Maybe 25 if V&A take both. Or 26 if the Snoopys take both of theirs. A bit of good weather and a fair few more will visit for the day I'm sure.

I have one of those small single burner gas stoves that pack up in a plastic case, a collapsible silicone kettle, a small frying pan, a mug and a couple of enamel plates. It all packs up small and flat, and allows a basic breakfast fry up at least. I always carry a couple of those pasta mug shot things for an emergency too. Burger bars at Stoneleigh are quite pricey, but there is a decent Supermarket just down the road, and we usually head over there for a quick evening cruise to collect beer, burgers and bacon anyway.

Its not actually as difficult as you think  ;)

If there is a good crowd, then there is often something communal going in the way of food too, where everyone pitches in together.

Mug, plate, bottle opener - can`t go far wrong   ;-)up

Ahh thats alright then! Just starting to get the things together for what we really need like the tent, some inflatable chairs & mattress, and the sleeping bag. Then im starting to run outta room for the back of the buggy  ;D ;D

If your buggy looks anything like this then you've packed too much..............

If I come it'll just be for the day and I will be coming from Hanbury. Would anyone be going from that way "south" of Brum to convoy over with? Is anyone planning a short lil convoy out on any of the days?

Whats the score when it comes to the food? Does stoneleigh have decent food around after closing time for joe public for those camping? I remember the burger vans etc during the day, but what about night?

If so, whats the recommended small camping cooking equipment? I have a small gas stove but no space saving pots & pans....

What does everyone do who doesn't have a motorhome/decent cooker?

We did an evening cruise out last year on the Saturday night to a fish and chip restaurant called the finest catch and no doubt be doing it again this year so you're welcome to come along, nearer the time we'll put a list up to see who wants to come. I think last year 25 of us went  ;-)up
