Hey folks, looking forward to seeing you lot again :) .. bought some nice cars and got the whole vibe of the show last time.

Re: Tickets, we had a bit of an issue with the delivery (long boring story) but they will all be going out this weekend.  In terms of stand passes, I've got you down for space so you can park up together in whatever you roll in ;) ...

If anyone is in two minds about it, don't be, come along!  It is a great show!  If you can't afford to bring your car, share a lift with someone, split the costs, just make sure you get down(or up) for it!

Ah Tom, would be good to see you down there...

I plan to be there mid afternoon on Friday with family Quinnell-Brock. It's a long way for us, so want a make a full weekend of it.

My ticket arrived yesterday too. As I understand it, tickets are only needed to show your car on the Sunday. Pre-entry is finished now, but tickets are available on the gate. If you come up in your daily and park in the public carpark, it's free. Only costs are £5 each for camping.

Christoff speaks the truth :) .. I've put some space aside for you guys, would be nice to have a lows stand ;)  Even better to just have you guys there to hang out and chill with us, we do enjoy a relaxed atmosphere.


Fat daddy : There is going to be an American style Diner on the camp site if you want to pay someone else to cook your stuff, or fancy some chips to go with a BBQ'd burger :)

Pity you are not coming down in the Linc Russ, it went down sooo well last year!

I'm bringing all of my hydraulic stash as Andy has bought it all from me. There are plenty of lockoffs and other bit 'n bobs in there, sure he'll help you out...

so I'll roll up some time sat and just find where you are camping........... are we having a bbq or eating more civilised

I'm not sure what's on site - I gather there will be a grot-burger van. Otherwise, I'll be in our camper, so there is a hob available for use if required. I plan to be cooking bacon sarnies for one and all again on Sunday morning.
