Blimey Nigel
I have just got back from a 200mile camping weekend in the rocket with my Westfield driving mate in the Forest of Dean and flashed up my shinny new computer and found ...
- A call to arms for a car pull, count me in! (and mrs mattsmev as long as she can be anchor man) - a 4x4 off road course (count miss mattsmev in) - space hopper games - count us all in - and a BRAND NEW MEV!!!! - i know nothing about this, what have i missed, are there any sneaky pictures?
"front engine, rear wheel drive is now being carried forward into an all new MEV which will be launched at The National Kit Car Festival on June 19th & 20th 2010 "
This has got to be a MUST ATTEND SHOW - who else is going - me and my friendly Westfield driving mate are hoping to go up on Friday Night, are we allowed to camp on the friday night?
Cheers
Mattsmev
PS can we do the car pull with a rocket? (or even Bocket!) or do we have to use the car supplied?

its going to be very borderline weather or not Bocket will make it it was newark last year i had the 'pocket rocket' idea. cant believe its taken a year to get this far. restoring campervans, rebuilding rockets, fitting bathrooms and moving house dont half get in the way! i think ive been at uni for some of this year too will

Hi everyone
I am just getting my life in order before the show, as i will be away all week in Saudi Arabia. Hopefully i'll be able to keep up with the forum but i can't be sure.
Anyway - last year there was a Bar B Que on the saturday night. I am not sure which kind person provided the heat but will it be there again and should we bring meat to cook?
I am more than willing to bring marsh mellows for Will, but I may not be able to get enough of them in the car.
I am really looking forward to this show. Please, if you are not a regular at the shows, come along and be part of the crowd, all Moggers are welcome.
Cheers
Mattsmev

Great pub just 8 minutes away called the Tawny Owl, NG24 3NG, brand new, good car park, 241 average £9 so say a fiver each. Booked for 7.00, hope thats good for everyone. Then back to the site for the band, hope Ozzy turns up again. Anyone going in fancy dress, I know a certain lady dressed as Superwoman once, seems like only yesterday! Stiggy

Seriously Moggers, 3x2 meter swimming pool purchased, why not make good use of this splendid weather?
Anyway apparently you not allowed in to the show unless you have your swimming attire with you.
