Hi

Sorry to be a killjoy here, but I can see apart from the fun, a recipe for injury etc!

The Hotel will let us do most things, but a beer barrel rolling competition may be pushing it plus they probably will not let us use one of there's. If we were to have this as another idea for the day somebody will have to bring a beer barrel with them so we don't have to ask the Hotel!

If peps want this as another feature of the day then lets us know plus who would like to source the necessary equi and get it there etc please let me know!

Andy

U right about that Andy, maybe at the white horse at the field at there backyard

Mark

This maybe an idea for Friday night down the pub?
As you are being tasked with Fri nights fun I will leave you to look into this for the pub!

[Mr Tank]

165 days of and yet more till the Fest

As you know the theme for this year is the 30 years of the 350i.

I would like to arrange the parking for the 350i to start with num 1 or if we are lucky any of the pre-production cars then num 1 and then to park the cars in Chassis number order no matter if its a DH, FHC or SX etc. The Series 1 cars to be folowed by the Series 2 cars right up to the last Series 2 car. Then the line up will continue with the 350SEs with the last made 350i (Which is a SE) at the end.

Then all of the other Wedge car's will be parked in their usual model groupings!

Does that sound OK to everybody!

I have asked Stuart to do us a logo featuring the 350i for us and he hopefully will be coming down in his 350i as well!

Sounds like a great idea Andy.

Let us know nearer the time when you, or whomever, needs the chassis numbers to sort out the order!

I'm sure that this will be a great fest (as they all are!) and 30 years is definitely something to celebrate there's not that many euroblob jelly moulds running around that can profess to having 30 years of heritage.

Mark

Chassis numbers on the 350i are relativly easy to sort out so we should not have to much of a problem there!

Andy

[Mr Tank]

[Mr Tank]

Hi

I have just started a new post about the Banquet so if you want to book the Sat evening meal then please go onto that post to do your booking!

I have also updated the Rolling Road post, which has a disappointing situation which is unless we have some more takers then we will have no option but to cancel it, as we would have to make up and short fall with regard to cost!

Andy

[Mr Tank]

153 days to go.

[Mr Tank]

152 days to the best fun day of the year!

The evening not looking so good as we may not have a evening meal unless people start booking for the Banquet! (new list just been posted)

[Mr Tank]

151 days to go That means its nearly less than 150 days to go which means in English 21 and a bit weeks to the biggest and best Wedge event of the year!

Th hotel (Which is big enough) has plenty of rooms left. Well it did till today as a baulk booking is going in for 9 rooms! So please don't miss out book now!

[Mr Tank]

Hi

Great to hear two of the stalwarts of the fest are booking in. Crawford to see if he can win the concourse three times in a row and Adam just to see his dancing

[Mr Tank]

Hi

Well we have some sad news for the Fest,

Elvis will not be in the building, he has other buildings to visit on that day!

So has anybody have another entertainment ideas to go with the Disco,

Please let me know!

Andy

[Mr Tank]

145 days to go,

I have organised another evening entertainer to replace "Wedge Elvis". This act will perform some time in the evening in conjuction with the Disco.

Now in the recent past the Disco has been some pre-arranged music on a hard drive. This year we are pushing the boat/wedge out to celebrate the 350i and we are haveing a live Disco.

With music themed from the 60's, 70's and wedge years the 80,s

There will be no charge for this, it's there for all to enjoy. In the past the Dancing has been lead by a few ladies and gents in kilts. Now so far they don't appear to be coming south of the boarder. (They are saving the fuel for the Rusty Nail Run) so we want to see some more people up dancing. I off course would love to join them, and you never know I may in some way!
If anybody wants to arrange some scenery for the evening then please get in contact!

I have obtained permision to play a video done by the TVR Staff during the 80's of there antics they got up to in the factory and while they were abroad demonstrating the cars!
I will play this during the Banquet. It's basiclly them taking the p_ _ _ out off them selves and the motoring press!

Andy
