Anyone in need of a small car cover? Fits for the buggy or (surprise surprise) a small car for the winter... £30ono only used once when I'd temporary misplaced my other one.

N.E.W.S. 2017 The event where the North, East, West and South get together in the Middle.

N.E.W.S. is a chilled out beach buggy oriented weekend to bring like-minded people from around the UK to camp, cruise and undoubtedly get a little silly.

Date: 14, 15, 16th July 2017
This year we will be staying at Lower Lode Inn again, which is where we camped in 2013.

http://www.lowerlodeinn.co.uk

I have booked and paid for the campsite that offers 10 electrical hook ups (hopefully enough this year) and should take another 15 'normal' pitches, which I am able to offer to you more cheaply than advertised on their website. There are also a number of rooms if others would like to book a bed.

Grass pitch with electric hookup (10 available) £21 per weekend
Grass pitch with no electric hookup £15 per weekend


If you would like to come along please let me know and if you would like to pay for your pitch my paypal is hazelbuller@hotmail.co.uk

Well behaved pets are most welcome.

There will be commemorative decals to remember the event, all proceeds to go to Alzhiemer's Society

The Cruise - Saturday
Likely set off at 11am from the pub on the Saturday to do our cruise. If you want to come along on the cruise you are more than welcome but please let me know so I know roughly how many buggies to count for. There will of course be a photo stop or two to line up all the buggies.

I've got 2x pretty worn Firestone tyres - 196 60 15 going spare for someone to use for a rolling project if anyone wants them? Perhaps in exchange for some beer tokens? At the last MBC meet, some said I could get at least another 1000-odd miles out of them, others said they should definitely be changed. You decide.

Ideal for a party, it has only been used once.
Has stainless mesh grill, lid make a wind brake. and detachable legs.






£35 and can bring to NEWS or probably deliver locally.

 

Looks like we are all trying to sell our trailer tents this year.


I got this one at the end of summer last year and haven't actually had a chance to use it - can bring it to NEWS for anyone who would like it.


2 man trailer tent, bit rough around the edges
Very light, I don't have a trailer license but I can tow it (can't remember exact weight)
Comes with the outside awning thingy if you want to put it up an have even more space



Would anyone take it of our hands at £300?

Would any of you happen to have a windscreen/mirror bracket spare??

Date: 8/9/10th July 2016
Location: The Gate Hangs High, Banbury
 
Well behaved pets are most welcome.
 
The Venue
The Gate Hangs High is a homely pub with a campsite situated in Hook Norton near Banbury and Chipping Norton. The cruise hopes to include sites though Chipping Norton, Banbury and beyond.
Prices are cheap, at only £10 tent and £15 electric hook up for both the Friday and Saturday night together.
All the hooks ups are already provisionally accounted for - TBC.
 
Commemorative Stickers
Currently, I'm unsure whether to arrange for any commemorative stickers to remember the weekend by this year as interest in them seemed to be lower than previous years- so maybe we can find another way to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society? If you could like a sticker, please say and if you have any suggestions of other ways to raise some money for the charity, again, please say…

The Cruise - Saturday
I think we’ll aim to set of at 11am from the pub on the Saturday to do our cruise around Banbury and the surrounding area. It won’t be as long as last year… If you want to come along on the cruise you are more than welcome but please let me know so I know roughly how many buggies to count for. There will of course be a photo stop or two to line up all the buggies. It was suggested, last year that we got a shot outside of the Brewery, but that would need to be on the Friday really.
 
Breakfasts, meals & Curry/BBQ night - Saturday night
The pub are happy to cook up breakfasts each morning, and it is useful if you could let the guys at the pub know a number the night before. It is beneficial to book a table. If you would like another (cheaper alternative to the main menu) curry night, that can be arranged. A BBQ is another possibility but it’s really up to you guys.

Hook Norton Brewery Tour - Friday
Last year we had our own exclusive tour around the Hook Norton Brewer which we can do again if popular enough. On Friday the tour times are 11.00am and 2.00pm, but everyone has their commitments and may not be able to get there that early - so if we have a group of 10 or more people, we can have a later tour to ourselves. Also if you arrive early enough you’ll see the Shire horses delivering Hooky beer to the pub for us!
 
Open Tap Take Over - Thursday night
On the second Thursday of the month, at the Hook Norton Brewery they have an Open Tap Takeover which is a free event, to go along and have a chat with the brewers, try new beer from Crafty Ales and remind yourself of the traditional Hooky favourites - so if anyone did want to take advantage of this and stay and extra night it would be an additional £5 for camping.
 
Other activities on the Thursday
If you did want to get their a day early and pitch up to take advantage of the open tap take over - I guess we’ll need to organise some fun and games to keep ourselves amused on the Thursday - suggestions?
