In the diary will confirm once I know what my shifts and holidays are looking like :)
Definitely got this one in the diary ;-)up
We will be at the show on Sunday and for the meal on Saturday night. :D
Plan is to be there and after last year dont think there and back in the same day is a great idea (which we did last year) but that will depend on commitments nearer the time
Looking forward to this weekend as always. Really hope to see some new faces there this year.
Will be coming and camping
Both Grace & I will be in attendance, I always enjoy the run out for tea along with the camping. ;-)up ;-)up 8)
I will be going.
Looking forward to catching up with some folk. ( not you Doug 😁)
I have arranged our usual Club Camping spot at the rear of the Grand Ring, and we have more than enough space for anyone and everyone to attend
All are welcome to this ;-)up
Planning on attending 😀👍
Looking forward to it :D
I certainly intend being there but almost definitely won't be camping I think - just up for the usual Sunday meet?
You bringing your tree trimmer too Andy 😁😁😆

Hmmmmm..... ;D ;D ;D
Nope... but I might bring little Sparky - He's sort of a downgrade from the Phantom but much more practical.... oh and better obstacle avoidance! :P :P :P
Just make sure Cam's around
;D
So 4 from the NBC sorted / booked tonight .... Jools/ Dave/ Paul and myself .... not camping but will be there on the Sat..... Hotel :) and leaving Sunday afternoon. We couldnt miss this as Shaggy as made this the "event"
For the Newbies coming to Stoneleigh . .
If you have never been before, it is Europe's, if not the World's largest Kit Car show. There are lots of big indoor halls with Manufacturers showing off the latest Kits, Trade stands with parts and a huge showground filled with just about every kit car club you can imagine.
As far as the Buggies go, we have a large display area where a few years back, managed to get 108 of us together breaking all UK records, and I have booked enough camping space that no matter how many turn up, we will find you somewhere to park and pitch up with us. Everybody is welcome.
The show is Officially Sunday / Monday, but they do allow us in from mid day on Saturday for setting up. For those coming over on Saturday, Vanessa has organised a tea time cruise to a Fish & Chip restaurant, so make sure you get your name down on it by following this link so she can book spaces. If last year was anything to go by, its an awesome place that should not be missed.

Lets break the record and get loads more there
;-)up ;-)up ;-)up ;-)up ;-)up
Hoping to attend , would be great to meet some of you on the sunday ;-)(-;probably ,buggy wont be ready :'(tho
IMPORTANT !!
For those of you coming over on Saturday, Vanessa is arranging a cruise to the Chip Shop like we did last year - we need numbers asap so we can book for bums on seats - awesome little cruise and really good chips !!
Everybody welcome ;-)up
http://www.beachbuggy.info/index.php/topic,11234.0.html
I can't remember if it's OK to pay on the gate (think I did last year) or whether you have to book in advance? Planning to arrive Sat early pm.
You can pay on the gate for this one, and I have already booked enough space for everyone to be on the club stand, and a huge camping area for us all.
Everybody and anybody is welcome to this one, and camping is also open to those without Buggies too ;-)up ;-)up ;-)up
Dave, just in case I decide to come on the Saturday, where is the camping area in relation to the daytime display pitch,

No idea what number they have given it this year but usually Area 7 at the back of the site.
Drive past our display area and turn left towards the "Lodge" which is their B&B area around the back, and as you drive past the lodge car park on your left, and then past the toilet block on your left, the site opens up into a large area to the right, and you will see some Buggies ahead of you on the right. If bringing trailers, please leave them in the centre of this area so we can get everyone in.

