BBWF 09 ??

[B@man]

Anyone Know if what's happening ?

Our TVRCC RO was asking the other night and it was a case of "Dunno", last thing I read was that Ettington Chase was fully booked and there was a possibility of an Alternative venue in Manchester.

Does anyone know if anything has changed ???

[Dave_M]

Don't know, but I could do with knowing the date as we are trying to arrange SCH09 and don't want to clash if we can avoid it.

I was thinking the same thing this morning....hope it happens!

[BadRed]

I’m a bit busy washing my hair and learning about caravans , Gandalf is doing a Esperanto open university course and Weeman has bought a offshore powerboat, not sure what Paul is up to but I bet it involves major surgery on a Wedge or ambulance. So it’s over to you …… Hope won’t make things happen! Actions make things happen.

edit to add... Stuart won the euro-millions just after christmas so do think you will hear from him, and Lee has bought a Hairdressing Salon in Dudley so he has to work every saturday

Hey I was Only asking

So basically if we don't get off our collective backsides and do something 09 will be wedgefestless....

I wonder if Staverton Park (DeVere venue) in Daventry would mind us taping off a section of their car park?

Similar place to EC.

Still around, and you are correct I am doing major surgery on the Wedge, and soon hopefully it will have 4 wheels again, but only to turn it 180 degrees so I can start the other side !
Also pondering whether to sell the WSV as not using it enough - not used since BBWF last year (except for a comfy workshop for stripping the Wedge of its suspension ) , but may take to Lemons for 1 last trip

If the Wedge community are interested in coming to the North West then I may have a location that ticks most of the boxes.
Plenty of rooms and facilities, parking is absolutely no problem and location is a 10 min drive from the M6, and also very close to M62, M65, M61 and M55
Post up and let me know and I will arrange a meeting to see if they can accomodate our requirements and I will report back within the next week.

We travelled 6hrs to BBWF 08 last year. So if we ending travelling 4/5hrs it wouldent bother us this year. What you would need to agree on firstly is where would everyone be willing to travel to then find a suitable venue.
Cheers john...

I personally don't have a problem in that area...

[carob]

No probs with me.

May not have a wedge by then but would still be looking at attending.

If there is anything that we could add from up our neck of the woods i am sure myself and dixiebabes should be able to help.

Bearing in mind the distances our friends from up North travel each and every year I don't have any grounds to grumble over travelling a few hours for the best car event on the callender!

[ed_crouch]

It'd work for me. Southern convoy would have to be a VERY early affair though! Rumble rumble.

[B@man]

Sounds good... it's only a couple of hours away so I'm not going to argue (or make comments about better beer up't north - oops)

[GRFNUT]

hi all rumour had it there was to be a joint wedge and growl event. I was looking forward to that as I have a griff and the wife a wedge. Disappointed when not listed in the sprint. Normally help out with growl so willing to do our bit for bbwf09. Do we have a lead contact?

[Dave_M]

We're happy to travel, sometimes if events are too close it's less fun

[Jonny weggie]

Yes your right Dave, half the fun is driving to the event watching the other drivers drooling over the cars that we drive then shout out to give it a quick burst.. Brill.

[chedder]

Ok time for a little update, I have arranged an appointment with the 'Events' manager of the location for tomorrow, and will let you all know if it looks like a venue we can use.

Good news. We hope to have news of the date for S club soon, so it'll be good to avoid a clash.
