This is all very 'if it happens then it will happen' ( typical Funster meet in fact ) but will give an idea as to the sort of things happening :thumb:

Welcome to the Thetford Bash !
This weekend is about two things
Enjoying your self and raising a few quid for Air Ambulance


A Rough guide to what is happening ( Times will proly vary as nothing is set in stone )

Friday
1) Arrive and get settled
2) If you are going on the bike ride out go fill up with petrol !!
2) Chinese at the Rugby club.. This is from 8PM. Motorhomers, please bring eating irons if possible


Saturday
1) More arrivals and settling in !
2) Again, if you intend going on the ride out please go fill up with petrol
3) Ride out. We will be using the drop off system of out riders. Please see Jaws or Clive ( Silver Fox ) if you are unsure about this. Slower riders at the front please, quicker ones at the back
4) 7.30pm ( ish ) Music time ! Presenting Kenny Barnard !!
5) 9.00pm ( ish ) the charity auction will start. Please bring your items and lots of lolly !
6) 10.00pm Kenny is back on the case !

For those who are not going on the ride out Thetford town offers a wonderful place to visit,, with both ancient and modern history. There is a ‘Dads Army’ museum ( the program was made here in the town to a great extent ! ), the Ancient House, Button Island, River Walk, the Thomas Paine history ( he who wrote the ‘Rights Of Man’ which stirred up those pesky ‘A merkans’ in to revolt !! ) plus many more great places all around the area
If you fancy a bit of a ramble, just across the A134 from the camp site is the river which runs all the way in to Thetford. It is about 2 miles and is quite a tough walk.
See Jaws or one of the other ‘locals’ for more details


Sunday ( very laid back.. Do what will fit in ! )
1) Breakfast until about 9.30 to 10.00
2) Say Hello circle. Come get in the circle and say hello to everyone else
3) 11.00 First heats of moped racing. Even if you are not having a go, come and cheer your friends !
4) The SPECIAL bike. .Can you ride a pedal cycle ? Can you ride THIS one ! ?
5) Semi finals and finals of moped racing
6) Silly games !!
7) Impromptu musical session
8) Ped racing winners cup presented and Dingbat answers !
9) Thank you’s !
10 ) Impromptu musical session

Monday
1) Time to start packing up
2) Hope to have live entertainment at lunchtime and pass the hat for the guy on stage
4) Sad goodbye’s and farewell’s
3) Anyone left who can assist, help clear up the field with me !


As they say, ‘der management’ hopes you had a great time and would like to thank one and all for ‘coming on down’ !

Yes mate.. Already had you down for the Chinese but will add you to the list for the Sunday roasts ::bigsmile:

Supposed to be a possible shower on Friday morning then brightening up for Saturday..
Risk of light showers ( at the moment but it is a long was off yet ! ) on Sunday

Of course, we are talking about the only profession where a guess ( that is oft wrong ! ) is perfectly acceptable :Doh:

John P10, I think John was just trying to get an idea of numbers for the Sunday roast so the rugby club had an idea of what stock to buy in,

Will be posting this up in the rally section too, and getting it on the calendar, but thought I would post it on here first !!



Just this minute had confirmation the Rugby Club has accepted our booking for next year..

As usual, it is the last bank holiday weekend in May and will run from Friday the 24th until Monday the 27th..

Friday night, chinese buffet ( book closer to the time )

Saturday rideout or walkabout depending on what you want to do

Saturday night a band, and the usual charity auction to raise lolly for Air Ambulance

At least one band for Saturday night, and a sort of amateur band on Sunday night .. The guys do all the old favorites that people like to join in with !!

Sunday silly games ( Couple of new ones this year hopefully.. a push bike that steers the wrong way !!

A Sunday roast can be ordered at the club house

Fast food will be available all day Saturday and Sunday from the club house

Aint got any costings yet but providing we get support as usual it should be a tenner a head with all children up to 15 ( and disabled dependants of any age ) free.

As the year before last was such a massive success mixing in us lot from Motorhome Fun and the good folks from B.I.R.D. , I will be doing it again .. So a chance to meet up with friends made at the last Bash @tu*

Hi is there any spaces left fot the sat/sun/monday if so do we pay on arrival or on here:thumb:

Just copied this from an earlier post
The address is:

Thetford Rugby Club, Two Mile Bottom Mundford Rd ( A134 ), Thetford, Norfolk, IP24 1LZ

It is two miles out of Thetford on the A134 heading in the Kings Lynn direction.

There will be a flappy board by the side of the road with BASH on it as well as the Norfolk County Council sign pointing to the rugby club <!-- / message -->

sadly I can't bring my trike. The clutch thrust bearing has decided to fall apart. Means the gearbox has to come off and there isn't before the weekend:cry::cry::cry::cry:
