Hi Flags and all,

The countdown is now on... so looking forward to this years one.. Have just noticed they have tweaked the procession a little this year, turning up away from the beach before the usual pedestrian zone and passing by the procession later on.

"This year's theme is Celebrate BritainSwanage Carnival Procession
All Change for 2014!
The amazing Carnival Procession will wind its way along the sea front to the Clock Tower then swing right into Victoria Avenue to avoid the ongoing work in Shore Road.
A map showing the new route is in the programme!"

For the Newbies that have recently joined us, its very important to point out that this event is open to everybody, so please don`t wait to be asked, you are more than welcome to come down and camp with us, and join in with the fun. If you have read my introduction as to how I got started on here, then this is the event that did it and without doubt, one of the best events on the Buggy calendar



PS - have we a link to purchase the Knights costumes, for those planning to dress up ?

I think Chad sorted out some deal for all the IBW lot but I bought this one separately:

So whats the thoughts? The theme is Celebrate Britain, I know there's talk of doing the Knights down there that weekend but does that include wearing the outfits for the procession? 

Yep, Knights costumes for the parade but they are not a must but we do need lots of Union/George cross flags etc.

I have finally got details from the Football club today and all is the same as normal.

You are all welcome to arrive from lunch on Fri but if you are slightly early please wait until I have taken over the facilities before pitching.

The cost is the same as last year, £6 per adult for Fri & Sat and £2.50 for under 16's, anyone that can take the Mon off and stay for the Sun night gets a free one.

Fri evening will be a meet, greet, drink beer and send the wife for fish and chips.

Sat will start with the cruise at 1100,
Cruise Route.
From the football club to the chain ferry at  Studland BH19 3BA
From Sandbanks side  BH13 7QN to Pitwines car park (Sainsburys) Poole BH15 1XU
Stop for an hour for shopping and to grab a picnic
From Sainsburys to Tyneham Village via Povington hill car park BH20 5DE, Tyneham has no postcode but both locations are clearly shown on this map http://www.southwestcoastpath.com/walksdb/printable-walk/77/
Tyneham info is here http://tynehamopc.org.uk/visitors.html
After a look round the village the beach is only a short walk but there are no refreshments at Tyneham so grab something in Poole.
From Tyneham back to Swanage, passing through Corfe Castle.
1700 Back to watch the Aerostars (time TBC) http://www.aerostars.co.uk/
Sat Evening a help yourself BBQ then for those that want to it's down to sandpit field for more beer and to watch the fireworks.
Sun Breakfast in the clubhouse if we have enough interest?
Sun 1415 form up ready to move to the procession start.

Dogs are welcome but no fouling on the pitch (get it?), there is a game on Sat so please leave no valuables on site whilst we are out and due to FA rules all alcohol including empty's must be out of sight before we depart on the cruise.

See you all there, any questions please ask.

Really Flags, You do say the most stupid things at times    

Maybe, just maybe I heard that George may be making his first outing this year. He has given up with the Hokey Cokey engine (in out in out get it?) and has put his old, worn but working engine in to get MOT on Friday.

Fingers crossed as he has already missed Stoneleigh, IBW and NEWS due to a long list of issues with his engine build and poor quality, supposedly good quality,  'new' parts.

I haven't even unpacked the trailer tent since last weekend in hope of making an early start next week. Can't wait.

I have a friend who would like to come to this while he is in the UK.
bit of a buggy fan, has a manxter himself.
anyone got a spare seat to drive him through and make him feel welcome?

Im still waiting on confirmation on my passenger BUT if they can't do it then your friend is welcome with me. But absolutely! Send them down, if I can't, am sure there plenty of other spare places going!

There are always spare seats Dan, tell him he is welcome.

We are just drawing straws here to see who gets dumped with Liz for the weekend, so if I do manage to make it down, I will certainly have a spare seat myself

Won't be coming this year guys as I lost my mum on Friday.Enjoy yourselves,hope weather stays good for you.
Roy & Gill

Oh Roy, really sorry to hear that, condolences to you, gill and family.

And of course you will be very much missed this year too. Hope to see you soon. Take care.
