Autumn meet

Hi can anyone tell me what date the autumn meet is please? i know its clock change day but dont know the date
thankyou

Clock change date is on all calendars - its October 31st.

It is amazing the power Bill Gates has before Windows the clock changes used to be all over the place however, since the introduction of computers clock changes are now the last weekends of March and October.

Just had the notification through:-

Following the successful return to Princetown in the spring of this year, the Meet will again be at the new Community Centre in Princetown. Doors are from open 10am. Food and a bar will be available. Various charities will be selling Letterbox Walks (which are ideal for anyone wishing to start the hobby), along with stalls such as Kountry Kit, Ink Print, Dartmoor News, Dartmoor Magazine etc.
Anyone wishing to obtain details of cost for either charity or general tables/stalls please contact Roger Paul Tel 01647 231080 or email rogerpaul@eprimus.co.uk
Please remember that anyone putting out a charity walk must apply to the Dartmoor National Park for permission. Contact is Sue Bishop Tel 01626 831006 for an application form.

Not that I have anything against charity boxes - but I think there are too many of them these days but having said that I hope the weather turns out nice again.

there is never too many charity walks, lol, gives us all a chance to get a few more boxes in the areas, and meet people doing the same walk.

Must try and get to the meet this time. Just HOW crowded is it?

The crowd depends upon one major factor... is it raining?
The rain will concentrate the number of people there to what can only be described as sardines

I shall be coming to this meet my first one to meet some like minded ppl see you all there i hope.

Arrrr, thank you for that bit of info. I'll not bring small boy if its a wet day then.

In the good ole days when the meet was at the Prison Officers club, you were packed in so tightly you couldn't even reach a table to get a stamp. You had to follow the crush around and pick up what you could reach!!!. Then the crowds seemed to ease off over at Lee Moor and this last Meet in March there seemed hardly anyone there. This was mainly because the room was so big, it was a nice day (until lunch time) and there was so much more to do in princetown. Don't be put off, children love to go to the meet and collect all the stamps on offer for the day.
Some pics for you to see for yourself

i would say take the kids, they would not see anything like it, sadly i can not make another meet this year, due to being on active duty out in the far east, so have fun, roll on spring were I might be there.(fingers crossed)

don't forget to give them an ink pad and a book or some cards and then they can collect the one day stamps around the place

would any body want to collect "his" personal stamp ? I guess we should take that too along with our book.

Yes, you must take his personal stamp along as when you get the official meet stamp, they keep a book on the table for everyone to stamp their personals in as a record of who went to the meet. Lots of people who sell walks also like to keep copies of personals of the people who bought their walks.
I've just realised that the photos of the meet I put on don't actually show any children around Think they must have all been in the other rooms, so sorry about that.

I love the photos of the meet... it's funny how you get an impression in your head as to what it would look like.... and my impression was no where near the photos LOL!

I pictured a dark room with a few people looking shifty/secretive

Just wish i lived closer and was able to make it
