Hi guys I have been working hard to get the 126 ready for the MOT.  Just finished the welding, think I blew a battery when I forgot to disconect after moving it burnt out coil as well I think anyway got it running again.  Things left to do need to fix the reverse, fog and one headlight so I might just make it with the 126 fingers crossed.

Hi all,
 Looking forward to Retro Rides this weekend and meeting up with those who are going, too old for camping in a tent these days so will be in my motorhome.
 Have just posted some parts I have for sale and will bring them with me.

Usual Rules apply

Campsite closes at 10pm
No cars moving after 10pm
Noise curfew is at 11pm
No open fired (raised BBQ's are fine)
and so on

There is a large skip situated next to the toilets and showers. Everyone will be given a black bin bag. Please use the black bin bag and deposit it in the skip at the end of the weekend. If you need more please come see us as we will have them. I have to say everyone was AWESOME with this last year.

Treat others as you would like to be treated, and leave the loos as you would like to find them!

Most importantly for this year ...

PLEASE - NO DRIVING AROUND THE CAMPSITE!
If you want to see your mate, or go to the loos, or whatever - WALK!
The camping field has had a hard time this year - i'm sure you've all noticed this glorious summer we're having! We're likely to get rain showers at some point over Fri or Sat and we don't want the field getting churned up unnecessarily.
Plus with more people, more kids, and alcohol about its just not wise. We want to be proactive rather than reactive here.

Most of all - be good to each other and have fun

oh, and take photos so I can have a look next week and see what I missed!

Hi All,

I've just printed off the directions using the postcode (don't have SatNav), they get me to Gotherington but I can't find a campsite address anywhere, does anyone have it or will it be easy to find if I get to Gotherington?

We're defintely on for the weekend but Friday is looking 50/50 as I may need to work and have done no preparation at all so far.  We will either be there between 6.00 to 7.00 on Friday or before 12.00 on Saturday so please save a place for our fish tent (thanks Lina!) and hopefully 2 cars from fleet Vitelli!

Got the sleeping bags, a crate of red wine, a bottle of strega, some cheese, olives and a loaf of bread...anything else I might need?
