Ross, no treading on toes intended but as I've the misfortune to know the reprobates Truffle and Didcoop they've been in contact with me this morning, both wanting to go, and I spoke to Lucy who said there's no more room now.

So unless your words carry any more weight with her than mine, I think that makes 6 confirmed...

Which leads me on to another topic, where is tim42?



1) Pondman - confirmed - Monday 29th
2) AndyEssex - confirmed - Monday 29th
3) Petep - confirmed - Monday 29th
4) HoveDan - confirmed - Monday 29th
5) MiniMetaller - confirmed - Monday 29th
6) Senny Dave - confirmed - Monday 29th

I'll see what I can do

I called today but there was no answer just an answerphone, so I've left a message for Lucy to call, but I'm sure she's busy doing final preps for the show. The only thing I could suggest is that they buy a full price ticket tomorrow and try and "wing" (punn intended) it at the show entrance at 8.30am to see if we can squeeze them in. I wouldn't hold out hope now of getting freebies though I have to say though, full and fair prompting & pm's were given and sent to all concerned

My bad. If you can speak to Lucy Mr Pondman that would be handy though, see what she says

Sunshine for Monday

Just had a call from Lucy, she is getting two tickets & passes together for you Did & Truffel, but I've got to go and collect them. We'll have to rendezvous before entry. Strings Officially pulled PM's sent!

I think tim42 has booked in last week too, spoke with him yesterday, so if so, that gives us

1) Pondman - confirmed - Monday 29th
2) AndyEssex - confirmed - Monday 29th
3) Petep - confirmed - Monday 29th
4) HoveDan - confirmed - Monday 29th
5) MiniMetaller - confirmed - Monday 29th
6) Senny Dave - confirmed - Monday 29th
7) Tim42 - confirmed - Monday 29th

Didcoop and Truffle possibly missing the cut

1) Pondman - confirmed - Monday 29th
2) AndyEssex - confirmed - Monday 29th
3) Petep - confirmed - Monday 29th
4) HoveDan - confirmed - Monday 29th
5) MiniMetaller - confirmed - Monday 29th
6) Senny Dave - confirmed - Monday 29th
7) Tim42 - confirmed - Monday 29th
8) Didcoop - confirmed - Monday 29th
9) Truffle - confirmed - Monday 29th

All sorted, we'll have sort out a rendezvous point - outsied the "3 Compasses" pub just by the green entry gate?

Is this the one Ross?

Is this like Stella Artois Cidre?

It's only because you need everyone else to organise your life for you

Last minute Truffelle...

Well i dont have a Mrs, so there is an 'organisation vacuum' in my life.

I'm not used to having no one telling me where to be and what to do

Yes Pete, that be the one Truffle, I'll be your Mrs for the day

So long as he doesn't insist on his conjugal rights Ross

MMMMMmmmm (Marco smiley) who's nicked it off the smiley pop-up?

What time are we meeting at 3 Compasses then. 7:45 -8:00 ?

I'm there, thanks Ross Seems we'll have a variety of colours this year

If that means, you're all there for 8-30 at the latest, then yes
Knowing me I'll be there at 8:29:59 sec's
So Don't PANIC I'll be there with all the tickets etc.

If our Bristol convoy meets at the 3 Compasses, what's the latest time we can get in and take our place at the static stand? 8.15 ok?

Depends how big a queue there is at the gate I guess Dan.

We'll aim to be there for 8 then Pete. Look forward to it!

There wasn't much of a que last year, 2 cars in front, quick flash of the pass+ticket and your in

Never fear.... I'll see you all tomorrow. Just need to get the boys out of bed!!

Tim are you coming from Medway? Wanna convoy down?

I'll be coming from Maidstone (M20, M26, M25).... Clacket services? What time do you suggest?

Erm, 7.30 Clacket Lane Tim?

Sounds good. Any problems, call me on 07914 338882. Just gotto ensure that my teenagers are up in time!! PS meet round by the petrol station.

Anyone else meeting up??

We have a 4 car convoy leaving Bristol by 6am tomorrow; MiniMetaller, Senny Dave, Truffle and myself.

So a 2 car convoy from Kent; Tim42 and Didcoop
