May be going to this with the V6 on the Sunday. Anyone want to convoy up from S.W area?

[vauxtillidie]

Ill be there hoping for better weather this time

[Deeksin]

Should be there again

[humbucker]

Ack! I was planning on going all weekend but now there's an event on Saturday night I'm desperate to go to... might just go to Billing on the Sunday now, bugger. Want to do both!

[Rage]

should be at this on the sunday unfortunately got work on the saturday

[Robsey]

Me & the wifey have vowed to come down this year.
We set off last year to attend, until Envoy sent me the devastating news about the flooding.

My plan is to attend on the Sunday - hoping to meet people from here, Vectra-C.com and Opcomusers.

Very rare that I get to meet the southern folk.

[dave955]

By far the best show , wouldn't miss it for the world , it's that good we camp from Wednesday to Monday

[humbucker]

IMHO Sunday is the best day to go anyway. There are a lot of glory hunters who turn up with their cars on the Sunday in order to enter their motors into the Chairman's Cup competition, meaning a lot more to look at, although it is a lot busier as a result and parking can be a bit troublesome if you're not on any club stand. I really was hoping to go for the full weekend but Elvis Costello is playing the Saturday night in my neck of the woods and I think I'm gonna kick myself if I don't find a way to do both events!

[Deeksin]

unfortunatly dont think al be at this one trying some other things this year like a good few road trips also planning on the classic touring car race at oulton park

[humbucker]

Elvis Costello tickets booked, Billing for the Sunday only for me! Bah!

[Deeksin]

Wish I didn't post anything before I'm able to make billing now

[humbucker]

Nice one Cyril!

[bennymac36]

i'll be there too but not on any stand parked at the travel inn will do me ha ha

[humbucker]

Any more coming down this weekend?

[Rage]

yep i'm going to nurse my novavan onto the PNG stand so look out for a white K reg van looking a little sorry for itself as i'm looking for parts for the poor girl.
i'm only going for the sunday what time is best to get there? and anyone looking to convoy from the cambridge area? or anyone passing the cambridge area looking to convoy?

[Chip Pan Dan]

think i'm going

[Envoy CDX]

Pretty sure I will be there on the Saturday.

[Lowrider Dave]

The V6 will be in the Migweb stand/area if anyone want so come and say hi. Look for a geezer with glasses and a large camera!

[GLC]

Not 100% sure yet but think I might be there Saturday and Sunday! Saturday with my friend in his Astra MK3 as he displaying it on the MK3 Astra stand.
Then possibly Sunday in my Cav with my dad and brother as they are chipping in funds so we can all go. Mine will have For Sale Signs in though.

[James McGrath]

None of my Cavs are ready for any shows but hell, I'll be there on Sunday in the LS.

Does anyone want to meet up before hand and convoy in?

[TurboDan]

Ill be there in my subaru all weekend, should be easy to spot!

[5853moore]

Am ment to be camping with astramk1oc but thats hanging in the balance. Might just not bover and go to the seaside insted!

[humbucker]

Will be getting there around mid morning Sunday I reckon, should be good. If anyone fancies a cavmk3oc meet up perhaps we should get organised haha! Tuck shop at 1, that kind of thing?!

[Chip Pan Dan]

sounds like a plan
