Bradley Stoke Carnival & Car Show - Sat 23rd August

[Krazyken]

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.

[Iancider]

Who could resist an offer like that - I'm in.

[benchmark51]

[chris61]

[Krazyken]

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.

[Moleman]

I will be there.    I haven't seen or heard of any mention of scantily dressed young ladies for this year yet?

You were 'Topless' last year! Can't decide if I want it sunny or not this year now

[Krazyken]

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.

[peterw]

Yep, put me down again , weather  and scantily clad ladies permitting.

[Bulldog Bri]

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
This will.be from the Willy Wicket pub on the ring road to the show field in Bradley Stoke.

[Pilgrim Anna]

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. 

[fullpint]

Oh yes please.. Fingers crossed for great weather like last year..

[Pilgrim Anna]

[Krazyken]

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? 

If you would like to come along and your name is not on the list just state your interest below.

[YellaBelly]

Best get your best bib-and-tucker on Tony, they'll be queueing up for a sit

Hope the weather is good for you guys

[Pilgrim Anna]

Yay!!! Have got day off work so we can leave later if its a success.

[Pilgrim Anna]

Hope stag owners do join convoy that would be fun!

[peterw]

Looks like I'm out, major power plant issues

[Sprint 7]

Back from my hols so I think I can make it weather permitting

[Moleman]

Anyone else up for this then?

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. 

[Pilgrim Anna]

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!! .
My friend and her little one maybe joining us for Convoy. Sorry but she only has a tintop 

[damouk]

Yep I'm up for this one so count me in.... as long as its not raining :S

[Krazyken]

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 !

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 .

I will not be joining the convoy but will meet you all at the site to roll out the red carpet.  See you there.

[YellaBelly]

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

So we get to eat, drink AND be merry

[Iancider]

Yellbelly - it sounds like you have found civilisation! 

[YellaBelly]

Yellbelly - it sounds like you have found civilisation! 

Oh yes! Friendly too

[Grin-a-lot]

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!

[Moleman]

Where about's in Bradley Stoke is it Ken? (In case the convoy gets splint up) 

[damouk]

Anyone else heading from Gloucester'ish way?
