Lincoln Meet 2006 ( September 15th - 17th )

I wish I could make it, but financial and time commitments will see to it that I can't. Sounds like a lot of fun though.

Perhaps though someone can do me and JMM (Jean-Marie) a favour though? Sophie has very kindly offered to take a stereo back to France from the meet with her for us. Can anyone local who is going take it to Lincoln for me and pass it on?

I am in Bristol, and obviously can either meet anyone on their way up the M5 corridor through Bristol. Otherwise if anyone en-route to Grantham could take it up for me, I've got a business meeting there on Tuesday (not confirmed yet) so I'll be passing by late Tue Afternoon and coming back on Wednesday.

If anyone is able to help, it would be greatly appriciated. Cheers.

I always thought your 480 'lucy' only boosted into the yellow! Well I drove it and it's all to the red

hehe

I've always known she goes into the red, I obviously drive it with a bit more care! Cheeky s***t!!

Could we stop turning this thread into a private conversation and talk about the meeting ?

martinholmesuk · Post by **martinholmesuk** » Thu Sep 07, 2006 9:43 pm

I'll think about it and let you know.

the act of me attending this meeting is in doubt...

i have a broken gearbox and need to get it fixed, so until then i have no 480.

Well we are more or less set for this meeting.

@JT where do you fancy meeting up? Stu will be poping round this week to plan a route so can pick you up on the way.

Also has everyone got their sponges and swiffer dusters to chase Sophie with

Full Address of the Pub/Campsite
Brownlow Arms, Ferry Road, High Marnham, Nr Tuxford, NG23 6SG.

Remember if you haven't paid your Reg fee its Â£5 per person

Camping is Â£5 per tent per night (reduced from last year)pay nikki on arrival please.

Remember to bring chairs for when the pub finally closes

As Lee is providing a Marquee so will be gr8 even if wet.

If anyone has any camping lights they can bring that would be good.

Electric Hook up points ( Caravan style) are available but will be charged extra for and are further away from where we camp.

Please also note the Treasure Hunt to the coast will start at 12 Noon on Saturday, so we have some time in Ingoldmells / Skeggy.

See you all soon.

If I forgot anything I'm sure you'll let me know if Nikki hasn't already!!!

Fantastic. I've got a cheapo gazebo that I can dig outa the cellar (if the moths and mildew haven't done for it) if that would be of any use too.

Do they allow candles (suitably protected) on the campsite? ... 'cos you can make a great lantern from a candle, a coke bottle and a bit of wire (Sticky back plastic optional

).

How much more? Could we perhaps add 10p to everyone's price and get access to one hookup? I have an extenstion lead that I've made for caravan hookups for when I go camping elswhere and am happy to bring this and a number of loooong extenstions - this will get power to our marquee area, which will be an easier way to getting lights and leccy at our pub-closed meeting point, and will be far simpler than the generator.

If a generator is deffinately going, then fair nuff, but wqas just thinking of an easier way to get proper lights to the marquee (I can bring site lights too)

LMK.

I think electric would be better than a generator, would we be allowed to have the generator on at night anyway? just thinking of everyone else on site
