  The highlight of this years fun day is the afternoon wide game. Set in the woodland can Robin Hood's band help the peasants to success or will the Sheriff and his workers rule the day. Build your hide out in the woods, barter with the traveling traders and try your hand at the tasks of the day to earn your daily bread.
  
  
  If one day is just not enough then there is the option to bivvy out in the woodland. The bivvy is open to all ages, as with the fun day itself groups will need to ensure they have sufficient adults. Please note all adults staying for the bivvy must be registered adult members
  
  Booking for the bivvy is essential, please email info@southwestwoodcraft.org.uk to book your place, we'll need your name, group and membership number (adults only). Bookings must be made by Monday 16^th September at the latest.
  
  
  
  How do I get there?
  SWAN and the Bristol District are planning a coach to run from Bristol for fun day. Please watch the district emails for further details.
  If you are making your own way take the A30 and follow the signs to Escot Park. Continue past the park entrance and carry on to the cross roads at the top of the hill. At the crossroads turn left and continue up this road to a farm track on the right. Follow this track until you reach New Barn Farm, parking is in the farm yard.
  
  What do I need to bring?
  We suggest you bring along a packed lunch, picnic mat of some sort and of course your waterproofs. There is a short walk up to RegLand from the nearest parking so we recommend packing a rucksack with everything you will need for the event.

  What will I need to bivvy
  We'll have a sheltered campfire with a grid and kettle for cooking. You'll need to bring your own shelter, food and cooking equipment. The site has plenty of tree suitable for hanging hammocks and clearings for tarp shelters.
  
  You'll need your sleeping bag and mat and a ground sheet and, to build your shelter, a tarp, some paracord or rope and a few tent pegs. It will get cold so hats, gloves and thermals would be good to have. You'll also want a torch as it will get dark early under the trees.
  There will be plenty of people who've bivvied before and can give you a hand if needed, if you have any questions about what to expect or what you'll need to bring please let us know. info@southwestwoodcraft.org.uk
  
  
  
  Anything Else I need to know?
  Please note although SWAN are organising this event we are unable to take responsibility for children at any point in the day. All groups will need to ensure they provide the correct ratio of adults and children at all times.
