Shaun Pickett - Grimsby
I went to the first poacher in 1977, aged 14 yrs. My best memory was when everyone made a band, and marched around the site on the Wednesday, using kitchen pots and pans. In 1982 I went on the catering team, Never peeled so may spuds. Now my daughter is going on her first Poacher camp in 2008. What memories !!

poacher camps are the worst camps i have ever been on they are run like a guide camp the security people are power mad and think they are real police when in reality they are just jumped up nobobody's i would never camp with poacher again worst experience of my life so disorganised i and my group have camp at internationals all over england and abroad and i would not reccomend anyone to even try a poacher camp

I was a staff member at Poacher 2004 and was on the Activities team doing crafts all week. I did have a brief visit into Lincoln one day.I really enjoyed myself and found new and old friends. especially the show with the bears and the stilt walkers from Birmingham.

David Bower
I went to the first Poacher in 1977 as a Scout. My son is looking forward to his first Poacher in 2008. It makes me feel old that that I was a founder member of his cub pack and at the first Poacher. This is esp true as today is the centenary of scouting and it was just 70 back then. I got bored of scouting at 15 which looking back is a shame

Ellie Lister

I went to Poacher 1977 as a Guide and Poacher 1982 as a member of a Service Team. What Fun!!!! What Memories!!! Although I am no longer involved with the Guiding movement I still have a love of camping which has stood me in good stead for my family holidays. I am really pleased to see that the 'next generations' are having as much fun at Poacher as we did. Long may it continue.

Eric de France
J'ai été a Poacher a Lincoln en 1977. je vous dis a tous un grand bonjour. Dommage je ne parle pas Anglais. Eric

Carolyn
I first went to poacher when i was 12 in 2000 on red dwarf. I went back in 2004 on superheroes and at 16 i was probably the oldest person still doing activities. Hello to hannah, jenny, katie, rachel, zoe, kat, ben, richard and ben. I am definitely going in 2008 and i may lie about my age so that i can do the activities. Many thanks to my guide leader, judy, who first introduced me to poacher iwill be forever in your debt!

Charlene Stead -
I was at poacher 96 as a guide on 60's subcamp, poacher 2000 on staff in one of the tuck shops and I was on the PR Team at Poacher 2004. Im already looking forward to the next one as its such a good event and i total enjoyed myself and have made some great friends along the way!!!

phil webb
Crikey this brings the mists of time swirling round my feet. I went to Paocher 82, sub camp Otter (only recently found the T-shirt again, alas too small now!!). Had a great time, the best thing for me was meeting up with a bunch of Guides from Ireland, Dun Lairee (spelling?) near Dublin. I kept in contact with two or three for several years after, Erica hello if you read this. The camp was great fun, loads of activities and the disco on the last night played 'Come on Eileen' (dexys' midnight runners) several times. Wierd what you remember. I lived only down the road in Nettleham 5 miles away but remember swapping unit / area badges with folks from all over the country and beyond - still have them. How great it is to see that over 20 yrs on the jamboree (do they still call it that) is still being enjoyed so much.

Showing my age here ,but I was a cub on a day visit to the first Poacher (77).I was a camper as a scout in 82.A service team member as a venture scout in 87-the best poacher ever.A leader(but still instructing archery in 92).Now I have 3 boys of my own who I hope will be having their own poacher experiences and memories(they do last a lifetime).

Nice to see that Poacher is still going! I was at Poacher 1988 where the entire site came down with a water-bourne ‘bug’ that caused the site to be closed early due to everyone not being able to be more than two foot away from a toilet!However, it was a great experience and a fantastic thing to be a part of.
