Club passes have arrived....  Tatton is totally over subscribed this year and they are at max capacity. They think this will be the biggest ever VWNW.  If you have been before you will know this is a big show normally so this year could be quite special.   As a result they have limited the numbers of passes for any one club.  We have 15.

So from this list :

Krug + family
Mr & Mrs Shaggy ( Fri & Sat)
Crowey, Jeanette & Josh (Fri & Sat)
Mr & Mrs Undecided-yet (Fri & Sat)
Dave Dream (Sat & Sun)
Allan (Sat)
Lee (Sat)
Hazel (if buggy is on road)
Fran (Possible)
Paddy (Possible)
Chad (Probable Sat)
George (Possible)
Peter (Possible)
ManxDavid (Sat and Sun)
GP jools (Sat ... didnt ask but I hope Sun as wel)
aorange + Mrs. aorange (Sat & Sun)
Jayson's Dad (Lawson) (Sat)

I have worked this out as (plus added Greetz and Shilly):

1. Krug
2. Shaggy
3. Crowey
4. Mr Undecided-yet
5. Dave Dream
6. Fran
7. Paddy
8. Chad
9. George
10. Peter
11. ManxDavid
12. GP jools
13. Aorange
14. Shilly
15. Greetz Patrik

I know a few of you were "possible for Sunday" so could you please confirm asap.  If I dont get a response by 2 weeks before I will offer your places out to anyone else.  Also if there are any others that have not responded (and if Hazel has her buggy on the road) please let me know and I will have a quiet word with the organisers.  We will have a RMCH Charity tent as always and we may be able to sneak some more buggies in around that :)  But I cant promise.  Hazel you are the exception :)  I will definatley be able to get one more in and will keep this just in case for you given you said possible quite early  ;-)up

Hi guys, I raised £100 today from the sale of dvd's, the money is going to the RMCH, thanks to those of you who donated the dvd's. I do have some left over if anyone is interested!

Thanks Hazel. Still very few buggies entered for the actual concours.

Next time mate ... would be nice to see Ginge again soon now you have fixed things

Davy

Hope you can make it and good look as the progress you have made recently looks really good

Deepower

Definatly come up to the Bulls Head and have a look / chat..  The buggies will be in Crowden so only a mile or two further on ... I am planning a drive out .... if people are not tired will head out Barnsley way and if they are just a short loop on the Woodhead and loop back into Glossop (great road and fantastic views).  You are welcome to join even if you are in your daily as I am sure someone will have some space and it may give you more inspiration.... lets hope the weather stays like this   ;-)up

1. Krug
2. Shaggy
3. Crowey
4. Mr Undecided-yet

Chad great news  :) ;-)up :) ;-)up :)

The above is the YHA place near me.  Its really nice. Private rooms. Very clean. Proper facilities (even a bar) breakfast is £4.99) plus in an amazing location (plus very safe for parking buggies).  So instead of lugging camping gear around this seemed like a better option.

The down side ... nothing near it.  So that is where the landlord of my local came in..... He can sort a mini bus at discount.   Its 3 miles from where I live.  We can get it for £10 a trip.   My new local is really nice if you like old traditional pubs with good food.  Built in 1016 so really old.   He will certainly look after us and I can state for definate his beer is good (I have drunk enough of it).

So the idea was on Saturday when we get back from the hospital a cruise into the Derbyshire hills.  Then you go back ... I shoot home and then landlord and I come back to give you lifts to the pub.  That way we only need a mini bus to get home  ;-)up
