As some of you may know I've been quiet for abit busy on other things then got wiped out by an elderly driver in my other pride an joy which was destroyed and me put in hospital.
So was going to tear my buggy down and make her an auto to help my left leg,but while I still can im getting her out, new engine purchased bit of detailing and parts put her in new beam and I'll be back out and seeing as I've never managed to do swanage I'm making an effort this year and I'm keeping buggy so Georgina can drive next year then decide what I do with it.
Watch out its going to be much faster than before and maybe flames again on over run lol

I won't say I will be there because when I do, I don't make it.

Is Swanage always the same time each year? Just wondering is NEWS and Swanage will ever be a week a part? 

Hi Hazel, pretty sure its fixed that way, yes... 2 weeks apart between the two? A weekend to recover! 

Just a bit awkward for those coming over from Belgium. Patrick and Toon were planning on doing both until they realised there was a weekend in between.

Midland folks, what time are you thinking of travelling down??
Surprise surprise, I've been asked to work on the Friday now 

Hazel we leave between half 7 and 8 o'clock, with a couple of stops on the way down 

I may have to come down later then, maybe with Dave Dream 

I'm planning to come only on the Sunday (26th July) just for the parade. What time will you all be leaving the campsite to get inline for the parade?

You need to get there (football club) by about 1230 Mel otherwise traffic is a mare.

As there is just over a month to go can we have a sticky on this Dave then we can sort out a new list?

Any idea of good time to depart on the Sunday evening when the traffic has died down (going home via chainlink ferry)?

Best time to leave is as soon as we have done the run in the buggies, before the carnival has finished.

Mel we left the first time we went after the carnival and sat in the rain for two hours to get on the ferry i would recommend leaving as the buggy run finishes

Oohh! Chris . . You will be in trouble with Flags saying that . . . .   

It never rains on Carnival day   

Last year arrived & took part in the carnival which was brilliant.
This year hope to make it down for Saturday morning to join the cruise & camp.
Do we check in with the football club first - whats the normal protocol?
Is the cruise starting at 11am?

Excellent,

Flags is the one to confirm but generally yes, head to the club, get your tent set up etc if you want we then congregate in the car park by the club for setting off. I think the time is usually 11am or there abouts.
