I'm going
All being well Sue and I will be there ;-)up ;-)up
We'll be there! Fantastic cruise through the town.
As a veteran of all 7 previous meets I feel I have no option but to attend ;-)up
Not sure if we can make it yet but anyone thinking about this....
Don't think about it...Just do it....It is a fantastic weekend :)
I thought there was a law making it compulsory for all Buggies to attend this meet
One of the best on the Calendar ;-)up
Not missing this one for anything :D
(bring your ear plugs) :P

Back to working Monday to Friday now so every weekend off!!
Will be there with the family.
Testa
Ps my 2 boys are crap campers 4 and 7 so if you want some sleep ear plugs are a must!! ;D
I'm half thinking about this, although I live in Nottingham my brother in law lives in Poxwell (just down the road from Swanage) so the carnival coupled with a visit to relations could be a possibility.

OK apologies to the regulars who would have already seen these, but if you are newish to the buggy scene, here's a couple of videos give you just a little taster of the weekend....

I've received this from the Carnival committee rep:
Hi Terry,
I hope this finds you fit and well ?
I'm writing to confirm that hopefully your group will be up for coming to Swanage Carnival again this year ? We always appreciate your support and the crowds really enjoy seeing the group , and are always a great visual treat for the many spectators that always turn out to watch you participate in what is a great event for the town
If you can let me know if you want to come that would be great ,
Kind Regards
Darren
I've been a bit cheeky and said yes on your behalf!
So is anyone up for it?
More details to follow on camping details etc but it will be the usual Fri lunch to Mon lunch for anyone that can bunk off work for the extra days but even if you can only make it for a day you are welcome.
For the cruise on Sat I'm thinking of a bit of a change, I'd still like us to do the chain ferry over to Poole but then I'm thinking of a split visit to 2 local attractions which are the Tank Museum and Monkey world.
You would not have time to do both but they are very close to each other so we could drop off those that want to see our simian brethren in Monkey World (don't forget some form of ID to get back out) then round the corner for those into heavy metal at the Tank Museum.
Here's the links:
http://www.monkeyworld.org/
http://www.tankmuseum.org/home
Any comments either pro or con are welcome so I can gauge what you would like to do.
The Theme for this year is Superheroes so what do you think on bringing the Knights out of retirement?
Flags
I'm coming ;-)up
Jude and I will be coming, had great time last year ;-)up
Same as ;-)up
We're up for it, we will probably drive half way the night before lol ;-)up
as normal for us

But we wont be doing it in a oner :D :D
Looking forward to this occasion ;D
Looks like we could have a fair amount of Swanage virgins this year, we may need a bigger boat!
It would be great if we could top 50 Buggies 1 year. I think next year may be the 10th anniversary so that may be something to aim for, Chad will know.
QuoteIt would be great if we could top 50 Buggies 1 year

Of course I'm coming but gonna try and be there for a Saturday for once.
Or even cruise in through the midnight hours of Friday to Saturday morning from work.
Promise I'll be quiet ;-)up

We will be there, but NOT with the East Wing (on the hill) - instead T5 and West Wing awning instead..... ;D ;D
Plus a buggy
Just finished updating the Swanage pages ready for this year and am looking forward to seeing everyone again :)

As some of you may know I've been quiet for abit busy on other things then got wiped out by an elderly driver in my other pride an joy which was destroyed and me put in hospital.
So was going to tear my buggy down and make her an auto to help my left leg,but while I still can im getting her out, new engine purchased bit of detailing and parts put her in new beam and I'll be back out and seeing as I've never managed to do swanage I'm making an effort this year and I'm keeping buggy so Georgina can drive next year then decide what I do with it.
Watch out its going to be much faster than before and maybe flames again on over run lol
I won't say I will be there because when I do, I don't make it.
Is Swanage always the same time each year? Just wondering is NEWS and Swanage will ever be a week a part? ???
Hi Hazel, pretty sure its fixed that way, yes... 2 weeks apart between the two? A weekend to recover! ;-)up
Just a bit awkward for those coming over from Belgium. Patrick and Toon were planning on doing both until they realised there was a weekend in between.
Midland folks, what time are you thinking of travelling down??
Surprise surprise, I've been asked to work on the Friday now :(
Hazel we leave between half 7 and 8 o'clock, with a couple of stops on the way down ;-)up
I may have to come down later then, maybe with Dave Dream :-\
I'm planning to come only on the Sunday (26th July) just for the parade. What time will you all be leaving the campsite to get inline for the parade?
You need to get there (football club) by about 1230 Mel otherwise traffic is a mare.
As there is just over a month to go can we have a sticky on this Dave then we can sort out a new list?
Any idea of good time to depart on the Sunday evening when the traffic has died down (going home via chainlink ferry)?
Best time to leave is as soon as we have done the run in the buggies, before the carnival has finished.
Mel we left the first time we went after the carnival and sat in the rain for two hours to get on the ferry i would recommend leaving as the buggy run finishes

Oohh! Chris . . You will be in trouble with Flags saying that . . . . (http://www.dndservices.co.uk/smiley/no%20no.gif)
It never rains on Carnival day (http://www.dndservices.co.uk/smiley/rules.gif)
;D ;D ;D
Last year arrived & took part in the carnival which was brilliant.
This year hope to make it down for Saturday morning to join the cruise & camp.
Do we check in with the football club first - whats the normal protocol?
Is the cruise starting at 11am?
Excellent,
Flags is the one to confirm but generally yes, head to the club, get your tent set up etc if you want we then congregate in the car park by the club for setting off. I think the time is usually 11am or there abouts. ;-)up
Club first if you want to pitch before the cruise (we leave about 11) but we have met up with folk's whist out before.
Don't forget it's Superhero's this year.
I've booked Dave the barman to open the bar for us on Saturday evening and he promises no Drum and Base party this year!
The club would like to know if we want breakfast on Sunday before the procession but to make it viable we need approximately 40.
So the new list is for

Hunter (and anyone else on route) joining us?

Sounds good to me.
Details......
Arrive at Swanage Football club any time after 1230 on Fri, the cost is £6 per adult per night for Fri and Sat, kids are £2.50 with Sun free anyone that wants to stay over.
The bar will be open on Sat night and as usual we will have the use of the BBQ's if wanted.
The Theme is Superhero's but fancy dress is NOT compulsory, the parade is at 3pm on Sun we form up just before 2 so please try to stay for this if you can. Anyone that needs to can depart before the crowds straight after.
The cruise on Sat is in your hands, I've had little feedback on if you would like to do the Tank Museum and Monkey world so we could just do the chain ferry, beach run for fish and chips (Weymouth) then back through the Purbecks route?
If you are bringing a Caravan or Motorhome please drop me a line, trailer tents & camper vans not included.
Weather will be Swanagetastic so see you all there.
Cheers flags
To be honest, personally I can take or leave either monkey or tank world, so speaking for myself am happy to just do the Weymouth beach or even head up to last years locations for a picnic.
What's everyone else thinking?
Coast route to Weymouth sounds good, last years route was brilliant though!
Flags, have sent you a PM.
As much as I like Tank World, Lisa would kill me if I went there without her, so I vote for the extra few miles down to Weymouth and a bag of chips.
We already have Monkey World covered back at the football ground with the camping and apes ;D
we will be there with 11 or 12 people from belgium.
will be coming with the camper and trailer
and 1 t25 with trailer.
toon will come as well ;-)
o flags, can you arrange tickets for us for the tank museum please?
we are the week before on a camping very chort to the museum.
http://manorfarmcp.co.uk/index.php/facilities
this is our camping ;-)
monday evening or thuesday morning we arrive there
Sent you a message Patrick.

looks like i will be driveing up alone from cornwall,anyone else going uphill ? i am not very organized on this one its kinda crept up on me,will i get a pitch if i dont book ? Hell i havent even booked a pitch for my own buggy weekend yet :-X . Ive been very busy with band and metalflakeing guitars etc and have done sod all else,whats this talk about Torquay whwn are we going there ? thanx 8)
Trevor,
Camping at Swanage is compact and very basic, and we tend to put all the tents as close as we can together "refugee stylee" but don`t worry, Flags will make sure that any tents have space, and cars will be herded into the corner to make space. Because I`m taking my trailer tent, I`m hoping to be there for early afternoon on the friday - and its just under a 3 hour trip from here. If you can make the friday, and can be around Devon area mid morning, then more than happy to cruise up with you - from here to Swanage is a really nice drive.
For those not camped before this should give you an idea....
(we have been known to squeeze more in if necessary too!)
(http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m625/print465/DSC_0003_zpsbyrqperc.jpg)
Count me and Mrs boatboy in. Be there early sat. Love a breakfast on the sun if possible too?
Spoke to the Football club today, they are happy with around 25 for breakfast which I think we should do. Here's some details:
The countdown begins.
Just a quick up date and some details for those that are incoming.
The boring bits first:
Please park all daily drivers in the football club car park once you have unloaded as space is always tight (as Peters daily is a buggy he is the only exception).
Everything we dump in the car park must be moved to the campsite before we leave for the cruise, there is no game on Sat this year but the Army are using the club house as a changing area and coach park.
Tents are the top of the food chain and as such get priority on the flat grassed areas, campervans can always park on the car park but tents can't.
Please keep your awnings and gazebos to a minimum and don't be offended if you are asked to move something to squeeze somebody in, we have a couple of buggies not arriving until Sat.
All buggies are to be parked on the sloped area as it's no use for camping and that way they will not get blocked in.
Please fill up with fuel either on the way in or early on Saturday as stopping on the first part of the cruise for fuel is very difficult.
The bar is open on Saturday night and for breakfast on Sunday but please don't all go to breakfast in 1 lump as the kitchen is quite small and the volunteers who cook and serve it will have hangovers.
That's all the crap out of the way so.......
Here's a bit of other stuff:
It never rains at Swanage but if it does for Sat we have a couple of options, either head into in Poole for shopping and to see the town or head out to the Tank museum or monkey world?
Someone asked what the 'Facilities' are like? I spent 29 years living off tanks so I've seen worse but they may be a shock if you're a bit posh.
I will post the cruise route next week so please take the time to have a look, it is IMPOSIBLE to keep 20 plus buggies together in Poole and would be dangerous to try so there will be collection points along the way.
Superhero kit for the procession is not compulsory; it's more about the fun than the fancy dress but if you have it all the better. The main crux of the weekend is the procession so please, please try to stay long enough to do it, I realise that some have a little further to travel than me and if you need to you can head straight out of town after we have finished.
See you all at the weekend, bring a hat, beer and sun cream.

Hi Guy,
RATITUDE and family have rebooked again this year but have secured comfy beds at a B&B down by the seafront (early signs of getting old) which apparently has some parking but as in previous years buggy will be coming down on a trailer. So we will make every effort to arrive as early as possible so it can go in the laol grass area.
Also Bob who is a good friend is also coming this year and staying at the B&B. Some of you who were at the Kitcar event at Stoneleigh met him. He was the one with bright red GP superbuggy that ended up with a slightly reworked front end after the Saturday night cruise.
So look forward to seeing you all on the 24th
Mark :)

You just had to remind me , didn'y you ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
His therapist said he is now fully cured and the twitch will go in time but took a little long to fix the buggy but at least is better than it than it ever was :)

Hi all,
Looks increasingly like I will make it down, just not sure whether it will be Friday night or Saturday in the middle of the cruise.
Can use Andy's tip on I phone app. ;-)up ;-)up ;-)up8

Miller and I probably won't get down till sometime late Friday night. Fran, if you fancied meeting up somewhere around Oxford we could convoy the rest of the way??

Hi Hazel, could be a plan. Will depend how work goes. What sort of time do you reckon you might be near Oxford?
Cheers
Fran
If anyone else from the South West fancies a convoy down on Friday Morning, Weazel and myself will be meeting at Exeter services (J30 M5) at around 10:30am and then taking a leisurely cruise along the coast to get to Swanage for lunchtime

Maybe about 6pm, I'm not really sure. What time would be good for you?
We shall be having an early start with Sally and George as its nice going
down the A272 at that time of day, may meet some of you along the way...
Peter
Hey Fromey do you have a roof or are you going comando. Might also go down sat morn,but what if it rains ? Would you like to surf my wake ?
Patrick and Toon are both here already, not long now.
The cruise for Sat is normal route out to the chain ferry from the football club
Pitwines car park in Poole for an hour stop to grab a packed lunch and BBQ stuff, for those meeting on route: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Supermarket+Car+Park/@50.7164599,-1.9796653,15z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0xf6df83b35fb91e29
Out of Poole on the A350/A35 to the Bakers Arms roundabout: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/The+Bakers+Arms/@50.7334866,-2.0655282,15z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x21da12558b3fcfc9
Left on the A351 to Wareham
Right onto the A352 towards Wool
Left after 1.5KM onto the B3070 to Lulworth
Lulworth Cove for A Picnic and swim for a couple of hours (pay car park £3 for 2 hours)
Route back will be via the viewing point where the wedding party were then over the Purbecks to Corfe Castle, turn right and back into Swanage.
The route involves busy town, fast A roads , a blast on a dual carriage way and tight country roads. Please make sure you have filled up before we leave but there is a fuel stop on route if needed.
As normal I have to meet with the committee to take over the site at lunch on Fri so please do not enter the site until we get the say so.
See you all there
Perfect! Great roads, scenery and cracking places to stop ;-)up
Getting excited now! Forecast for Sat and Sun looking good. Friday? Well it's early yet! :D
Is that little shop that sells bottles of Mead still down at Lulworth Cove ?
may have to stock up, as the stuff they used to sell was stunning :D
Looking forward to this as its the first time we have been able to get away
for quite some time and it will be nice to see you all again :)
Peter
Madmatt,
I always go commando! ;-)up
Planning on leaving earlydoors Saturday (7.30ish) to get down to Swanage for ~9.30.
If that suits you, we can meet up on Warminster bypass.
If not see you down there.
Cheers
Fromeflyer (Steve)
Starting to have my doubts about coming down due to work and other commitments. So, would anyone going down perhaps have room for a guitar on the way back??
as discussed with some off here, weather looking pants for Friday, all day... >:( >:( >:(..... We are still wanting to come down Friday, but looking at hiring a trailer to bring buggy down and back.
Flags, can we park the trailer in the club car park for the duration, I have a hitch lock thingy. If there is additional financial contribution for this cheeky request, I am happy to pay for the additional parking.
Cheers
I'm happy to pay keep the rain away on Friday as well? :'(
;D ;D
Jazzy,
Don`t really want to jump in before Flags gives an official answer, but I know that they generally like to keep the tarmac area clear. However, as you know, there are a few sloping areas under the trees where it is not possible to erect tents, and historically, these have been used by the guys that do bring trailers down. You already know Flags is going to say yes to this, as he is always very accomodating when it comes to this sort of thing, and a few extra coffers in the kitty are what the whole weekend is about, and I doubt would ever be refused.
;-)up

Doesn`t Flags always bang on about the fact that it never rains on Carnival day ???
Think he may have to eat his words this year ;D
Still really looking forward to it though (http://www.dndservices.co.uk/smiley/umbrella.gif)

I remember last year there was a trailer placed just the other side of the tree opposite the entrance to the then West Wing of Early towers ::) ::)
But I did not want to assume it was okay to repeat that manoever with out getting the nod..... lol
Not found a trailer yet..... :'( :'( :'(

Yep - we will always find room to squeeze you in somewhere ;-)up
Stop Press
Due to the weather forecast on Friday (it will be fine, trust me.) I have secured access to the site for tonight for anyone that can travel today rather than on Friday.
I don't have time to go into the finer points now but if you get here just put up your tent and enjoy.
More to follow.
And yes to anything else like can I come or trailers.

Excellent!!!! :D
Count me in on that.... But some sad news too.... I'm afraid Andre's merc will be making another appearance at Swanage.... Sorry :'( :'(
But on the good news, I'm in the buggy and my erm...... Friend will be borrowing Andre's hairdresser car!!!!! Long long weekend now!

Best laid plans & all that... :'(, I'm not going to be available to stop over on Saturday night & take part in the parade.
But still coming down hopefully on Saturday morning to take part in the parade.
Sally and I will be leaving in the morning mainly because we both have roof's and Georgie has decided
she will be setting off on Saturday morning as she doesn't.
Hopefully the wet weather won't set in too much, I will be warm and dry hopefully and will bring the heated
jackets along too just in case someone would like to see what they are all about...
Drive safely in it all ;-)up
Peter
Seems my oil pressure and I are double booked this weekend, and as he is firmly on vacation, I will now be there in my daily :'(
If anyone has a spare seat for the cruise and the parade, it would be very much appreciated, as following in a Land Rover isn`t the same ???
I do Dave. Not that comfy, but very welcome to the space

Hi Hazel,
I'm having exactly the same problems about work so if you do end up going down today then I douby I'll see you.
Flags and all - hoping I may still be able to get down and hook up for the cruise later on and parade. Keep everything crossed!

Flyer Steve,am guna try to leave 7.30 but it is Saturday. May see you. I'll be stopping at deveralls for fuel and a brolly if tonight is anything to go by.
I didn't manage to get that many photos, mainly due to the weather, the sun came out
about 20 minutes before the Carnival was due to kick off and that made everyone's day ;-)up
Here are a few... :)

Nice photos it was fun despite the rain I'm hopeing for some sunshine at the monkeytree weekend in cornwall and hope some of you are heading down :)
Is there any footage from the guy on the green 2 wheeled thing (motorcycle). He seemed to be everywhere stalking the buggys.
