Title: VBOA 2nd & 3rd July - Billing Aquadrome
Post by: MikeDundee on 13 May 2011, 05:58:15
The Vauxhall Bedford Opel Association National Rally, anyone going this year, I normally attend with ABS. However, this is the weekend before the lakes meet so maybe a bit tight for some folks.

Not sure if I am going myself yet, but it is a very good weekend event :y

Yes were at booked into the Hotel at the front of the park for the weekend.

Will be on the OMOC stand most of the time but wondering around and catching up with folk from different clubs.

Saturday will be busy as it the club cars show so we'll be voting on that which leaves sunday as a chill out day with a curry at Vinies Sunday night before heading home.

See you about

Andy

Will be on the ABS pitch Friday-Sunday! If you see it/me come over and say hello!  :y

Can't wait! That said, I'm still getting all the gear together for the ABS PA system!  :P ... I wonder if 1 lesure battery + 3  car batteries and a genny will be enough   ;D :-X

Unfortunately not  :(

It would be excellent if there was one, although it's very close to the Lakes meet in the calender.  I wanted to attend both this year, but in the end had to make a choice.  :-/

Just thought I would mention that I will be attending Billing.  I am happy to bring any parts that you may required along with me to save on shipping cost.

Please see my thread in the parts for sale section or click here... http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1308754063

Please let me know asap though, to give me chance to get the bits off the car.

Thanks  :y

It's £10 for a car with 4/5 people per day if you're not staying the night. :y

No, as the OOF is a free internet forum and not a Club.

To get a pitch at Billing the OOF would need to become a "Club" which means paying a membership fee each year, as per the the ABS for example.

Once thats done the OOF "club" would then need to apply to the the V.B.O.A and if the V.B.O.A terms are met we'd be in
