Adventure Overland Show 2016, at Stratford race course, Sept 24-25

That's unfair the Landrover crowd can tow each other in to make the weight without raising any suspicions

 

[Pumpy]

It says 'Free entry for display vehicles over 5 tonnes'. Perhaps you could load the roof rack with jerry cans Pete?

weight of mine an extra box of kleenex would probably tip the scales

that 5 ton thing makes a mockery of the shpeel they use to justify the higher prices for 4x4s using more space than 2 wheelers, display vehicles should have a consession regardless of size, the field was only half used, if there were no display vehciles there wouldn't be a show

Assuming no problems this end, I'd like to be placed on that list please.

Sounds good. Have added you on there.

 

[Chris]

Think I'll be bringing the trailer. Don't need it, just can't bare to be parted from it.

Does that push you over the 5 tonne mark?

 

[Chris]

With beer and bacon, quite possibly!

 

[Lund]

We're in, GoK can you put us on the list please

 

[GeekOKent]

On the list now. Looks like we are in for an epic meetup.

I should have details for the area etc in a few days.

We need to tell Tom no rough cider and chip fires this time....

 

[karl webster]

I was looking forward to the cider this time stu

 

[kingtom]

Maybe not chips but i cant function without cider

Just added myself and then took myself off. I only want to stay Friday night but there's no single night camping again. As Pumpy says, £49 is steep anyway for what has been to date a not particularly good show, let alone for one night. I'll be there Saturday and come and say hello but reckon I'll just drive there and back. Shame really as I would have like to bring the truck but no point if I can't get to the club pitch.

 

[Chris]

Let's face it the show is crap but I'm not going for that. I just like any excuse for a cruiser gathering, swap-meet and p*** up.

 

[karl webster]

As Chris says really. The shows shite. 2 nights camping for £49 is about what we pay when we stay at any campsite. Jmo

 

[Chris]

Just spent 20 days round the Baltic, we paid from £14 to £28 per night and in most cases the showers were coin slot operated. So £50 for a long weekend and laugh at the show is pretty good in my book.

 

[Chris]

Just checked the spreadsheet and oddly I wasn't on it. Sure I put myself down. I was one of the early confirmers.
Never mind. What are we mostly doing - paying in advance or paying on the door?

 

[Chris]

Just re read the thread here and keen to get sorted. Not quite clear how it's going to work this year. We can all individually book camping and register for a display vehicle pass but I know that KB, you are talking to Tom. If we have a load of display permits, are you arranging those to go out? Last year I made a big deal about the marshals which most people took to be unlikely - until they arrived. Utterly clueless. If we don't have the pass in the windscreen then there's a chance they'll stick you in the main camp site. I'd rather pay for a ticket up front than have to faff about in that tent arguing the toss.

 

[GeekOKent]

Tom's in Hungary at the moment, expected back later this week. Once he is in town I will try and close off and confirm all the bits. They are trying a few different things this year, so keen to confirm everything ahead of time.

 

[Chris]

Cool, thanks KB. Looking forward to seeing the 105.
