Hello all!

Just seen this on another forum (sorry Jimmy)

National Update
I have been down to the track tonight to check on the situation.
The track itself has no problems with flooding
The field however is wet & boggy, but if people are sensible there is still places to park
We would advise people wanting to camp to make other arrangements unless you have got a fully waterproof tent
Caravans will have to be parked closer together so no awnings
People coming on Friday just to put up their pitting tent are advised to park on Rotten Row & carry their tent into the park.
To save on space we are asking people to car share & pitting tent share
Please wear sensible shoes or boots
I would like to thank you all for your cooperation I hope it turns out to be a good Weekend
Regards Eric

So it looks like pitting in the awning is out of the question.

Stu - are you going to take the tent shell to pit in?:confused:

Stu

Yep, will do.
As long as it's not like last weekend it should be OK.

To save on space we are asking people to car share & pitting tent share

With no sleeping compartments erected (he-he) the tent shell shell is quite big, room for a couple of tables; first come-first-served.

Hello, another slight change of plan, Kash rang me today and said he was iffy about coming down due to possibility of no tents so I have said that if it is too wet to put his tent up to sleep in and the caravans can stay on the site then he and Gemma can sleep in our caravan (gemma on the shelf obviously!). If it is too wet to even put the caravan on then we either try and blag onto the Caravan club site at the back of the track OR we come back home and everyone stays at our house or between ours and Stu's.

Hopefully we can put at least the caravans on and if need be put Kash's shell of a tent up to pit in ( nice and big).:D

25-05-2006, 06:35 PM

Yeah! Must admit Jimmy, when I read the post back I was expecting 120 people wanting to stay at my house!!!:o

BUT, I think with today being dry in the North West the field won't be too bad as long as people are sensible.:cool:

Eric Evison has posted this on the "other" forum:

Drivers willing to share their awning with other people will be allowed. We should get the extra space by not parking your cars next to the van.
Further update on the state of the field will be posted here as soon as one of the local lads have been there.
hope this solves your problem & feel free to tell others

Next (please) week is (buy) my 30th (me) birthday so (loads) on Saturday we (of) can go out (smart) in Southport (expensive) and have a good (presents) one.

I was going to say 'have it large' but I'm not into that type of thing.

29-05-2006, 12:18 AM

nah, not really. get to that time and you're going to be worn out either way. or rather, have to get out of bed at silly time and you're going to be worn out.

Northy

29-05-2006, 08:54 AM

Can't get the smell of Northy's trouser region out of my Losi XX:o

You are obviously picture godds

strobe

29-05-2006, 01:02 PM

Jimmy. Did you get any pics of the X10 in practice with a snapped chassis.

Stu

29-05-2006, 01:46 PM

I don't think anyone got any of that, shame as it would have been a winner.

Got the galleries up now, I've included G's spoon shots in with the other 4wd pics.

We'll keep up the spoon crazyness next time, the more inaprporiate the spoon/racing situation the better.

Stu

29-05-2006, 03:37 PM

Sorry Scaramanga, no pred pic's. I was marshalling your heat.

Next time I'll bring my compact & take I out with us, could get messy.

You could bring your spoon.

Northy

29-05-2006, 03:39 PM

Ok no worries. And you left early too and missed my final :(

jimmy

29-05-2006, 03:47 PM

The hand holding the spoon can not be Northy's, as the spoon is not bending!!!

Its early compared to 2.30 and up at 6.30.

You can come back and have a voice on the subject after spending all day working on cars and running about with half a ton of camera taking 800 photos.

:)

WHITTLER555

29-05-2006, 06:32 PM

Sorry Northy we did miss your final, but I think we got a bit pre occupied in getting the caravans off the field before everyone started to leave, churning the exit up even more.

How did you get on in your final?

Northy

29-05-2006, 06:40 PM

You probably missed the best final of the lot (apart from the A obviously)! :D

Would take too long to type what happened, I'll tell you when I next see you.

Came 4th though. :D

Northy

emzy

29-05-2006, 10:29 PM

........do you do the fandango?

Thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening (just like you lot and your spoons...!)

And Jimmy - deal. Add in arguments and hey, I'm set.

PaulRotheram

30-05-2006, 10:36 AM

thanks to emzy for keeping me safe on the way back from the chinese, and on the 'lil' walk. :) and of course the entertainment

we definatly need a playground at all other national venus.. especially roundybouts so jimmy can wake people up screaming like a lil girl haha :D

emzy

30-05-2006, 10:40 AM

oh aye but its me who gets blamed, isn't it!! Pffff. Quiet as a mouse me. *straightens the halo*

We need a slightly less micro-sized roundabout next time though... then we can all be sick! Yay!

You know, I was worried about thieving little Scouse charvs mugging me for my Chinese in the woods... but I was probably WITH the worst culprit!! :p

PaulRotheram

30-05-2006, 11:00 AM

:eek: well yes, but you also agreed we should of ate it together :p

that micro round about was scarey, then i wounder whos bright idea it was to tell us to close our eyes :( :p

batley has a skate park, so roller blades and ambulances are on standby

emzy

30-05-2006, 12:33 PM

No No No!!

Last time I was on roller blades I broke my arm in 2 places! Then again... if I have someone to hold my hands I'll be fine... and I've learnt to ice skate since then too!

Haha, PUT YOUR HEAD DOWN AND CLOSE YOUR EYES, GO ON, DO IT DO IT!! Well when did I ever say you should listen to me?!

Mrs oOple

30-05-2006, 12:51 PM

Don't listen to eMz! whatever you do...
She tried telling me to close my eyes - I nearly fell off! At high speed as well :S
*faster faster*.

I'll rollerblade with you at Batley eMz...
*holds hambds*

emzy

30-05-2006, 03:01 PM

Yay! Now I just need someone for the other side... who doesn't want me to die!

Hey... I was having fun! The head down was just a bit of madness! I want to spin on Saturday night too... but I don't think I could have stood it with the big boys!
