Billing, 26-28th July

Post by RMS » Mon Jun 03, 2013 11:22 am

Hi guys,

We've got confirmation that we have a show stand at the Billing Land Rover Fest on 26-28th July.

We have 8 vehicle passes so if anyone wants to go, please PM me :cheers:

This is a 3 day event, and priority will be given to those who can make all three days (setup on Thursday 25th before 9pm, or before 9AM on Friday 26th).

Cheers,
Robin.

Can we have some pics of a "Convoy of Carawagon's" doing the off road course please :wink:

I used to like this event and went every year when living in the uk.

Hi Jerry,

We don't usually do the off-road course at these events as it means striking camp and battening down the hatches!

A bit easier when you're a single unit camping, but we tend to set up 'tarp city' across all the awning poles :stars:

I suppose we ought to do it at one of them, but if you want a taster, I assume you've seen our youtube video?

Cheers,
Robin.

G day Robin, as much as I would like to be with the lads on a camp I have yet to get settled and continue tinkering with my truck or trucks even so I can just get away which I miss greatly but I will get there in time.

Although it might appear my situations are now solved with me being at my bungalow I have still got a good way to go to get any sort of normality back in my life :cactus: but I will get there just not fast enough but the thought of sitting round a camp fire keeps me focused if only very slowly with the way I work.

Catch you later. R-Rose :tiphat: .

Hi Brad,

No problem - though we will miss you and your cold beans, rice pudding and tinned fruit :gold:

Perhaps another workshop meet might be a good idea - I know there's a limited amount that can get done in one day, but it might help :shrug:
We could even have a camp fire in the evening :cheers:

If you're up for it, I could suggest a couple of dates between shows to see who's available?

Look after yourself,
Robin.

Hi Phillip, you're already on the list :cheers:

No payment is needed for the big shows - the club stands are free as we are part of the attraction for the public :gold:

Though I do feel that if we don't put on a good show (that means a good number on the stand) we might not be offered a stand next time, hence me pushing folk to come :tiphat:

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Patrick will make it, and Steve will be out of the country, so the famous 4 won't be setting up tarp city at this show :embarassed:

The management did tell me they had bumped a couple of stands this year as although they asked for the full 8 pass allocation, they only had 3 or 4 vehicles on their stands :thud:

Cheers,
Robin.
