got couple, dunno how long they are, will chuck em in.

Are we going to need flood lighting? as i can bring that along!  

Looks like this:



It needs a power box for it which i also have...

Maybe a bit OTT? Up to you though!

Problem with those lighting types, they do hit gennys hard...

We got gennys then? No standard power sockets for burger vans?

The leccy hookups are part of another site (on same site, if that makes sense). Most of use will be on the field with no leccy, so Ian_D is organising some gennys to run when required (though obviously off at night)

The big genny was on last time until about an hr before we all called it a night! (Cant remember what time that was, guessing around midnight - 1:00 ish) I dont mind it been on for the lights, but they maybe a bit too bright on our eyes... that was what I was thinking anyway!

I think the big floods may be a bit overkill for an evenings barbeque/booze up. I remember at Newent a couple of years ago we had some white rope lights which worked well.
Anyone got any of those they can bring along maybe?
The only ones I have are multi coloured but I could bring them if we're stuck.

No point in the flood lights then, as you say they will suck too much juice

And you may need room in your car to cart a few bits for me  

If its food, it may not be there when i arrive  

Tractor parts! Maybe a few PC bits as well....

Bear in mind some people may want to get their head down a bit earlier - I normally get to midnight and get tired, or will catch 2nd wind and go on for hours - particularly perhaps those with little ones, so noisy genny may be an issue after, say, 10:30ish?  Also, many of use are under cnavas, so it there are blackpool illuminations outside, that may be an issue after people start going to bed  :-/


I have a rechargable flourescent tube that runs for about 3hrs (1 tube) or 90mins (both tubes) before it needs a charge, which might be handy for later on, and sure a few gas lamps can deal with lighting once people start to want to get their heads down who are pitched nearby.

Broocie's 1970s disco rope light you means

Did work remarkably well, giving a nice, subdued atmosphere

Lighting inside the big tent is sorted! Its the lighting for outside(ie walking to / from caravans/tents/bogs thats a bit dark, thats all!)

My genny is noisy tbh, and I forgot that last year there were no kids! So I guess we will have to switch to battery like TB says above around 10:30 mark. (Or when it runs out of petrol like last year a couple of times  )

So if I bring the rope lights, you bring your ABBA cds and we can all dance around one of Loo-knee's handbags.

I've thought about coming as I've got family in York.

I'd only be able to make it for a couple of hours but I'd be really interested in getting opinions on my oil/coolant leak problems.
Would anyone be able to have a look at it for me if I do go? What's the best day to solicit help?

Mrs TB has camped enough to know to take a torch with her to get to bogs, presumably there is lights in there?

As a starter for 10, has the BBQ situation been resolved - traditionally at OOF meets, we tend to have a big BBQ that we all gather round in the evenings - which helps make it a more social affair than if everyone all did their own seperate things in their own tents in the evenings.

As said elsewhere I'll have my large gas bbq with me that folks are more than welcome to use. To give a clue to its size it takes 2 to lift and a lot of arguing to get it through the pikey palace door. I'll also have the grill and hobs in the caravan, and the bbq has a hob on the side.

If anyone wants to know where things are locally then feel free to ask Ian or myself and we'll point you in the right direction.

I'm sure it features in one of last years photo's, Guy's stood near it!

I can't look now as Can't see photo's at work.

Yes bogs are all lit up, they are in the pavilion which is mains powered!  

I was meaning more for kids etc... anyway I guess Im over engineering things again! I ALWAYS go OTT with stuff for meets like this... all I can say is 'If you thought I took a load of stuff to the York meet last year, they you aint seen nowt!' Lol!  

My todo / take list is a FULL A4 sheet!  

Stu's knocking at the front door now, so will ask him to check the list and see if i've missed anything!!

Is it gas or charcoal? Actually, my Q is more, is there enough stuff (gas or charcoal) to keep it running for all those hungry mouths....

[Vamps]

Bit confused on the 'Hook Up' Ian, thought you said we could hook up to the pavilion rather than generators, or am I getting two separate set ups mixed up :-/ :-/ :-/
