I would just like to thank everyone who turned up at this event.
I was impressed at the level of friendship from absolutely everyone, considering it was a first time introduction for most.
A huge huge thanks has to go to Ash and his lovely wife Jen for offering to help out by supplying the food.
It has occured to me that arrangements for financial help were overlooked before we departed. So we will have sort that out.
Sorry Ash.
The attitude and commeradory within the camp was brilliant and made up for the dreadful weather we had.
It was a good laugh, and for all the years I have attended this show, this was the first time I never actually saw it, spending all my time with you guys.
Looking at the resulting photos of our vehicles, I have to say that all that smoke was deffinately from the BBQ, and not from Dazz's car.
Lots of hilarity was involved in keeping hold of the 2 gazebos when the wind got up to its worst. We even had Ken (Fishingmad) move his car around to the side to try and block the wind a bit. (Didnt work though)
I got caught out when trying to make a cup of coffee under the area where the 2 gazebos met. Not a good idea, as I was hammered by a deluge of water that went straight down the back of my neck. Yuk, horrible.
Everyone else seemed to think it was funny though.
It was my job to supply the BBQ, and guess what? I forgot to bring the utensils. Doh
So a big thanks goes to Ken for arranging to get his daughter to nip to ASDA and buy some new ones. She and her partner and Scooby spent the rest of the day with us. Cracking dog BTW.
I'm glad that all the effort has paid off, and that we took a collective decision to make this our annual Scottish meet. It is very central and makes it reasonably easy for all to get to.
I hope next year we get a much bigger turn out, as when the weather cleared, we generated quite a bit of interest from the public.
It was also nice to see what everyone does to their cars, as we all have different ideas.
We didnt manage to get much done in the way of fixes and small jobs. But we did get Dazz's new rig tuned in for him.
I'm glad we all enjoyed ourselves and thanks to you all. I look forward to our next meet which is being planned for a month or two away.
Regards.
Keith.
