GOOD NEWS!! The Bradley Stoke Carnival & Car Show this year will be on Sat 23rd August. I have been asked to organise the car display again this year. The Carnival will be in the same format as last year with a funfair, live music, live radio broadcasts, hot air balloon ascent and a Carnival Parade. For those who missed it last year, the Carnival Parade was on a Brazilian theme with lots of scantily clad young ladies and NO I am not joking - Hairy please post up some pics as a reminder of last year!
The cars are required to be on display from 12 noon until 4pm so there is no need to be up early or home late and you will be able to take in everything the event has to offer. I think a BKCC session on the dodgems should be added to our agenda this year.
All those who attended last year were definitely keen to attend again this year. Please form an orderly queue by putting your names down below.
Who could resist an offer like that - I'm in.
me too please.
im in!

This must be my most popular posting yet - 8 replies in less than 24 hours!!
It's funny, I know it was a great day last year and we were all laughing and joking pretty much all day but I don't recall Hairy or Walnut once mentioning the weather. Now that I've turned 50 my memory must have gone otherwise I'm sure I would have remembered.
Onto the serious bit, the event is staged by Bradley Stoke Town Council as a great family event for the residents of Bradley Stoke and to help raise money for the Mayors chosen charities. The car display was very well received last year with lots of positive comments on the quality and variety of the cars on display especially as we were given short notice. This year we have lots of notice so please ensure that all cars to be displayed are well presented/polished for the event.
I will ask Bulldog Bri to arrange the meeting point/breakfast (Yes Pete I did say Breakfast) so that the cars turn up in convoy at around 11.45am. Bri will then organise the layout of the cars to make a nice display. I will be on site all day with my other duties at this event.
I will need to provide a list of all the cars to the organisers who will want to see a variety of different types of cars. So please can you put your make of car alongside your name below: -
Krazyken - MGF VVC
Iancider
Benchmark 51
Chris 61
Hairy Santa - One from the fleet
Walnut - Merc Replica
Buldog Bri - Pilgrim Bulldog
Pilgrim Anna - Pilgrim Bulldog
I will also need to organise a few classic cars to give a nice mix, so if you know anyone with a classic that would be interested please let me know before I start approaching the classic car clubs.
I will be there. :) I haven't seen or heard of any mention of scantily dressed young ladies for this year yet? ::) :D

Just had an email to confirm that there will be an International Theme to this years event rather than a Brazilian theme however the same team of ladies will be present and entering into the spirit of the "International" event.
So there you have it, I can see a very long queue forming.

Those who attended last year to the front of the Queue
Meeting place for convoy over will be the Willy Wicket Pub Car park 11:30 same as last year.
8)
Yep, put me down again , weather and scantily clad ladies permitting.
I've been told by Krazyken that we will be joined by the Triumph Stag owners club for the convoy/drive in to the event ;D
This will.be from the Willy Wicket pub on the ring road to the show field in Bradley Stoke. :P
8)
We can attend will have to pick up son from Judo at 11.00 with change clothes and rush over to join convoy!!! Again will be leaving by 3.30. :)
Oh yes please.. Fingers crossed for great weather like last year.. :P
We will be there my friend and her daughter tagging along too! But will be leaving 3.30 at very latest as I have to work :(
Hi Guys & Gals
Just a reminder that Walnut and Hairys favourite event of the year is looming upon us on the Saturday of the August Bank Holiday weekend. Bulldog Bri is organising the convoy departing from the Willy Wicket pub at 11.30am to arrive en-mass at Midday. We will also be joined by the Triumph Stag Owners Club to give the day a real kits & classics feel.
If this is new to you please read back through the thread to see what it's all about. Did someone mention that there will be scantily clad young ladies all around our cars? :o :o :o
If you would like to come along and your name is not on the list just state your interest below.

