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?

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! ;D
Ooh A list :D

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 ;-)up
149 days till N.E.W.S.2016
Thanks for the payment Lawson. ;-)up
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?
Hazel,
Cash at an MBC meet or when we meet next?
Sure thing ;-)up
Just sent £10 via Paypal to you....
You just know now I've paid..... the buggy will break down a day or two before! :-X ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Whoops! Just realised I haven`t paid for this either :-X
Funds sent - and determined to get Lisa out and about this year ;-)up
Evening Hazel,
Am I to late to get a pitch for a tent with hook up, please.
I can send you the money via PayPal if you can fit us in.
Cheers 8)

So many have already called dibs on the hook ups, so I doubt it.
No worries then, ill settle for just a pitch. Do we book the pitches via you or ring direct.
Via myself, I've booked the whole site so it would be good to recuperate the costs. ;-)(-;
Hazel, can you put me down for a tent pitch, are you at the March MBC meet ? if you are I can give you cash then
Sorry it's me again,
I've just sent you £10 via PayPal.
Cheers.
Doug.
I've also just sent you the £10 via paypal,
Can I provisionally book space for a tent, just got toget permission.
It says pet friendly, does that include the pub as I may end up bringing my Ally as my navigator?

Yes of course, the whole site including inside the pub is pet friendly as long as they don't cause trouble with other pets that are around...

Permission granted so payment made
Space for my tent and book me in for breakfasts and evening meals in the pub if you are doing lists
Not bringing the dog
Cheers, always wanted to do this one but normally away
Dave
You will enjoy it Dave, excellent food and real ale just a few paces from the tent, the double stout goes down easily, oh and some hilly things to drive around with lovely scenery.
hills, what are they?

Cheers for the payment. The pub are happy to do breakfast, just let them know the night before you want it. Also, I'll see if we can have another Saturday curry night (cheaper option to the main menu) for anyone who wants that ;-)up

Good Call ;-)up
That was a really nice Curry they did last time ;-)up ;-)up
Apart from those who have let me know already, does anyone else actually want a commemorative sticker for this year? As with every NEWS, the proceeds will go to the charity 'Alzheimer's Society'.
This year is set to be yellow (as you may have seen in the banner) and I'm now thinking of going with the new buggy design I used for the GB patches (with a few extra finishing touches, like the windscreen colour and shading) - along with the usual NEWS 2016 across the front.
Ultimately, it's up to you. It's your event! So tell me what you want!

OOh! Thats a tough one Hazel.
Whilst I like the continuity of the old style, and they all look good stuck together with different years and colours, I also really like your new design too
Sorry, I`m going to have to sit on the fence for this one :-\
Im happy to go for a sticker especially if helping out Altzeimers again.
Do like the new design too.
Hoping to make it this year for camping but just cant commit at this time due to Ruth's ongoing monitoring etc and not knowing dates that far ahead.
Chad
Best we have one please as it resembles the jas
One for me please, it's yellow ;-)up
im coming and one for me please how ya wwant paying hazel
Myself and Stacie although only for the Saturday as I have a football game on the Sunday.
What time is the BBQ?
If you would like to pay for your pitch in advance, my PayPal is hazelbuller@hotmail.co.uk
Remember, it's only £10 for a tent pitch for the whole weekend!
Or if you want to wait till the weekend, I'll see you then...
I might not be around on the Sunday as I'm considering doing the Birmingham Bikeathon ???
Probably won't be camping as I can't do tents.
We are available both Saturday and Sunday.
How much is B and B in pub?
There's only 2 rooms available at the pub and I have a feeling they are already taken.
http://www.gatehangshigh.co.uk/rooms/
I'll have a News Sticker, please Hazel ;-)up
Is anyone interested in another Hook Norton Brewery Tour or the Open Tap Take Over on Thursday night? (see original post for details)
The tour was good - happy to do it again, but unsure if Liz can get the extra time off, as she has used quite a few days of late !!
Would love to but have to drop dog off at the kennels first thing Friday so will be getting there midday Fri.
Would like to go again but won't be there till Friday
I will bear it in mind.

Only a month to go folks! I need to get a cruise sorted and it's helpful to know how many will be on the convoy/how many stickers to have made up....
Also, will anyone be having a passenger seat going spare?
I will have a spare seat
Hi Hazel. I haven't committed as yet because Ruth is awaiting date of next operation which could very well be around that time.
As I know more I will let you know
Looking forward to being there this year - I hope I have just jinxed it!
So I should be camping on the friday evening, having a great Saturday, will hang around as much as possible in the evening But now I need to leave that evening as I have a full day and early start on the Sunday. ;-)up

Actually looking at the times for the show I'm doing with the bears on Sunday - I should be fine to camp over on Saturday and head off early in the morning on the sunday. ;-)up ;-)up ;-)up
Cool 8)
So, before I start hunting for a new photo stop, does anyone have any suggestions? ;D
There is space for all 8)

There is a caravan in our normal pitch >:( >:( :D
See you there friday may even be thursday.
Highly unlikely that my Buggy will be back on the road for this one now - Gutted :'(
However, I`m not missing NEWS and we will both be there for this brilliant weekend. :D
Looking for two spare passenger seats for the cruise though, just so Liz and I don`t have to follow in the daily
???
I've got one comfy passenger seat in the front and two uncomfortable o es in the back

Thanks Hudge, but I`ve seen what you do to your rear seat passengers ::)
I was following you when you tried to "eject" Jazzy :o
The stickers have been ordered.
A photo stop has been located.
Lunch time has been scheduled.
The convoy route has been mostly tested.
Now we just need the sun and you all to join us!
Looks like 2 electric hooks up have become free as well, who wanted one? ???

I`m good thanks - and now have a reeeeaaaaaaly long hook up lead if needed - could probably hook it up at home ;)
Can we take the electric hook up please?
We will take the hook up if one is going, can use my heater then if it's cold on the night!
If there is still one going, yes please Hazel.....
I think Dave C an Mrs Shaggy just got in there ahead of you. Perhaps you could some how strike up a deal with someone who has electric like DND has done with Snoopy?

I hope you're up for a day out of driving and pretty stops. I worry the cruises I do are too long. They're long because I'm following in the footsteps of the year Snoopy did a long one ??? I already have ideas for next year and will make it shorter.

I don't think they are dangerous, but it does explain why Snoopy has the closest pitch to the lavvies
Hoping to arrive to check out these long ones about midday on the Saturday, no surprise you will probably hear me coming ( no pun intended or required ) So looking forward to this and seeing you all again. ;)
Hudge, you might want to get there a lil earlier or meet us at our first stop as we usually try and head off about 11am.
Hudge we will take you a tent as we said, you bringing the rest or do you want an airbed, less packing and luggage = an earlier arrival unless you fancy a friday night trip up as the tent will be erected ready.
Cheers Snoopy just the tent please, will bring airbed myself, can't do the Friday night, dog sitter not available until Saturday, will leave here early on the Saturday morning.
Eeps! NEWS2016 is only a week away!! 8)
If you haven't seen already on Facebook, The Gate Hangs High are now running a "Classic car, bike, scooter, vehicle meet" on the second Sunday of the month starting in July (through to October, weather permitting) 10am till 1pm. So, yeah this'll coincide with our weekend but the classic cars will be coming to us for once ;-)up

that will be ok as we will be winding down hooking up and getting ready for sunday lunch in the pub, guessing pre booking may be an idea for lunch to ensure a seat though.

Hi Hazel,
Du to a cancellation we found out ruth's latest operation has been bought forward to Wednesday next week.
Thsi means I definately won't be camping unfortunately.
Depending on how she feels I may be able to get down on Saturday to see everyone.
Chad
Shame Chad! hope all goes well for her then and of course hopefully still see you this weekend.
Meanwhile Hazel, exciting stuff, looking forward to it! I'm polishing the merc ready for it!!!! Only teasing! as of this morning, the buggy is still functioning - had a busy busy day doing dream rides yesterday, some of which was on the Top Gear Race Track at Dunsfold (well part of it at least)
Hazel
I will be turning up Friday about midday, are there any plans for the Friday or will you all be there chillin and setting up
Cheers
Dave
You won`t be on your own Dave, as Liz and I plan to get there around the same time ;-)up
Lovely
You can try the seats out
I also plan to get there Friday lunchtime, this will be our 1st buggy weekend and 1st time we've ever been camping !! I've got a tent, bed, sleeping bag, chairs, torches, mugs, coffee, (nothing to boil water so will be scrounging hot water from other ppl), beer and wine. I know the pub has a restaurant but do people take food as well. Is there anything else I desperately need to take ???
Quote from: Merscury on July 04, 2016, 02:48:36 PM

