No doublebooking next year!

Looking orward to this as I have not been since.... 2007? LOL

[Guinney1971]

I've heard from the organisers, that there will be lots on next year, including the famous night glow with the hot air balloons.

Any more for any more?

The organiser needs final numbers from me in the next couple of weeks, so
can I ask for final confirmations from people asap. As before, the camping is
free, and there are now all night lavvies on site too

1. Claire Usher
2. Phill Wright
3. Richard H
4. Dan Howarth

We will be providing lunch on Saturday and a BBQ on the Saturday evening

The weather forecast looks fantastic too, so all in all it should be a brilliant weekend again.

Thanks to the owners for putting up with my perstering!

Glad to see 4 cars in total eventually arrive, only saw 1 last time I went to this show.

Also glad the weather seemed to clear up as I got there.

Some pictures from saturday:

I was thinking a few of these pictures would make good club magazine covers...what do you think, sirs?

Great pictures Richard, who ownes YLX728X looks a very nice example.

Wish I could have been there...

[Guinney1971]

Hello! And thanks. Its difficult to take a bad picture of such a glorious car.

Yeah, YLX was a nice example, though it did have some very minor issues that the owner talked to me about. I also asked him about his rather interesting fog light arrangement - he said how most owners alter the rear light display to add fog lights to it, and that he thought it easier just to have it underneath the boot.

Was a lovely day eventually, and the guys were as always brilliant.

[Guinney1971]

yes, bar that lunchtime shower, it was a glorious day, and the rock bands just got better and better
as the afternoon went on.

I love it at Evesham, its so chilled out, you just arrive, put the tent up, and relax till Sunday afternoon
