How to recognise your tent

how to recognise your tent

how to recognise your tent in the dark

I thought I’d post some of the drawings I did for various Greenbelt-related things for those who have not seen them. These are the rare black and white versions of some colour cartoons that appeared on the Guide to Greenbelt published by the Church Times.

Incidentally I had a great time loitering in the Church Times yurt pretending to be important and writing my name inside books when no-one was looking. The Church Times Team were promoting their new magazine for girls called ‘Caris‘. I posted about it a month or two back if you remember – at the time it was going to be called ‘Grace’ but this was changed for legal reasons.

Also in the yurt were Third Way, now also part of the Church Times setup. They had the folding table on the right.

In other Greenbelt news, you may not have read this link on many other blogs. From the Bexhill-on-Sea Observer:
Members of the St Peter’s Youth Group go to Greenbelt with the blessing of the Rector, and return again to Bexhill as planned on Monday evening.

    good, very good

    Recognising your tent is easy – you just need a 3 1/2 metre high lit up plastic duck next to your tent – works every time :D

    Rachel

    (on second thoughts, if everyone had one of these….)

    Some of us weaklings stayed in the mighty metropolis that is Cheltenham. I can assure you that finding an arbitrary tent is easy compared to navigating through the ring road system. The sat nav. said “I have no idea, swallow your prode and ask someone..”:-)

    Great cartoons Dave and good to meet you in person.

    If you are wondering what prode is, its road-pride that all male drivers suffer from :-)

    I went to the CT yurt quite a few times, but I must have missed you. I’m glad you enjoyed yourself though!

    Loved this cartoon! So did my 14 year-old daughter who giggled helplessly for about half an hour after seeing it!

    Stephen King was seen in Alice Springs or somewhere signing his books on a book shop shelf. They didn’t know who he was to begin with and thought him to be defacing them. Tis a fine line!

  9. Jaded for Jesus says:

    A sure-fire way to fail to distinguish between your tent and others in the dark is to visit the loos at midnight in the rain, lighting your way with an open-topped lantern powered solely by a tea-light (the sort of thing that you might be tempted to take on carol-singing excursions). It may well be aesthetically pleasing, but you could find your light fizzling out while negotiating a particularly muddy/cowpatty spot in your sandals, and end up squealing in an undignified manner for your friends/family to assist you. Nothing like this has ever happened to me, of course, no.

    Life must be a wonderfully exciting thing in Bexhill. It was clearly so overwhelming for them that they didn’t manage to see any performances or listen to any seminars.

    Camping and eating was all they could manage.
