might be last minute but all family problems sorted brother doing well nothing to worry about now i hope so finaly im going for it lol passport ready and atleast its downhill to swanage.

thats all good news then Matt, but it's up hill on the way home!

Just to update I should be there in project CAMO Nicki and her son Adam in the T4 and a trailer tent.
Hope that's ok so 3 adults 1 buggy 1 t4 and a trailer tent

Dave Dream, 1 tent (one man), Buggy arriving Saturday morning.

Let me know if I have to pay anything Andrew please and the approach for the landing 

An update from Flags  (still can`t get the miserable old git to sign up on here though  )


Just a quick update, until I can confirm otherwise no motor homes or caravans will be allowed at the football ground, trailer tents and T2 size camper vans are ok but as always the tents take first dibs on the flat stuff.

Please no entry to the camping field before 1200 to give the grounds man (Dave) a chance to get the grass cut.

After the parade lap all the buggies will be returning to the campsite and not parking up at the bandstand or in town due to projected numbers of visitors with the weather and the Red Arrows this year.

Hi Dave, Have added your name to Flags list on other forum. Usually we pay him when we are down there, so nothing to worry about until then.

Are there any other queries for folks that haven't been before that you want to know (i.e. pass onto Flags for you)

(PS added Buggy Steve and Pirate to the names on BBClub web forum too for him)

A quick message for any newbies reading on here:

This event is open to everybody, and is one of the major Buggy social events of the year, where we all get to meet up, often for the first time, cruise around on the saturday, chill out round the Bar-B-Que and then the parade through Swanage Carnival on the sunday

EVERYBODY IS WELCOME !!!  THE MORE THE MERRIER !!

returning to camp site after the cruise so no buggy display well at least those of us having to go home can load the buggies and get out before the mad exodus when the carnival ends may even try the ferry route home as it will be quieter then.

Bit of a shame as we wont be able to see the carnival i spose,unless we get back to camp pdq.

i also want to see the carnival, hope they will all wait untill we return from the campsite

Often for the first time? It's not the first show of the "season" and it took me years to get there

Its the first place that I met any of you 

Update from Flags:



I've had a couple of questions so here goes:

Q1 Will we get to see the procession?    

Yes, the emergency services go round after us then the Christchurch cruisers so we should have plenty of time to get back to Sandpit field to catch the majority of the event and also anyone that needs to leave early will be able to do so.  We can also have a beer whilst watching the Red arrows if you are staying the night without having to drive.

Q2 Is there a theme?

As the carnival is Hollywood just go with the flow, Superheroes, Villains, Cartoons or anything Hollywood as long as it's loud and stupid.

Q3 Are we doing the breakfast on the Sunday again?

That depends on you lot, last year I took numbers for breakfast and the club bought in the food and arranged enough volunteers to serve us.  A fair few then didn't attend due to a change of heart or just a heavy night. 

The football club ended out of pocket and said it wasn't worth doing again. 

I have negotiated with the bar manager a compromise, they will do it if we can supply accurate numbers (must be at least 40) and all ordered breakfasts must be paid for.

Q4 Are we doing the Poole VW show on Saturday

If you want to, I have no plans to go but you can head there if you want straight after the chain ferry.  I think most of us will be down the beach however if it's raining it may be an option.

Q5 BBQ on Saturday night?

You bet!  We can stop off on the way back from Ringstead bay to grab supplies and the bar will be open.


See you all there.

Flags.

Latest news is I had a call today from oilburner with the  red volksrod who missed last years event but the good news is he will be there with there along with his son or son in law ( my memory is crap)who now has a buggy, so 2 tents and 2 more buggies.
looks like being a buggy meey of epic proportions best they cancel the footy match so we can have the pitch.

Hopefully getting down on Saturday morning due to the bus failing its MOT.

If bus passes on Friday poss one bus one buggy, 2 adults.2 monsters
