Title: Dubs in the middle 26th and Ragley hall 27th May 2018
Post by: snoopy on December 22, 2017, 07:56:57 PM
Dubs in the middle vw show followed by Ragley classic car meet at a stately home 20 miles south of Birmingham.

Entry has just been opened, I am happy to book a club stand again, have not checked the price but it was £5 a day last year that covers 2 occupants 2 kids and entry to the house saving about £17 a day on normal day entry cost.

List  required.

Snoopy is this the Sunday 27th followed by Evesham the next day like 2 years ago or the other way around like earlier this year ? I'm up for either day at Ragley but hope you and Mrs Snoopy bring your tent just in case Ragley rain strikes again !

Dubs in the middle is 25th to the 28th a four day event,  we could do that saturday and ragley sunday and monday or whatever combination suits people, however sunday will be the biggest day at Ragley, Saturday and sunday are both busy days at dubs.

If folks want camping could be arranged at either or we have a sleep over here.

Everybody in the 14  for Ragley in the above list I have paid your £4 entry fee so l will collect it when I see you.

6 weeks before the event I will need reg numbers and addresses as I have lost last years list on the computer upgrade and I will need to send a list of 13 buggies in.

Any more that want to attend will need to book in themselves at gemini events £4 + £1.50 booking use the club booking form make and enter as beach buggy.info then they will add you to the stand and expand our space.

Whats the easiest option for crashing overnight - pitch a tent in the garden, Spare Room? sleeping bags for the floor somewhere, or bring my Van?

Just thinking that Van & Buggy (2 parking spaces) is going to take up a lot of space on the drive   :-\

Allan & Vanessa have bagged the caravan, DC and Gail the middle bedroom with his bad hip,  Then we have John and you two so somebody can use the small bedroom floor ( no bed) and the other can grab the lounge floor think we have and air bed but we also have the thin self inflating camping mats.  so up to you.

Do you reckon there will be space for the van & Buggy on the drive?  If so I`ll bring that up, if not, I`ll grab the lounge floor please?

Chad I know it's easy for me to say but both times I've been to Ragley no one has seemed interested in reading the details on the pass - as long as you have it displayed. More interested in charging per extra passengers after the two in the front seat. So Amy jumped out of Ian and Pams and entered as free passenger in one of the solo driven Swb buggies.

In fact last year I took a different buggy to the reg on the pass and had crossed out the stated one, writing in the change. I was already for a chat but never got challenged.

Pams' had her appointment come through for her scan. Unfortunately it's mid day on Sunday so that puts us out of attending the Ragley Hall show unless the scan gets cancelled.
So our ticket should be up for grabs. Will know nearer the day I guess.  :(

Sunday for Ragley, the overnight sleepers and folks coming to our place. Vicky is thinking breakfast at wetherspoons the Old Swanne in town as they open at 8 that gives us about an hour for eating then off to Ragley sometime after 9.

I'll be along (in an unstoppable buggy) to your fine kennel at 8.45 in good time to collect my pass and tag along to Ragley when the mob are fed, watered and tuned in.

Hugh we will be at the swanne inn on the right going through town just aftr 8 hopefully and there will be a pack of buggies parked up the high street. Then you can invest £1.25 in a refillable coffee cup.

Ah OK.

Thought parking would be restricted in town so you'd travel in the least number of buggies.

I'll get some fuel, check your house and then come looking 'up the swanne' for the usual suspects.

Not sure how Dubs in the Middle went as I only rolled into Evesham at 8.45pm on Sunday to find two rows of neatly parked buggys near the breakfast eating owners from the day before.
Despite dramatic thunder and lightning over night the weather turned out to be essentially fine although muggy as the day went on. The grim forecast of torrential thunderstorms clearly deterred many and Ragley Hall classic cars felt only half full but 13 buggys made it and there was still plenty of interest amoung the other cars.

a few wimpish competitors soon fell by the wayside leaving David up against two American 5.7l engines and he justly secured his first prize with dare I say a rougher sounding engine than any other !

I can only re-iterate what others have said and that is a big thank you to Snoopy and Vicky for organising today's get together.
By pre-booking us all in meant it cost just a simple £5 for all of us in the buggy.
Luckily we missed all the weather down here in sunny and dry Worcester and even managed a pub dinner down by the river.
Really enjoyed getting together and have a relaxed chat with fellow buggy friends. Something I don't seem to do often enough these days.

Great to meet up with everyone over the 2 days and the sun shone through despite a grim start. Met and chatted with some very enthusiastic and potential Buggy victims too over both days. Managed to get all the way home without the roof on too - blue skies all the way.

Huge thanks to Vicky and Snoopy for putting us up, or should that be putting up with us.  ;-)(-;
