For being assaulted at work (I think this is becoming a bit of a habit!), This chap got his comeuppance via a good arm locking though, no head and foot interfaces Hopefully said moron will plead guilty and I wont have to go but I wont know that for a while.

How do I get motogp tickets incidentally?

Craig, just what is it about you that makes people want to hit you??

Still, that just means that you will miss the early morning traffic on Friday and be able to travel quietly

Not a clue - I'm not bothering

Yup, specially as its just tents in a field now

Dont expect bands, though, this is NotPistonfest, after all.

[ali_kat]

Yep, drop me an email ASAP - details are going out this weekend

[ali_kat]

Apologies now - my (new!) laptop is now broken - it 'fell' off the table (fvcking kittens) and has to go back to the manufacturer to replace the hard drive (10-14 working days). Which means, I have no emails to refer to (I use Outlook to collect them), nor my list of email addresses and people that wanted to come.........

Soooo........

We are going here, as recommended by Balmoral Green and Jagdpanther a few pages back

Hill Farm Camping & Caravan Park
Hill Farm,
Moor Lane,
Barrow-on-Trent
Derby DE73 7HH
Tel. [phone]

Field with the trees in the middle is visible here, to the right of Moor Lane, just north of the farmhouse, above the pointer arrow...

Facilities are minimal though, only one loo and basin, shower. Wholly inadequate for sure

But then, those of you that responded to my email re showers & toilets voted to go without and use WetWipes

I will get any new emails (from today) as will be stored on Yahoo, but all my history is gone until I get my laptop back , so any questions please ask here or mail me

Sorry!!

Cheers Ali.

What time are people getting there??

Think we will be there somepoint in the morning. Am sure we will have a few extra cold beers for those poor souls arriving late.

[ali_kat]

No problem

I'll be there in the morning sometime (having already been there earlier that week to get our 'pitch' roped off)

No word from Marcus on the Beer Tent yet But I have a paddling pool as an ice bucket....... So if people can bring bags/coolboxes full of ice - great

I did send an email asking for beer orders as the plan was to make a CostCo run beforehand, but am pleased no one bothered to respond to it - no can do now Marcus is out of the country unexpectedly

Wish I had seen this earlier . Its the only weekend until the end of August I don't have plans but don't think I can make it work.

If I can would a small marquee come in handy?

If I can figure out how to get there, and borrow a van for the big tent Ill pm you Ali. If you don't hear by friday I can't make it but I would be up for any future ones.

[chris_w666]

Hi ali, can't make it sadly and the huge tent would never have fit in the fester (no spare vans at work ). Will make it next time if this becomes an event.

[ali_kat]

Never mind
