what about if you have had heated exchange of words on the message board and then pitch next to each other!!!!!!!!

But i do think the ideas of banners with you username is a good idea.

Chances are you never will ......  unless you want to

at least with the user name you will know who to avoid      

I did the UKCS National Meet at Bruces Cave a couple of years ago..Username on the TT and sticker on the car...It was brill...spotting a username..introducing myself..and finally putting a face to a username and having a chat face to face..I remember in particular meeting JulieR..while out walking the dog..we had had a bit of banter on some of the forums on here..We met..started chatting...both thought we had been talking for 10 mins...One and a half hours we were stood there???? Have always enjoyed any meets I've been on...and met loads of new people on each one...As for an ordinary camp...I just introduce myself to the neighbours around me and take it from there...Once met an old fella in his eighties..Who..on the death of his wife..had joined a canoing club...Hand built his Canadian canoe..Was on a trip down the river Ouse...Pitched up at our campsite...We started chatting...and had a great time in each others company...Gave him a hand to de camp next morning.... pushed him off on the next leg of his journey...Last I saw of him he was paddling merrily away down the river..as happy as a pig in muck..Great old guy!!!..I reckon there are some new friends to be made out there if we just make the effort to communicate to our neighbours on camp...

Hi All,

We bit the bullet and bought a flag. So if you see one flying from a 9mtr pole (I only do big!! LOL) Then there is a good chance its us

I've just downloaded/printed the poster with my username printed on it, am gonna get it laminated ready to hang from my tent next year.

I think this is a great idea

I have a car sticker and pennant, but sadly apart from arranged meets, I've not met up with anyone. Maybe next year.

We have stickers in both cars and one in the caravan - we have a laminate for the tent but its usually the cars that give us away LOL

Louise and Degsy

How about a "secret handshake" to identify members, or a silly walk, Monty Python style across the campsite?

......we've a car sticker, and the pennant with user ID is a great idea!

We had this recently, we went to have a look at the new Go Outdoors store in Bristol. We were looking at the portable toilets in the store & a lovely lady who was shopping there with her family kindly took the time to advise us on them.

When we got home, it hit me that she may have been a member of UKCS. I posted it on here & she replied. I really wished we'd had a longer conversation & introduced ourselves to her & her family. Small world.
