Must admit I was a bit sceptical, it turned out to be a great weekend. Were fun camping in or outside the show.
We were inside as were an exhibitor, great value for money.
Not sure everyone wearing a dress was female though.

Dare I ask what you were exhibiting !
We were inside the showground ....only a few yards from the pavilion and the entry gate so no trouble getting in or out ....very well looked after by the Marshall's too.
I did see a guy dressed in a beautiful pair of lacy French knickers but all adds to the fun lol.

I took one of my motorbikes a BSA C15, by being a exhibitor we only had to pay £40.
Definitely be booking for next year.

Thanks to @Landy lover and @Wombles for the organising and marshalling, we had a great time over the weekend :)

O and yes we also saw a few not so lady like rocking there frocks looked like they were enjoying retro too lol.

We saw him too, but hey ho, live and let live :D2

We spent plenty of time chatting with a number of Funsters :D, and also gleaned some useful information on solar from Alan @Wombles; Paul @sarah + paul for explaining how to fill up refillable gas bottles; @Neckender for a really neat install of a gas fill point; @AllanK for his TV aerial :D

Plenty of food for thought over the coming months as to what next to do

Hope to see you again sometime soon

Cheers

Trevor & Ching

Back home now after a short but lovely sunny time at Stratford :sun:Will be adding some photos of Retro Newark soon to tempt even more Funsters to come along next year?!
We were warmly welcomed the RVOC marshalls & members - it was great to see everyone chatting :hi5: & having a good time :dance2:
For many Funsters & some RVOC members it was their first rally so good to be able meet the people behind the forum names & look forward to seeing you again :hi: Know that quite a few of you have already made new friends (y) many bought outfits to dress up in Retro style & some of us had dance or two :blusher:

Will add some photos now to show our great camping area & try to give a feel of what Retro was like but recently a lot of the photos seem to disappear into a box with a red cross :worried: after a while so look now just in case. Hope this will help those considering the upcoming Retro Newbury or either Retro in 2018 :smiley:

Since 2008 & many years tugging
Just talked some friends into joining Fun so they can join us at the Retro. Only problem is they said can you sort it all for us.:sneaky: Suppose I'd better as our daughter is marring their son in a few weeks & we are having the reception on their farm.:)
