Anyone else up for this one this sunday?

                                                                                            Tony

[Moleman]

I can't make saturday but if the weather is better sat then no probs. I'm still waiting for a new brake light pressure gauge which should be here soon so I might still be off the road this weekend. 

[YellaBelly]

Haven't we got the BBQ Saturday at Dave's? I'm game for Sunday though, weather permitting

[WALNUT]

All exhibitors may be asked to produce there insurance certificates at this show, as well

[evolution]

Why? 

[WALNUT]

I supose its to cover there insurance needs
                                                                   Tony

[evolution]

ok, never been asked for that in my entire life (21 years  )

[WALNUT]

Ive never been asked to show my insurance ether, over a lot more years than 21

[evolution]

 

[Moleman]

Don't think I will bother on this one then.      If we are road legal, showing a tax disc then we have insurance. I'm not liking the way this is going, I hope it is not going to be trend with all shows? 

[WALNUT]

A lot say the same thing, read the small print, I cant see what the probblem is.
                                                                                                                   Tony

[evolution]

it's the fact they ask to see it - in what capacity?

[WALNUT]

Why not try asking the show organisers

[Moleman]

I will call them tomorrow Tony. 
It does just seem abit much to me mate thats all.
I know some of it must be for Health & Safety reasons it just seems abit much. 

[Moleman]

You don't need your insurance doc's for this one.     The bummer now is I don't know if I can make it until tomorrow. 

[WALNUT]

[Moleman]

I rang them & they said we didn't need them. I got the impression they didn't know where I got that idea from? I gess he hasn't read the rules then. 

I'm up for going if i can make it. I will just say I haven't got them on me if they ask? It will be a nice drive if I get turned around? 

[WALNUT]

I never take my documents with me, but I have never been asked for them at any show.

[evolution]

What time is anyone heading down?

[WALNUT]

I will be going on the sun. but dont really know what time.

If anyone is going I can meet them at the Ship Inn at Alveston (A38 just past turning to Thornbury) at 10.00 give or take a few minutes.