Well . . . Where do we start ?
Good supply of Chocolate Hob Nobs for Me . . . A beer for El-Presidente . . .
But yes, in answer to your question, we usually take food too ;)
There is a village shop down by the brewery about 1.5 miles away but the pub is out in the sticks. Pub fo od is very good or has been for the previous meets there. We will be booking a table for sunday at 12.30 in the name of taylor if anyone else wants to join in, but we will not be paying for you ;-)up
Snoopy, can you add 2 places to your booking for Sunday lunch for me please
Quote from: Merscury on July 04, 2016, 04:44:33 PM

Done and dusted table for 4 booked 12.30 sunday ;-)up
There are no plans for Friday as people generally can't get there too early but if you're at the pub before noon you'll see the Hooky beer delivered by the shire horses. If you'd like to take a tour around the brewery they do one at 2pm.
https://www.hooky.co.uk/visit-us/visitor-centre-and-tours.ashx
I'm tempted to take a trip down to Chipping Norton, a 10 min drive from Hook Norton, to explore a lil and maybe get dinner there instead of at the pub.
If anyone is thinking of getting breakfast at the pub, it's good to give the guys a heads up. I'm not going to take a list here, just be sure to let them now the day before to ensure they have the supplies. As for dinner, they're usually ok with that but if you want to make sure you get in, book - same goes for the Sunday if there is going to be a bit of a classic car meet in the car park they might be a bit busy.
I can bring this BBQ along and supply the charcoal if anyone fancied a bit of a meat feast!

Tell them that they cant pick it up till Monday and it maybe still slightly warm! ;D ;D
Could do 8)
Me and Stacie are definite for cruise and most of Saturday
Does anyone have a table booked for Saturday pm in the pub/should we all stop off somewhere else for food Saturday after cruise?
I'd be interested in a sticker.
Cool! ;-)up Well I think we're going to try and set off about 11am, get petrol at the start of the cruise. Stop off for lunch (about half way round) then the photo stop shortly after and a stop on the way back as well.
I picked up the stickers this morning and I couldn't be happier with the way they've turned out. Remember all proceeds go to Alzheimer's Society ;-)up

I still also have a few other bits and pieces from previous years. Patches are £5 each and as you can see are very limited! The MBC stickers come in white or black £3 each or 2 for £5. Everything else £2.
(https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/s526x395/13620330_10154234819162429_1741922971988129063_n.jpg?oh=1c361b9bc7200b16bcc403c8328f41cb&oe=57F019FA)
Everyone is welcome, only £5 per night for a pitch! 8)
I think next year I will need to find a site with more electric so everyone who wants one - can pay and get the hook ups they want.
Well I don't want to tempt fate again as usual, but tested the drone last night, all working ok (its a little delicate!) so will bring that for some photos and may be if the locations are safe to do so may have some video too of buggies in motion? ;-)up
Looking forward to the weekend! :D :D

^^ what he said. And we'll get petrol a couple of miles into the cruise at GL56 9RE for anyone who is running late 8) I'm only letting the late comers know in case we have any stragglers like last year, I don't think the petrol station was too keen on us parking up for that length of time.
Either way, there's still Friday before the cruise for other fun and frolics! ;-)up ;-)up
Thanks aim to get to the pub for 10ish. See you there.

Now, what have I forgotten? :(
If it helps and let's just say that I do make (even at this stage I'm making no assumptions lol ) I will have "find my friends" switched on my iPhone. So if you have an iPhone you can stalk and track us live. Have used it a few times on meets and can be quite useful track us down if we get lost etc. Pm me if you want to add me.
Have sadly had something come up at last minute! :-[
These things always seem to happen.
Can't make it this time, there's always next year!
I've only worked one weekend in two years and now I'm doing this one and next weekend. :( so no NEWS for us this year.
Hope you all have a great time.
At least Dave will have a chance if there is a hill climb on the cruise ;D ;D

