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: 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?

Counting down the days   

[Well I'm NOT going!!!!!!]

Well I'm NOT going!!!!!!









Sorry I should explain..... with my track record of trying to get the buggy there it never quite makes it!  So I reckon if I say Im not going and then just appear there I should be safe!!!!!




So of course its in the diary!!!!!!  ...... I WILL be there!

Andy,

My track record isn`t much better at the moment, but I reckon that there is room on the back for you if I took a detour   

Andy don't worry about ever using your buggy again - just send one of your drones !

Hi Hazel

No problem there, assuming I haven't written it off by then (of which sadly the chances are very very high!) then it will be there for sure! Even if I have to use that unmentionable hairdressers car.... I'm there! 

Ooh  A list

At least 10 BUGGIES for the cruise already!! and there's still 10 months till the event!!

Blimey - Unplugged and kicked off the list already   

We have an outside plug on the carava so  can plug an extension in there for somebody to have power it is not like we will be running 1kw heaters to keep warm.

Dave, I wasn't sure where to put you on the lists - I wasn't 100% sure that Snoopy's extension suggestion was entirely possible. Looks like he's saved the day again 

149 days till N.E.W.S.2016

Thanks for the payment Lawson. 


If anyone else would like to pay for their pitch my PayPal is hazelbuller@hotmail.co.uk
It's only £10 for a tent pitch of £15 for an electric hook up for the whole weekend!


Also (I've asked on the Facebook page already) is there anyone here that would still like a NEWS2016 commemorative sticker?
