"Hi there!

All of our tent and furniture details & prices are at https://www.emfcamp.org/tickets/hire - there's a couple of types of marquee left (5x5m, 6x6m), alongside chairs and tables.

We don't have fridges or communal cool rooms, but there is a Tesco supermarket nearby and a number of attendees keep things on ice for a day or two in a cool box before visiting to top up.

Trailer Tent won't be a problem - for villages we typically do

The plan is for villages to be able to place themselves on our map, the web team are working on the functionality. Our general plan is for the loudest camping to be A, B and D near the 'null sector' night club area. C should be more managable, as should E, but F is generally the quietest zone.

At the moment we've not launched the portal for putting in village activities, there will be an all villages email about that soon. As an example of some I know off the top of my head from some regular villages, Maths village have drop in puzzles and challenges, Scottish Consulate offer unnecessary bureaucracy and forms alongside deep fried food, the group milliways run a whisky drinking mixer known as 'whiskyleaks', one of the UK hackerspaces brings a bar robot.

There's plenty of diversity of activities, and more would be amazing! What were you thinking of running?

I always like to get lost in the field itself, see what people are showing off and learn about their passions. When i've brought stuff in the past, it's been a highlight to talk to people about the things I'm proud of!  You've already got plans on my normal suggestion of running things, I run a meetup at one of our workshops every year and it's a treat, the positive feedback always makes me smile.

Looking forward to meeting you - your village seems right up our street!"
