This is an old revision of the document!


CampGND 2023 was a nice return to Forgue after a four year gap. The weather was the best we've ever had for a CampGND, sunshine all weekend. We managed a little bit of projects and radio, and a lot bit of chilling. The largest CampGND yet, A big thanks to Rob's folks for hosting us again.

Things that were great

The new tent (DPRM) was a success. So much room for activities. It was pleasantly fast to assemble and dissasemble. The clear sides give it a nice open feel.

The sound system was bangin', great music all weekend.

The new kitchen setup churned out tasty meals.

Ideas for improvement

Kitchen
  • Disposable cutlery and plates for all, communal dishwashing is a ballache
  • Make the burger patties next time, Asda's are dire
Democractic Peoples' Republic of Marqueea
  • A new tub for feet, knuckles and other small metal parts.
  • New wrappers for the side panels. Four in one is too heavy and difficult to pack.
  • Some straps with handles to hold the poles together in bundles.
  • A bag of grip gloves for handling.
Infrastructure
  • Some shelves would be great, to keep the floor of the DPRM free for hacking.
  • A couple more tables and benches.
  • Solar panels and batteries. We had just enough electricity this year. The generators were a pain, mostly due to the four year gap since they were last used. Not having to mess about with fuel would be great.
