Which would mean that -
Folk would need to comply with the conditions or the NT would remove the Pagan Camping Concession ???

Aaaaaaanyway...
For those of us who merely enjoy being in the company of like-minded people with an interest in ancient sites, whatever your angle...
*BUMP!*
See you there on 1st August!
I look forward to seeing old friends, meeting new ones, chatting about stones and god knows what else(!), drinking, eating, walking, exploring, and just generally enjoying...

Hi everyone
Sorry I have been sent the link to the thread and thought I'd better come on and say something.
Firstly, I am the organiser of the Wiccan Ritual at Avebury that was mentioned above that Terry was 'unhappy' with. Just to say, ignore him, he has no authority at Avebury other than that which people give him. The incident sadly does give a bad impression to the tourists, however, if it continues, then the only person who appears foolish is obvious.
Secondly, I am on the Sacred Sites Forum Committee, and the rule of 'only attending a Druid ritual' is complete....bovine excrement. There is no such rule, there is no such request from the NT or anyone in authority. As someone has pointed out, there are many organised rituals going on, and many people who wish to attend to celebrate in their own way.
The campsite is for everyone, and the only requests anyone makes, is that the users of the campsite act in a responsible manner. That is noise levels are curbed after 1am, and that you keep the site clean and take your rubbish home with you.
Apart from that...come along and enjoy yourselves.
If anyone has any other questions on this matter, please feel free to post them on here and I will be only too happy to clarify the situation. I am going to a meeting about Lammas on Wednesday 8th July, so am quite happy to take questions with me if anyone has them.

Thanks for that.
Could i ask, have the NT told you this "rule" is nonsense as they don't seem to be able to find time to reply to my e-mails regarding this matter.

thanks Sian,
thats just about what I have been told by others on the ASSF, Avebury villagers, councilors etc.
No one in the NT had heard about this so could not comment.
I was hoping Chance would come back and explain where this condition came from,

Aye, spot on Goff, the rest is egotism gone rampant.

Egotism... egotism, egotism..

Mu guess is that it's possible to apply it to many a case..
