Title: Newent 2013 Chat & Discussion
Post by: Seth on 03 November 2012, 15:36:44
I've spoken with Gail, and can now confirm that the site has been booked for Friday 30 August/Saturday 31 August 2013.


Building on the firm foundations already established by Daz, I'm putting forward a few of my own ideas for your perusal:

* A welcoming cuppa (courtesy of Mrs Seth) upon your arrival :y

* A 'table-top' kinda effort - ie; bring/exchange/flog Omega bits'n'bobs .... you get my drift? 8)


Feel free to comment/offer your own ideas/suggestions - or generally chat here specifically about the meet ;)
Humorous banter welcome essential! :y

Looks like my birthday party a few years back. It all went a bit "Apocalypse Now!". When it said "bury" on that roman candle they weren't joking. So, I guess pressing it into the lawn and twisting it back and forth a few times wasn't good enough? :-[

Its not ruled out yet. I was going to look into it again last week, but I had a bit of a sense of humour failure with OOF  :-[

Well you missed the Meet ... :)

I took a small tent that is was some years old, had been well used, and not in the best condition, but with a shelter over the top I stayed warm and dry, and had a good time .. :)

Said tent was also used in the autumn last year ... much, much stronger winds were giving it somewhat of a hard time, but the final straw was an inebriated idiot gentleman tripping over an extended guy rope on the way back from a very early "hedge ticket" and landing fully on top of the thing. Couple of tears in the fabric and a very bent pole - but said gentleman was unhurt although the bruises came out a day later :)

I believe the correct phrase is "beyond economical repair" (The tent - not the gentleman)  :)  :)  :)

Assuming that the customary Saturday evening Quiz and 'AGM' goes ahead, I'm proposing that those present hold a minute's silence in memory of Paul Lovejoy.

Have spoken with one or two confirmed attendees, and they completely agree with this. :y
Please feel free to discuss further.



IMPORTANT:
Have also been in touch with Gail our site owner, and she's reiterated the need to observe the previously-agreed closing date for our party, due to her other commercial commitments.

Best get yer skates on if you're thinking of joining us, as Wednesday 1 August is when bookings must close. ;)

Well what a thoroughly enjoyable long weekend - we arrived Thursday.  We intented to go out and about Thursday afternoon, but Mrs TB's glamping towers took a little longer than expected to set up, so we got set up, then relaxed.

Friday, we went for a walk in the Forest of Dean with Jimbob, Mrs Jimbob/Ljay and the kids and dogs, only to find the friggin' pub was closed at lunchtime :o. Never mind, we found one at Ross where I got chilli, rice and chips for £2 :o. Granted, not the best I've ever had, but far from the worse. How the hell do they do it?

Friday night, and most people turn up. A few of us decided to get a takeaway curry in, just as a change from burgers and bangers, and then the usual evening of sitting around under the event shelters, trying a beverage or 2, chatting and laughing. As is now tradition, as we're a civilised bunch, the evening draws in with cheese and port.

Saturday morning starts with a hearty breakfast before some of the girls go off shopping, and some of the boys play cars. Gixer and I both had cambelts changed, BobG had a 4 pot crank sensor replaced - what a bastard job that is - and rear polys went on Seth's TD and AndyB's Elite.  Seth's TD had it's spare ECU programmed to the immobiliser and I had the ABS codes read, confirming my fears. Not sure what else was done, as after that I started on the applejuice, and then the evening got in full swing, including getting the site owner over to express our thanks, and then the quiz...  ...in which Mr DTM got an Omega question wrong ;D. More whisky, more cheese and port, and I kept helping myself to Guffers barrel of very moreish liquid refreshment.


A fantastic meet, both Mrs TB and I really enjoyed.  I hope next year we can get back to 2 meets a year.

Thanks to Seth for organising this, and a personal thanks to Marks DTM for the work he did to my car, and to NF who must have brought a complete toolkit, as every tool I asked for just turned up ;D.  But, more importantly, thanks to everyone for turning up, and helping out in whatever ways you could, and making it a thoroughly enjoyable weekend :y

A little problem that may have arisen is the lack of a large BBQ. Previously, we had always managed to use the services of Chef bob.dent, or the BBQ of dad1uk.

Anyone going have a BBQ that they don't mind the group using in the evening?

I can take mine .. but you know the size of it .. as it cooked your dinner at Billing !! It will do the job, but in shifts !!

If you've got room in your van, Mr E, I have a two burner bbq, i think similar in size to your bbq, that could be used.....I just havent the room to bring it, with a 14kg gas bottle. Theres not a lot a room in the back of these Octavia estates!

Looks like Mr and Mrs G will be dropping in over the weekend on our way to Tenby.  Something to do with a small swim, a little bike ride and then a jog around the park.

What you need for that sort of exercise is burgers and beers. Lots of both

Afterwards, the finish line party is something else to behold.  Lots of beer, pizza, burgers and at 11pm the locals are still there cheering the last competitors in.  It is a truely unique race :y
