@Ambilkate Can you put @AdamH on the list please - he's new to all this

Has he paid? If not, tell him he is me but with new vehicle registration number ... I didn't say I was female ... it is paid for.

Aww that would have been great but he bought his ticket a while ago. Thanks anyway xx

It’s our first rally with the funsters, is there any procedures or do we just turn up smiling? ;-)

We’ve been many times before so we know what to expect.
However ,we’ve been on the road for a few weeks and have found that our dolphin has a small leak, our supply of Vaseline is nearly depleted (and I know how difficult axle grease can be to remove) and our bottle of Bulgarian pear vodka is a little rancid.
Still I’m sure I’ll be able to witness the ceremony from a distance if not take part in all the intimate details. At least my cloak will stay clean.

As long as you remember to wear your wetsuits, you'll be fine

 

[Revolvor]

Sorry guys I think I saw a post somewhere about the best approach to the racecourse and camp site. Can anyone advise please?

I posted info for approaching from the M4 (J18). (See Post #161 in this thread)

I'm not sure about coming from Devizes. However if you approach via the A4, from Box, (Google Maps route) I personally would NOT take the road off to the Racecourse at Upper Swainswick, as it is very narrow.

edit: It is quite a detour, but if you carry on up the hill (still on the A4) you will come to the roundabout mentioned in my post, where you should turn LEFT. The alternative it to go into Bath, and turn up Landsdown Hill, to the racecourse. This must be suitable for a MH as it is on the Park & Ride route.

Maybe later today, or Possibly Friday. It's this age thing.

ALARM
Sorry about alarm going off. I have a strike back set up and it told me that it was a ‘jamming attempt’!! Anyway spoke to alarm people and with the timings it looks perhaps like it was linked to setting of an alarm in the vicinity on a similar waveband and the system thought it was being compromised. Anyway they assure me that in the short term that it’s sorted. Fingers crossed.

[Janine]

Well, I am glad that I packed lots of jumpers - it's a bit cool here this morning! At least there is no mud

 

[Janine]

If anyone wants to catch the bus into town it's the 620 from by the pub at the end of the racecourse. Not very frequent but there is one at 1.15 down and 4.45 back.

 

[Purple2]

Landsdowne Park and ride is half a mile away as well. Very frequent from there

Not sure if there is a footpath down to it - it's a busy road.

 

[Janine]

Well it's been an interesting show - if you can call it that!

Quite a few vans to look at but virtually no accessory stalls or food outlets.

Having said that, the entertainment was very good both nights. Shame the bar was eye-wateringly expensive - £5 a pint and £6.50 for a G&T!

Not sure if I would come back next year ...

 

[Lisa]

How much?!

That’s extortionate.....

OMG what a rip of why does it warrant these sort if prices. You would think they would realise folk won't come back. Malvern autumn show was a lovely little show really enjoyed it there but then they changed the policy you couldn't take your own drinks In its a show we will not be doing again extortionate prices stupid service l
, long long que's we decided if we do any more shows it will be at a cost we can afford and that will mean not visiting the bars. .

 

[Janine]

To be fair, I think there is a room for us to use next to the vans which you can take your own drinks in. The entertainment was in the posh grandstand bar.

Some of us bought a drink and topped it up under the table

@SteveandDenise @Swansea Jack @patricia the newbie @WynandJean @Janine @AdamH @Little Camper @Chocy boy and others.

Thanks to all at the Bath Rally that made me feel welcome as a newcomer. It was great to meet a few of you and put faces to names. I know it was low-key, but it was very enjoyable, and I hope we will meet again at a future event.

It was lovely to meet you too. Hope your dog is feeling a bit better today

Thank you. She is a bit better but still off her food. Hope it doesn't mean an (expensive) visit to the vets. Enjoy the rest of your trip.

 

[scottie]

Totally agree with Janine. I will only come back next year as I didn' make it into Bath this time, that being the main purpose of my visit. The site itself was fine as was the weather. Stall wise, hard sell by the RSPB, and another company selling basically roof insulation. Even the Romsey how which is near me had a lot more accessories stalls. Didn't' do enternainment, was happy just relaxing.

............ and another company selling basically roof insulation.

He REALLY annoyed me! Started on his sales pitch as we walked by. Wouldn't listen to anything I said. Assumed our roof was falling to pieces without even asking! I cut him short and walked away.

 

[Nana]

Thank you everyone for a great weekend, we loved the company but couldn’t find the show (must have blinked). The RSPB man was extremely rude to us too, we chose to breath in the love and walked away quickly. The park and ride was an easy walk down the foot path and at £6 return per couple was a bargain! The £5 a pint at the evening show I have to say was not a bargin! To the wonderful musicians playing and singing in the Sunday sun thank you we loved it! If we had travelled to the show without booking with the funsters, we would have been home Friday evening. Thank you all for making us feel welcome on our first funster rally. Take care Mike and Toni

 

[Steve and Denise]

Now all moved on I told the RSPB man the only bird I was interested in was one in a chicken curry stopped him dead.
Nice company all weekend and some good laughs.DILLY DILLY