Had a cracking weekend, thanks to Hazel and all who organised this.
Just got home and found the rattle, nut on alternator pulley gone - it was torqued and re torqued a week or so later but that was t he noise
Dave
Just got home safe and sound
Brilliant weekend as always, great to meet some new faces and some old ones -
Cruise was superb - Hazel found some great scenery to take us through, and some really good stopping points - didn`t even know that there were such places as Lavender Farms, and judging by Millers Hayfever, I guessing he wished they were elsewhere. Saturday night quiz was pretty cool (bring torch next year) and some interesting cars started to turn up for the little car show as we were leaving.
Big thanks to Gary for allowing me to be a passenger, and mega thanks to Dave Doon for looking after Liz.
I only have one complaint, and I think many will share this one with me, in that it was all over too soon.
Thanks Hazel - that was a good one, and only 364 days until N.E.W.S. 2017 ;)
Yes, brilliant weekend, big thanks to Hazel for organising and to everyone else there for making our first buggy weekend such an enjoyable experience, really great and sure it won't be our last. (Oh and I'll bring a kettle next time)
Thank you Hazel for a great weekend its hard to organise these things but you done a great job, thank you Miller for the quiz Saturday it was great fun.I had a problem with the buggy but thanks to Vanessa and Allen we were able to go on the cruise. Once again we were on a trailer but taken to snoopys añd he has got us on the road again so a big thank you, and to Vicky for feeding us your both stars.I would like to thank the person who left a coil wraped in christmas paper on the buggy so now I have had two gifts from a mystery person, I WILL find out who you are , Dave as seen on TV on the back of a trailer 3 times now in the magazine and at the NEC
A cracking weekend and relitavily buggy trouble free, the cruise went without a hitch.
Well done to Hazel and Miller for the organisation and quiz. Saturday nights challenges of pass the clap could have been a worry as we only had alcahol and no antibiotics but it reduced people to laughter as did Lizzie's pass the elephant and rhinoceros challenge.
Will get some pic onto the pc and upload them soon.
Thanks to all for making the weekend great! A special thanks to Hazel for organising it. Here are a few photos ;-)up

Great photos as always Vanessa, that's Guys and Girls for making us both very welcome, Hazel and Richard for organizing, Keith and Vicky for tent hire and tea, so looking forward to the next one wherever that may be. ;-)up See you all soon.
Unfortunately we were only there for the Saturday, had a great day and met some new friends, Thanks to Hazel and Miller. The engine is run-in now so I haven't got to just potter around anymore!
Andy, I like this photo, we know we were just talking about exhaust fumes and buggy bits, but it looks like we're ready to step out and have a punch up :o ;D ;D

"Oi! I don't f'ing care if you can smell petrol from my engine, you shouldn't have been smoking in your buggy! Next time I catch you lighting up in it, I'm reporting you, AGAIN!"
;D ;D ;D
Echoing the others - Great weekend! Well done Hazel for organising a fantastic NEWS2016 Miller did a great job with the quiz on Friday night, (Just such a shame that Dave "not seen in the dark" Coleman and Dougie threw it away when I missed them for the last round! ;D )
Cruise could not have been better - great stops. And just the right length - more importantly well done of keeping us all together not a mean feet for a complete days driving!
Its the first time, I done NEWS at THE GATE, but again thought it was a great location - although there was no 4G for me - Come on Hazel, you know we can do without the net - sort it out! ;) ;D ;D ;D.
Sorry I had to escape on Saturday evening - but see you all there again next year! ;-)up ;-)up ;-)up ;-)up ;-)up
(Its going to take me that long to sort out all this footage!)

Thank you Hazel for organising a fantastic weekend, I have posted some photos onto Facebook as. E and photo bucket don't get on 😉
Already looking forward to next years ;-)up

Nice one Keith. ;-)up
Mean while have started to edit the footage here but it's going to take a while there's a lot to do, hopefully by the end of the week. But don't get too excited about it. :)
As everyone has already said, great weekend.
Good camping, great beer, cracking breakfasts in the pub and great company
Never done a pub quiz in the dark, well done quizmaster Miller and how Hazel managed to mark the answers written in pencil in the dark who knows - well done both.
Great cruise as well, sorry about the oil smoke. Never had lavender tea or lavender ice cream before - much nicer than it sounds
Even the weather was kind with a dry and fairly warm cruise, Shaggy's forehead is the proof we had some sun
Hope I can get there next year
Interesting drive home, only gone a few miles and someone pulling out of their drive watching Hudge driving away almost got me head on, still proved my brakes work.
Then on the M1 all three lanes busy and doing 64 in the inside lane (checked the GPS when it happened) and was undertaken by a Range Rover on the hard shoulder :o
Here's another teaser clip from me whilst I carry on with the edit of the main video of the cruise etc.

Look at the sky in that - how did we not get a soaking
true... though to be fair I've added a little vignette so looks darker than it was. i should have really turned it more blue shouldn't I?
No, going out with the sky like that is what separates the beach buggyists from the people that just possess a beach buggy ;-)(-;
Hello boys and girls! Sorry I've been quiet since getting back, I got hit with a stinking cold as soon as I got back on Sunday and to be honest I never know what to say to all of your messages of thanks - other than thank you!! I wouldn't do it without you. ;D
Cheers for posting your pictures, either here or up on Facebook, it's great to see more than just the buggy that's in my rear view mirror. Andy's video should be a good one too!
I'm glad you enjoyed the quiz as that was a last minute idea of Miller's to keep you all entertained. As for passing the clap (sorry about that) and introducing elephants and rhinoceros' to the 'room' (a what!?) hopefully that wasn't too silly for you grownups.
Everyone that purchased a sticker or two, thank you, together we collected £50 for the Alzheimer's Society. To those who disappeared early, I still have some left *nudge nudge, wink wink* Every little helps.
What else is there to say? Roll on NEWS2017

Errrrmmmm..... No pressure there then! ??? ;)
Getting close to the end of the edit now, but serious, don't get high hopes, I'm only messing around with this stuff. ;-)up
Ok, I've done it!

Now firstly don't get too excited with it. Its 13mins long so if you are going to watch it, get your cuppa ready first. To be honest the first bit with the drone in very low light goes on too long. And its quite hard trying to put all that footage into a video without a planned storyboard beforehand - I've only an amateur playing remember (and on a learning curve)
Many thanks to Shaggy for the additional footage used - will get your memory card in the post if you can pm me your address.
Try to watch it in HD (ideally 1080 60fps) if possible to see the quality of the recording and sorry for the cheesy music - again always a bit tricky getting something with the right permissions on youtube and really goes with it. (Any criticisms and advice going forward always welcomed).
Oh and finally, for those that were there, yes the clips aren't necessarily in chronological order, but hey thats how the edits goes sometimes ;)

Fantastic mate - just "Re-Lived" a great weekend
Thank You !!! ;-)up
Tip top!
Brilliant Andy,
Thats brilliant andy the bird song in your lurk around the campsite early morning is that real or did you add it
Cheers folks ;-)up
RE: Bird songs - well very close. Yes the original sound (recorded at 5.30am) was very very similar but because the wind buffeting noise was occasionally there too I had to swap it with some library sound effects I had. ;)
Really great production. Thanks for the chance to see what its all about ;-)up
Yes Andy a really lovely production and makes the buggys and their owners all seem an attractive bunch. The lone police car looks like a sheep dog out trying to round up the errant sheep !
Excellent production quality, a top job for a top weekend.
Great video ;-)up ;-)up ;-)up
Brilliant video Andy, ;-)up
Great video Andy thank you for your time and effort excellent result able to relive a great weekend with great company 8)
Hey Andy, I love your music change for the mundane task of filling up with fuel :D :D :D And your bird sounds were a lot better than the pidgins and crows we actually got early in the morning ;D ;D
Rob
Well the videos I took on my phone aren't a patch on what Andy captured but here are a few short shots anyway.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! Missed what look like a fab weekend again!! Bloody horse shows! Gonna get in contact with 'Findus'. Lasagne anyone??
No need for that, I'll find a campsite that welcomes (living) horses! It wasn't the same without you!
Although I do like a lasagne and I think by the sounds of things, Pam, DoonL001 and Fran could all be in competition with having the best ones, perhaps a cook off is needed...
. . . I really wish we'd filmed "pass the clap" so people knew how innocent it really is! ;D I think some people on Facebook are concerned about what goes on as these buggy camping weekends! ;D
