Right - When is everybody planning on coming out?. You can only enter after 5pm on friday.

I am working, so will be out on friday night. As early as i can get there - but likely 7-8pm or so.

The stand is in the usual location. We are inbetween EMLRA and the 130's, backing onto the edge of the showground.

Since the stand here has a clear frontage, I'd like to hide any tents on the stand at the back, and arrange the vehicles around the edge and also hide the tents (I mean standalone tents here - not vehicle awnings). Attached is a crude map!

banners will go along the front, and the flags (which steve should be posting me!) in 2 corners. club tentage (if required) at the back.

Please take your pick where you stop! - but i'd like to aim for something like that! (unless anybody has any better suggestions!)

If we could also get a few of the people who are still in green/camo to stop on the EMLRA side of the stand, this should also keep us more popular and I think make the stands blend together better.

Peter Barratt has got himself a whole vampire stand on the other side of the EMLRA one - so we should be able to get them in a 101 sandwich!

Thanks!

The only drawing program on my computer is the GIMP - which Roger H-C and Dave neeson (and any other linux users) will confirm is not the simplest program to use for simple diagrams! I was impressed by it too!

Atleast 101's are easy to draw! :lol:

It says no entry between 9am and 5pm (fri/sat/sun).

Though the stand is quite close to an entry/exit road - so Martin reckons you have a good chance of being able to blag it in - but thats up to you and the management this year!

I'll try to get there before 0900 Friday: a crack'o'dawn start! About 150 miles for me, so about 4 hour journey time...

I've discovered some V8 spares that I obviously don't need - (gasket set, oil pump gears, points, distributor cap) which I'll bring for any member who wants them...

Roger.

bob · **Posted:** Tue Jul 15, 2008 12:24 pm

I'll be there at 9 or just before on friday,not sure i'm going to get time to wash it off though it got plastered on saturday,still it looks even more origanal now. :lol:

simonollman · **Posted:** Tue Jul 15, 2008 4:02 pm
