I'm going to double check with the campsite tomorrow that rules regarding BBQ's hasn't changed, if the haven't Jazzy is attending for Sat night and he is bringing a large bbq, apart from that everyone is doing their own thing.

Yes we have a "Field Quiz" organised and mark sheets for 10 teams. No fancy bells and whistles but it will be fun. Sian is quizmaster again. Happy to do it either Friday or Saturday, flexible either way.
Secretly I have know idea what I'm doing!

Did not get a chance to say goodbyes as I left when the parade finished not the intended Monday morning. Thank to all involved and attending it was a great weekend with seemingly little in the way of buggies having problems
Prizes went to worthy winners.
Hotel owners enjoyed parade in the buggy and want a 2027 repeat.

Very few photos as a driver but others will no doubt Pauls ET in his bike basket caused a few laughs outside the pub, an inibriated gent walked up held out his arms and said you do not have to phone home if you don't want too.

Love the snap of the buggy parked in the 'Range Warden - no parking' space.

Mark & Sue so deserved their Paddys Award - thank you both for supervising the relaxed welcoming gathering. Also to Matt & Sian for the quizz and buggy awards along with Sian's fluent summary of the ocassion including the call out to encourage and support the younger buggyists in the scene.

Rivo's Hub bar/cafe just outside Wareham was a welcoming venue with a large car park and beer garden.

I didn't take that many photos and certainly missed a few buggys but for what it's worth here is the always glorious sight of Corfe Castle (now an infested ant hill), Woodhenge becoming a H&S risk, ET being electrically sped about and some un motorised karters.













Then a few general ones:
