Posting this just coming in to Holyhead. Going to take a leisurely drive down the old A5 having had to thrash the lightweight this morning and only just making the ferry!

So looking forward to this, only UK show I've made this year.

Mike

as my stall gets evermore popular i decided to take on a pr adviser
so as to get the best shopping experience for my punters.
he advised that it was time to expand & re brand.
so after extensive consultation we agreed to rename the company.
no longer associated with the smurfs (drawing in the wrong types)
the new brand name will be:
Todds Independent Trading Supplies or T.I.TS for short.
i look forward to you all coming along and grabbing some T.I.T.S bargains.
on saturday.

see you all there

Don't let Rex Cadman know about that new name Dave, as his company was also known by those initials, his company was Tired Iron Trucks Supplies, way back in the early eighties.

Another great show, shame about the weather yesterday but overall we were lucky with the weather.

Laura is still taking the micky about me getting chatted up while wearing my rather fetching jacket...shame it was a bloke really

David....I forgot to pay you for the BBQ brickettes.

Didn't take any photo's as forgot too! Have to say though after the shower band the rain really came in heavily for most of the night, but thankfully my design held well with no leaks & a comfortable dry warm space to move about in. The next morning though, looked like this!

Drove the 200 miles home with no hold ups as bank holiday traffic had gone, & still had wet tents the same as those that left monday afternoon.

We got finally packed up about 3pm this afternoon, 12x12s were dry but 9x9s will have to go up at the weekend to dry!

Dave...I did not pay you for those BBQ brickettes!

It was a really great show and a good turn out of vehicles, we were chatting about you all taking the 101`s into the arena and trying to get the largest gathering of 101`s anywhere in the UK apart from may be [email protected] at next years show, I am sure Andrew would be happy about this.
What do you all think?
Simon

Pinkrover · **Posted:** Fri Aug 29, 2014 10:36 am

I spoke to Andrew and a 101 drive around in the arena is on for next year, we just need to get as many 101's a possible for 2015 :lol:

Did anyone do a definitive 101 count this year ? my guess would be around a dozen :roll:

Hi All
thanks to all the club members and non club members who turned up for the show.
we had a great time didn't we. talked lots drank lots ate lots.
our group on the hill numbered at one point 12 101's a total of 14 on the show ground altogether.
a good turn out would you not agree.
next year Les (pink rover) wants to organize a mass arena drive round I'm up for that.
we want to keep pushing for more 101's next year so come on you lot make plans now
and put it on the list for next year. i guarantee you won't be disappointed.
i know sheesh wants to come how about you ian (narune) lots of food. phill i know you will come as well.Sean 101 comes from Ireland
every year. Tom from Coventry we want you there next year.
there's 3 more already.don't be left out we might go for some kind of record what do you think Pete (cider head steer)
if it's too far for some of you to come in the 101 I'll put up extra tents & you can come by more economical
transport. and camp with us.
thanks to the many that visited us.

I assume that next years show will be on August Bank Holiday so the dates for everyone diaries will be ;

Friday 28th August 2015 - Monday 31st August 2015.

Put the dates in your Diaries and come along, It is a great relaxing show, See the bargrip's aviary display, ( where everything goes cheap cheap, :-)

)

If anyone wants to come for the day rather than camp, lets see if we can organise a 101 flash mob on one of the show days. :?:

just noticed the modesty filter has come up with another pearlier,

Bar grip's = Toddy's Independent Trader S

Perhaps I should have written it in full instead of using just the initials :lol:
