Can I ask you guys just to wait before doing this until I get a reply just incase they can't allocate us some club parking spaces & if not I will do a list for the club parking.  :)

Anyone else up for this one then?  :D

All being well I will be going, It was a good day last year.

I'll be there with the Porsche, do we book individually or altogether through the club?

This one is right up my street.. Or should I say just down the road for me  ;D
Went last year and it was a cracking day. Pop me down for this or let me know if I should book it my self.

I will get you guys to book it yourself, You just have to put down you are from B.K.C.C.

What about sending your details off? :)

It will pay to send off your details for this if you are thinking about it? It don't cost anything & will guarantee a place if you end up wanting to go? :)

Guess what working that evening too grrrrrr. We will make it but will need to leave around 3.30 Although we are free to meet up as early as you like in the morning! :D

Has anyone had any details back from these guys yet?  If you have can you let me know?
There web site seems to be down at the moment so I will try tomorrow. I would have thought we would have had something by now. 

Yes, I got a reply back when I registered our cars back in Feb'  ::)

8)

I have found my reply now.  ::) :)

Any more people up for this? :D

Had my pass sent by email today. I haven't used my printer for a long time so had a fair bit of 'tickling' to do to coax it into printing my pass. It is an Epsom that I modded and runs on 6 carts' connected by capillary tubes and fed by 6 ink tanks. Managed to get the ink flowing, after umteen head cleans, head alignment, test page and many inky fingers! Got an acceptable print which I have laminated ready for the screen. Just got to hope the weather behaves now.  8)

so filled in the forms they wanted months ago, now they want us to take and check our insurance documents, just received Email

to much hassle as far as I am concerned

count me out

Have a good time whoever goes

just had my pass come through, cant see where the hassle is. We had people saying the same thing last year, and it turned out to be one of the most laid back shows I went to last year.

I've got my pass come through too. I'm just taking the pass. It will be fine.  ;D

Same here.  Email with pass received :P

8)

As Walnut says they do seem very laid back when you get there & put this on as a precaution.  :)

I've had my pass too but don't think I shall bother going. ::)

Got to be there by 9.30am and must stay to 5.00pm......got better things to do than stay there all day......and if it starts to rain what are we supposed to do, sit in the cars with no hoods getting wet for our trouble???

Think i'll give it a miss. >:(

I wouldn't worry about the times too much. I can understand getting there earlyish, but leave when you have to. I will. I think this is a statement of their preference not an absolute rule.

We went through all this last year. Nobody was asked for insurance papers, and people came and went when they wanted, they just have to cover there selves

My insurance was done online and have no paper copy of it anyway.
My documents are checkable via the database for anyone entitled to look.
The police are happy with that and so am I, so won't be taking insurance papers.

That's the impression I got. They are a friendly bunch so it is worth going & you can leave when you want.   8)

Hope the weather is better than this weekend, they are a good bunch doing an event for charity, they only ask to stay as long as possible so late arriving visitors get to see the show cars. But they won't stop you if you want to leave, can't see me staying till 5 either.

Not taking paperwork either, they can either let us in or turn us away :P And won't be staying till the end as Anna is working that eve. ;D

8)

Who is up for Meeting at the White Harte at 9 am this Sunday to take the short 15 minute drive to the show so we can all park together.  8)

Yup :P See you there ;D

8)

Well ahh! I'll be there too ;D

Got to wait for the wife to finish work so I will turn up around 11 ish. Bri; Last year I took all my papers but no one asked for them. And people just turned up and left as they pleased..  ;D

Anyone else up for meeting at the White Harte pub at 9am to go in convoy? Or still going this Sunday?

I will meet you there, Iv had enough of convoys for a bit

You can take the lead if you like mate. I can drive behind you & stop any slow moving traffic that gets in our way?  8)

If I took the lead you never know where we would end up.....LOL

QuoteI will meet you there, Iv had enough of convoys for a bit

Did the U-boats that put you off?

Colin.
       Did you find out if they are going to give us a club space.

I did ask them mate but I now can't remember if they would do this or you just have to turn up together to park next to each other.
I have Emailed them now to see what the situation is.  :)

I'll be taking the banner and set things up so that we've got an area for us ;)
Just wondering if any one has one of those pop up gazebos that could be used on the day for some possible shelter, I can bring my trailer for chairs as well.

8)

Weather is important to us and it decides Whether we will go... see what I did there? :D

The outlook is GOOD ish.  But recently the only consistent thing about weather forecasts have been their inconsistency.  This morning Carol Kirkwoood (lovely lady) hinted it was looking good for the weekend then later the same morning anouther BBC forecaster said it is not looking too good and then on Channel 4 we were told it was looking pretty good but there were blue blobby bits on the chart. 

So I have taken a good look at the weather widget - Shepton Mallet being the closest.  GOOD all day Friday = drying ground.  DRY with sun all day Saturday = DRY GROUND probably.  Sunday cloudy but dry until 16:00.  So cross fingers...

All I forecast is that the next forecast will be different!

I have a pop up gazebo mate but I cant bring it & the westy at the same time.

I've got a kit car, I haven't got  a pass, the car is road legal can I come along and join in and meet up with you lot anyway or say bugger and not bother at all. :P  :-* :-\ ;D

You can have my pass.

Tony I have had a reply & it's a case of turn up & park when you get there so no allocated spaces mate.  :)

OK Thanks

Exhibitors are required to register and have a pass, they get in free. Spectators pay a fiver to get in. Just turn up with the rest of us, we won't grass you up and I doubt they'll notice. At worst it'll cost you a fiver 8)

I will prob. join you in convoy, if you will still have me .........LOL

Always room for 1 more Tony :P

  8)

Just sent my form off for this. 11 bob to send 1 piece of paper 8 miles! >:( 

That's equal to 1 months take home pay when I started my apprenticeship 'n' years ago !

Ok, rant over. It's just I haven't had one for a while.  ;D ;D

Benchmark,
        who do you think you are...me, you already have your pass for this show, I think you are a little mixed up with the shows........LOL

I dunno, not so long ago it was just me wuckin murds I got fuddled

It's only if you want to do the parade laps mate. It's free if you just want to go to the show.  :)
Whats 11 bob?  ???

One more than 10    :(

Who's Bob ;D

8)

Fanny's husband ;D

OK how much is a Bob? & don't say a bit more than a Dave.  :D

Dave you could have delivered it by hand as Chipping Sodbury ain't far.  ;)

PS if you want to hear a rant it cost me a lot more to send off all your forms for the last show & for the stamped address envelope to receive them back again only for one could be bothered to pick them up. That's why you send for them yourself from now on.  >:( 

Moleman - I think you need a (track)day out to let off a bit of steam ;D ;D ;D

I think your right mate.  ;D

Thanks mate I will. That was funny.  :P

I'll be there. 

Google predicts 23 mins Colin so we need a prompt departure - or if it is 15 minutes, we will do our best to keep up! :P ;)

Weather is looking GOOD and only a small chance of a shower today so ground is likey to be soft but not boggy.  Rumour of "SUN" by 10:00 and no rain all day YEHHH! 8)

Hope so, but just in case I went down Ranjani's and got a brolly. Cost me 50 bob!  8)

As weather forecast is good I will meet you all there.

What's the plan......get there 9.30ish then look for the club banner or meet up outside?

    Tony

I will have to meet you guys there I'm afraid as the car is still missing a cycle wing. Sorry due to work I haven't been able to get them done in time. :(

Tony. If the meeting point is out your way then we will have to meet you in there mate. We should be there by 25 past.   They don't let you save spaces for other people I'm afraid. I'm going to be late so I probably wont be parked next to you guys myself.  ::)

Paintman
             If you park up just inside the gate you will be able to join us as we come in.

Just checked my goggle map & it still says 15mins from the white Harte to Allington Farm. Mine must be set on the way I drive then.  :P

Nope,

Google must have been taken over by the Met Office and so the forecast journey time changes frequently! ;D

Weather was 100% perfect.. Company the same. Good turn-out. Will load a few pics later

Was a good turn out and worth going if only to see so many people getting Chuffed around the field and square and round bales being wrapped! :o

Anna's doing a few photo's later as well. ;) (of the show ;D)

8)

It was a really good day. Great weather good company & lots to see.  8)
I do wish they would let us out the way we came in though. It was very challenging for me & Fullpint to exit the place. But worth the effort.  8)

It was a rather convoluted way out ??? and seeing the way we came in wasn't being used, Why couldn't it be used for a way out at that time of day, no more exhibiters were going to coming in! ::)

8)

A great day out! But need your woodwork skills again Colin. I cracked my wooden trim on back bumper again :(. Other than that a perfect day. Enjoy the pics.

Nice pictures Anna. :)
Ok what did you do this time?  ::) Just get Bri to drop one off to me & I will see what I can do.   ;D

It was a little tricky getting out Colin.. I did notice a hay bail forming underneath your car  :D

You will have to cut the hedge a bit smaller then mate.  ;)

Yes it was a good day. 

It was little ironic to put the piglets and lambs alongside the barbie. And given current trends, I thought rhe horses looked worried too!

Good to see a gender balance in our attendance and a good age spread too.  Loved meeting Steve and Sandy's Gandchildren - they are SOooo CUTE!

I had some other little visitors in my car - helped in by their parents who declined to politely ask first.  So I watched from a distance and thought it okay but spent the journey howm glued to a sticky steering wheel.  So little visitors are okay but could the parents give them a wipe-down first please! ??? >:(

We also enjoyed the spy in the sky helicopter video camera - Hopefully some video will be posted - may post some myself!

The exit was err interesting - I think we should propose an alternative next time.  I agree that the guy on the entrance could have held the traffic for our exit.  It was also doubly daft because the car park for the visitors was closer to the exit than the entrance!

Yes, I had a little visitor or two as well. Had a good go at the switches, everything turned on. Must of thought it was pretty crap 'cos nothing worked! I always switch the electrics off when parked.

I had a yuk burger, would have been better off playing squash with it! Was going to suggest having a whip round so we could have shared a cup cake. A chip van would have been very welcome there though or maybe a spud-u-like.

We spotted some celebs, Rolf in the the chuffy train and Lara Croft in her best shorts. Half expected her to whip out a gun and shoot down the drone.

Still, very lucky with the weather which helped make it a good day out. I agree they should have let us out of the entrance we came in through, wasn't like there were queues waiting to get in

We did get a little mention on the Chippenham Lions page http://e-clubhouse.org/sites/chippenham/page-6.php :P

Well done Ian. A great vid. And thanks for letting my son Joao have a go! :)

Brilliant Video Ian.  Nice to see my Great Grandad is still alive and well. ;)

Granddad is doing ok Ken. The toilet breaks are getting more frequent but nothing a pair of strong elastic on the bottom of his trousers won't help.  :P

Excellent video Ian.. That's a handy little camcorder you have there.. I must get one... Whats the make and model?

Its a GoPro Hero 3 Black Fullpint.  No viewfinder so you cant see what you are shooting but with wide angle you dont miss much.  The GoPro Black has Bluetooth and you can remote control it with phone/ipad.  You might whince at the price but it will also film fish underwater!

I am pleased you enjoyed the video but I was so impressed with the quadcopter video camera.  I've tried to find some published footage from it but nothing yet.  Here is what it was

And here is a perfect showreel from a rival.   8)

Whip-round?

Impressive! :D

I have also been looking at some of the cheaper video helicopters on ebay which start from about £40..... not sure how good they are for that sort of money but certainly interesting.

I was impressed with how stable it was and when he lost control it just sat in the hover.

I had this from the guys that run this show so thought I would share it with you.



We thank all of you who attended the show this year, made it a huge success,
and helped us raise more than £7000 for our Charity Fund. 
http://www.e-clubhouse.org/sites/chippenham/page-6.php
We hope you will continue to support us in our quest to raise money for our charities.
Please mark this date in your diary for 2015, email invites will be sent in the new year.

Chippenham Lions Cherished Vehicle Show and Fun Farm Day
Sunday June 7th 2015, Allington Farm, Chippenham

I will do that mate.  :D
