouse before taking that down too…

Meanwhile, here’s Nick pegging out the teatowels & looking a little confused.

Campers are finding ways to pass the time on our long journey home. Thinking they all might go to sleep was very optimistic! An hour and a bit until our next stop and after that we’ll be on the home straight! 6.30pm at Bletchley and 7pm at Newport Pagnell… See you soon!