Me, Ollie and Dai are hoping to make it up late on Sat.
If anybody wants to meet up on route from the South or S/Wales give me a shout our RV is the M4 dinner at Hullavington Airfield for lunch around 1'Oclock.
I'm heading up for the weekend. Will be dragging my buggy behind my T5 (first time towing :o)

If you want me to bring up any Fleeces, Sweatshirts or Elvis Models, please let me know asap ;-)up
Hi Dave
Looking to come to the show on Sunday and bring the Doon as this will be her first time to Stoneleigh.
I was not able to attend last year so looking forward to meet up with you guys again.
All the best

Flags I'm definitely going on Saturday but was going to pay for camping on the gate, so I could use it.
You are welcome to it matey but not going to be there till after 4 if that's good for you?
If yes, I'll message my mobile number to you.
I'm going to be there a couple of hours earlier than that so if there's anyone else who can use it, shout up and I'll pay on the gate.
Have a great time, looks like you wont be freezing in the tents like some years.
Pity me, spent the day cleaning the house for photos as trying to sell :(
One tip, dont buy the drill sets from the great big tool stall in the main gallery (Mark - Zip Buggy knows who I mean) as you will struggle to find metal soft enough for them to get through.
Dave
Hi guys ( and ladies).....
Me and a friend are also coming to Stoneleigh .
We planned to go by camper but today when i picked it up, i've noticed there was a faillure with the brakes......
So we have to change our plans and will come by car.
This means we will be limited by lugage....
This also means we won't be able to bring a bbq, chair etc with us.
So, I know there is always a bigger BBQ at the 'camp' of the VW buggies... Can we abuse some space, so we don't have to eat raw meat :D ?
If someone has got some extra ( 2) outdoor chairs..also nice.....
We will also be limited with some Begian beer ( cooling will also be a problem...) but I'll do my best...
See you all saterday/sunday.
Grtz Erwin

Erwin,
Of course we can find you some space on the BBQ - no problems - but we will be lighting that one on Sunday night.
On Saturday tea we are going to a Fish and Chip shop, and I am sure that we can find some space and a spare seat in the Buggies for you and your friend to come and join us if you want to - nobody gets left behind !!
It will be good to see you again ;-)up

The drills do a couple of holes if you are lucky then blunt.
No I won't be getting there this year trying to sell the house so loads to-do. Will only do local runs this year until we have moved.
Enjoy yourselves

Search has expanded to the West Country as well but still some houses near Matlock we are interested in.
Just got to sell then road trip house hunting
Bit busy now, got to find that bucket and some straw
Hope everyone has a great time over the weekend. It's will be the first one I've missed in about 8 years.
I have a good excuse though as I'm now a new dad to a 5 day old little boy called Oliver (Ollie).
Might bring him to the Evesham show at the end of the month if the weathers good so all the MBC can meet its new member
Congratulations mate
That's a better excuse than mine

Nearly 50 buggies today and no two alike...

But hopefully someone with a decent camera will post some highlights.
The Allan and Vanessa cruise to the chippy was perfect in the evening light and we all got in the car park in various clusters:

Service was efficient and noise levels of buggists was high until they got their food. Jools was keen to have a few of slices of bread to supplement his fish & chips:

Wow !
What can I say - Just got home from an awesome weekend that saw 54 Buggies on the stand at its peak, Lots came and went, so I couldn`t say how many different ones we had in total. Thank you to everyone that made the effort.
So great to see everyone - Big Thanks to Vanessa for organizing teh chippie run, Mahoosive thanks to Jazzy and Snowy for feeding the entire site with their awesome Bar-B-Que - and huge respect to Aaron and Roisin for driving down from Scotland just for a day trip !!
And if the weekend couldn`t get any better, I have just heard news that Chimp and Kat are proud parents of the latest member of the Buggy family !!

It was good to meet Erwin and choosing between a ride to the fish & chip restaurant and the Augustijn I think maybe I got the better half of the deal.
Great to catch up with everyone and meet a couple of folks for the first time. Big thanks to Jazzy & Snowy for the BBQ, top weekend in fantastic weather.
Event of the year for me. Made brilliant by the amazing BBQ put on by Jazzy & Snowy with Gordon's huge party tent. Loved Jazzy's Glawning on Friday night too - a log fire in a tent! :D
One brilliant revelation was Lee's blues harp playing. What a pro @lee74 ! Wish we could have heard more.
Great weekend thanks to Vanessa for sorting lift from Hugh and Lee for us both I'm so glad I stuck with the build as the people in this club is what's kept me going.
