Theme Camp Placement 2019

Lexy, exciting they'll be camping where Crumpet were last year😃
Will campavans be allowed in this new area??🦄❤️

Yes I believe so - @pauliophario to confirm :)

👍X

Yes, although once the event starts there will be no movement of vehicles so only bring it down if you don't intend to move again until Strike

Yeh Essex-on-Sea is cool with this🦀
Anywhere is better than tiltering on the edge of a huge slope as "The Roost" was last year😃

Dead Insides are concerned we're a little too close to family camping. We have 2 late parties, a sound system and most of our workshops are very sweary & horror themed. We were hoping to be closer to the other bars, as we are more of a bar camp than a workshop venue.

Thanks ok not sure family camp will happen this year

So may not be an issue after all we will keep you posted

If there is family camp it may be children area rather than camp and we move it to centre camp

Even if Family Camp does not happen, this end is also near the quiet camps, and other 'quieter' areas in theory. So do agree in principle that the noisier yellow camps might be better suited to be nearer the red camps! cc @pauliophario

I looks like some CCC campers are going to camp in the free camping field this year so we'll need a bit less space than anticipated this year, if that helps.

Sorry, just to confirm. Is this Costume Camp?

We've had a discussion today with Panravia who would like to go in the location we've put CCC. They have a large number of camping members and need more space. Since you don't need so much space and also require electricity (they don't). Would you mind if they swap places with you?

@yon1 (from Panravia) linking you into this disucssion with CCC

Yes yes, this is good with us. We're off grid, so swapping with CCC would be ideal.

Hi Guys, we're happy to swap with Panravia.

Ccc = camp costume camp 😍

Seeing as Whisper is a performer camp, wouldn't it be better if they were further from the sound/bar camps? Obviously with our not-so-hidden agenda of swapping with them 😁

The plan is for sound camps to direct their sound into the tree, so away from the Whisper. Your neighbouring camps are also lower level sound camps/bars

So will we be able to point at the trees from this layout?

I guess that depends how you orientate your camp

Ok, so you may have gathered from my not so subtle queries that the majority of the Dead Insides are not thrilled with our placement.
Being close to camping isn't ideal as we do plan on having two late parties.
Being on a slope isn't ideal for how our venue structure is made.
How can we come to an accord?

I would suggest going on a site visit. The slope there isn’t that bad at all and given your structure isn’t a dome, it will fair better there than most. People camping in that area do so in the understanding that it isn’t quiet camping, you can also direct your sound away from them. The only other thing we could do is swap you with the Whisper @xavier dubruille ( xdubruille@gmail.com ) how would you feel about that?

So Xavier has agreed to swap with you guys. I'll update the map

Awesome, thanks! And thanks Xavier/Whisper

hey i m not so easy you forget to precise that in exchange they will have to perform on stage (anything, we got a lot of occasion for that)

It also means I can swap House of Mojo around with the Merkins so you guys can be next to each other as requested :)

Yay!!! Thank you :slight_smile: Dead Insides are very happy...then they realised how dead inside they were are stopped that nonsense immediately :sunglasses:

Update from Panravia. As we mentioned on Sunday, we'd like to be on the other side of quiet ville, further from the bars. If that's possible. Perhaps in the area where costume camp is...

(Not in a camp, just amused that Camp Crumpet this year is right on top of where my tent was last year... :) I'll have to scout around for a different, secluded camping spot. Unless Crumpet are okay with me setting up in the middle of their dancefloor... Hmm...)

The layout has basically been flipped this year, so all the loud camps (Crumpet, ODITR & Psychejellyfish) are all up the other end (near where Panravia / hammocks in the trees were) and the quiet camps are around The Point (formerly known as Centre Camp).

Yep, I saw that on the map. It's a really good idea. I was just looking forward to going back to my beautiful secluded camping spot. I'm just a selfish diva, really ;)

(ODITR) Paul - I saw your intent is to have soundcamps 'firing' into the trees - can you somehow mark the intended direction on the map? Our proposed camp layout means we can only aim the soundsystem along the long axis of the camp which could easily be 20m, which may limit our ability to place the camp

Yes I see the problem. There is no getting around the fact that you will be on a bit of a slope there but there's no getting away from it if you need good access. I don't really know enough about sound, so I'm only going by the guidance given by the Council last year. There will be plenty of scope for micro-siting anyway when you get there and you've got a pretty big area. I've rotated your marquee around on the map. Happy to receive any other suggestions

Where has the point gone?

what do you mean? It's the big white box on the map

Where is The Point ? What is the point? Who knows! ;)

This sort of Pointless talk is never gonna end, is it? :)

Oh, I see. I thought that was security since most other things are shown by a circular symbol.

What you mean keep the same convention for the Point as I’ve used for the rest of the map. How confusing!

@tarekabdulrahman in this little shuffle around we've been having (see discussion above) your camp has been brought to the opposite side of the path. Hope that's okay with you folks?

Apologies for the Delay Paul, we are comfortable with the placement for the HAUS OF K location if these matters can be confirmed:

1) if the location we are in is flat or is that a decline on the edge of the location? please confirm
2) HAUS of K (the Lettuce previously) is coming back with Karaoke and we are in the final stages to decide on whether we will be bringing a proper Techno night on friday like last year, will that be okay in terms of the loudness of the music and our placement which seems to be further from the sound camps now.

Hi Tarek, the land slopes a bit at your location but it will be fine for your needs. You’ll be okay making noise on Friday night until the curfew, sound earlier in the week will have to be lower, but someone will go through that with you when you get to site and we will be monitoring levels throughout to make sure we’re within our licence conditions.

Okay, so if there are no more requests or concerns, we have our 20 camps placed

actually i was thinking about aquatic show sure i can use the lake but can you put on the map an swimming pool next to my camp that i will shovel myself and the map will be perfect.
if it s not possible maybe next year :p
anyway let me be the first to tell you my greatest thanks for your hard work for these map, without speaking of all the other side task implied by your role. you are our lighttower (ok pun included phare is a light tower in french)

Aw, thanks Xavier :pray: I'll assume you're joking about the swimming pool

Aww, I was looking forwarded to seeing Xavier’s synchronised swimming... 😜

I realise it's not a theme camp but can I ask how I go about reserving an area for fnugging? Or can I just rock up and set up where I like :p

Hi Gemma, we can take this off Loomio as it doesn't affect anyone else. Feel free to contact me directly on paul@burningnest.co.uk