Hope the weather is good for you guys :D
Yay!!! Have got day off work so we can leave later if its a success. :D
Hope stag owners do join convoy that would be fun! ;D
Looks like I'm out, major power plant issues :( :( :(
Back from my hols so I think I can make it weather permitting 8)

There will be a small convoy to the show from The willy Wicket pub on the ring road if your up for this?
Time to be arranged. :)
We are definitely up for this. Will be bit of rush as son has Judo till 11am, but we will do best to be there on time!! ;D.
My friend and her little one maybe joining us for Convoy. Sorry but she only has a tintop :-[
Yep I'm up for this one so count me in.... as long as its not raining :S
The weather forecast looks good at the mo, no rain although not as hot as last year but then again that should mean that Hairy doesn't go topless :o!
The convoy will depart from the Willy Wicket at 11.30 to arrive en-masse at Midday. Then just sit back and enjoy the show!
This year we must have a BKCC stint on the dodgems for a chance to drive around together like the perfect ladies & gentlemen we are without any of this nasty bashing and bumping ;). If that doesn't appeal we can all have a go and smash hell out of each other :P.
I will not be joining the convoy but will meet you all at the site to roll out the red carpet. See you there.
Hope it stays good for you guys, I'm gonna miss not going :(
Still, as a pick-me-up, our local (about 100 yds away) is having an outdoor live music night. They block off the road outside the pub and have a Hog Roast, and two rock bands (both damn good!). So I will be a little less miserable :) :D
So we get to eat, drink AND be merry 8)

I'm aiming to come along but need to get the dashboard back together first so fingers crossed I'm blessed with good luck by the wiring gods tomorrow morning!
Where about's in Bradley Stoke is it Ken? (In case the convoy gets splint up) :)
Anyone else heading from Gloucester'ish way?
Just a thought, the route would have normally gone to Frenchay lights and turned right up through Hambrook, along the Old Gloucester Road, then up into Bradley Stoke.
Problem now is Frenchay lights are a mess so I'm proposing to carry on up to Abbey Wood turn right at Sainsburys through Stoke Gifford and in that way. Everyone clear on that? ;D
Still leaving the Willy Wicket pub at 11:30 anyone can join in at the back on route if they wish. ;)
8)
I will be at the willy wicket mate. Even though I live next to Sainsburys. :) Where exactly is it being held mate? :)
The Jag is back on the road today since 1999, will do my best to be at the site for 12 noon 8)
It's all taking place at the Jubilee Centre, Savages Wood Road. BS32 8HL
8)
Crash Test Dummy will be coming too.
It will be dry but pretty darn cold!

A very nice car ....
Another good day out with the club, and what a turn out. After leading a convoy (again) of roughly 20 cars including 7 cars from the Stag owners club, form the meeting place up to Bradley Stoke and only losing Pete for a while (as far as I know) I think it went Ok ::)
(http://s1.postimg.org/wue47vl7f/20140823_113602.jpg) (http://postimg.org/image/wue47vl7f/)
Once there, quickly sorted out who was parking where, kits on one side and the Stags on the other seemed to work well.

So was the Stag club turning up with us at the Willey Wicket Pub planned, or just a coincident? Nice company.
Its was planned :P

It was nice to catch up with some of the guys here, and a good afternoon, well apart from the showers filling my seat ::)
Good to catch up with everybody again and in a kit this time. The day went well apart a couple of heavy downpours, don't know how I managed to miss the BKCC dodgem challenge though :(

Anybody know what happened to Casino in his Royale? He was at the meet point but not at the carnival.
The noise that people were listening to from my engine turned out to be the water pump ::)
Good turn out there chaps - looking mighty fine :D

Casino (Peter) said he was leaving early due to other commitments. He did turn up for a short while at the carnival.
I also hear that Peter went to the Redhill breakfast this morning.... someone in our village said there was a blue Royale at the breakfast to which I said "I know who that is" .... so news travels fast.
Sadly a story that did go unnoticed was that fact that Alan (almondsburyhills) wanted a ride in the vintage bus but the driver in the cream hat didn't move all day. So Pilgrim Anna stepped in got him out but was unable to start the bus. :'( We shall have to have a word with the bus company for you Alan. :P :P :P
