Good show actually, if you're keen on going travelling some way in your 4x4.
Some interesting stuff going on.

jims-terrano · 21-07-2017, 22:44

Very tempted but not too sure what I'll be doing in September just yet.

don simon · 21-07-2017, 23:14

I've had my weekend schedule through and am free for it so will be heading down to look at RTTs.
It'd be good to have a bit of a meet.

That's funny i was talking to shmbo the other day about going to this, but it is dependent on whether I've had my operation or not which is due in September.
So we'll have to wait and see

Banshee · 22-07-2017, 00:05

Right by me!!! I'll be there if there's a few going

don simon · 22-07-2017, 08:44

The set up is that there is a huge car park that will never in a month of Sundays be full. No lists to organise, no limits of numbers just turn up on the day.
Get in contact with each other on the day, then move the trucks to another part of the car park, light the barbecue and get the beers out of the fridge (Banshee can get the kettle on and sit leeward of me).

jims-terrano · 22-07-2017, 13:33

Are you thinking about camping overnight?

Probably, it's a couple of hours' drive and I'll have the full weekend off. There's not two days worth of exhibits, but a Saturday wander followed by barbecue, beers and chilling with a relaxing Sunday am either at the showground or tourism in Stratford sound like a winnner to me.

Then again at £50.00...

I'll be up for this. Problem is I'd only been home after 2 week training so not sure it'll go down well with the family

don simon · 15-09-2017, 06:06

I'll pop this back up here as we're a litle closer to the date. I'm still looking at getting down on The Saturday, staying over and heading homewards on the Sunday.
Last time I was there they took cash for the Saturday night camping, so significantly cheaper than the website charge.

Wheelie · 15-09-2017, 17:36

I'm going on the Sunday and meeting with blocky
