That would be very handy thank you Stewart ,, Would it be handy if a few folks brought along a few sticks to burn and maybe some charcoal and a little something to cook ??

Morning all,

 

Days to do are getting few.

 

I could bring my trailer as well as the motorhome and a slightly larger fire pit and a few logs, along with chairs. If it is raining I may even be able to bring the marquee you can see in the photos.

 

Let me know what you think.

 

Regards

Put me down for the Sunday, I'll come down in my new TJ, it's stock (for a while) but will be good to take it down

Hi Jim,

 

Being a bit of a photographer, the quadcopter/drone follows me everywhere!

Well I am super excited to meet all of you and hopfully make friends over here. I have booked camping for both Friday and Saturday night! Then I still need to know if I can pay for the 4x4 course on Saturday while there; or do I need to call and book it? I will be trying to just get off work Friday so I can come down earlier as well.

The 4x4 course will be pay on the day £20 , your weekend camping pass will allow you free re admission to the Aquadrome when we have finished on the course there is a jet wash in the petrol station close to the site entrance if you want to wash off after off roading  :great:

[Chrisby]

Not going to make it today I'm afraid , but will be there tomorrow around 10.30am :great:

next weekend is looming  and it looks like it will be a brilliant one , for those off roading on the Saturday I have arranged to meet the site owner at 10 am , he will do a lead around the 2 courses for an hour or so and then we have maps and get to roam free , please could I ask as this is an SSI that people kep to the marked tracks , the lakeside edge part of the course has a bypass if it looks a little daunting on the day but great fun for the brave  :icon_bounce:, ,,,,,  If you are not coming to the 4x4 site but are coming to the Aquadrome arena on the Saturday , an area will be allocated to us and we can set up a Jeep parking area taped off where you can be part of the car show and take in some or all of the stalls set up around the arena , please feel free to use the AACI hospitality tent for a beer if you wish , there will be a live band ( normally a god one ) performing Friday and Saturday evenings in the hospitality tent , please feel free to go in and enjoy the entertainment if the weather turns bad and a barbecue is deemed impractical if everyone decides that a barbecue is going ahead no hard fast time has been set , ( all depends on the weather and peoples willingness), please bring something to sit on  a few logs for the fire pit  something to eat  and drink , generally the showing cars tend to start arriving around 9.30 - in the arena

 

Sunday morning is a slower start , show cars start arriving around 9.30 - 10 am we have in the past had the Jeeps parked up in our allocated space by 9.30 -  10 am ish hopefully we can all enjoy a fine day with lots for everyone to see and do , people tend to begin drifting off from mid/late afternoon AACI prize giving is at 3 pm ( yes you can take home a trophy if you are picked out by the judges) show closes officially at 5 pm ,,

 

[/IF THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE YOU WISH TO KNOW OR ARE UNSURE OF , FEEL FREE TO  P M  ME ,,,

HOPEFULLY THE WEATHER WILL BE FINE AND WE WILL ALL ENJOY A GREAT WEEKEND  :icon_bounce: :icon_bounce: :icon_bounce: :icon_bounce: :icon_bounce:

Would you belive me if I said I used my spare as a template for the firepit. Been the best addition to our garden and gets far more use than the gas bbq ever did.

[Chrisby]

Looks great, we've got a large chiminea and a Small raised pit but they're not really big enough.  This could be tomorrow's project now I'm free due to my date mistake for Billing :rofl:

Hi Mark,

 

If not too late I would like to join the 4x4 course and then the jeep stand both Sat and Sun  if possible.
