VBOA Billing Convoy - 6-8 July

**Nobbie** · 05-06-2007, 08:55

As per this thread if your wanting to show with Central, it would be really helpful if you attended this meet. Details Here

I'd suggest all arriving at the same time, with the exception of a few if they want to go earlier to set-up the central area.

The more people we get arriving at the same time, the easier to set up.

I'll be leaving Hemel at about 6PM, and suggest meeting at the Bus Garage again at J14 M1, at about 6.30PM, then convoy to Billing.

astra_sri_andy · 05-06-2007, 09:24

I'm relucatant to use the M1 due to the roadworks.

**Nobbie** · 05-06-2007, 09:25

Yeah for you i wouldn't, you'd come the back way to J14 M1.

Nobbie...being only 10 mins from billing and having friday off (and the week after) i shall be at billing early (might be helping Tom if he needs a hand) if you want i can pick up any banners, ect from you at the meet and take them with me if this helps...bit of a short distance for me to do a convoy...

Johnny A · 05-06-2007, 12:32

Sounds good mate, won't be a problem meeting there.

**Nobbie** · 05-06-2007, 12:40

Yeah these are the things we need to work out, as Becky was also talking of going early on Friday. I think Nick has the old Central banner, and the Gazeeeeeeebo, Tom has the current banner i think, and need to know if your gonna bring this legendary bbq again?

I'm gonna try and bring a lesuire battery, with a small fridge again, and the usual cool box full of ice and beers for the first few days/hours.

**BeckyG** · 05-06-2007, 12:40

We talking about going up friday night then?

**Nobbie** · 05-06-2007, 13:13

Thought thats what you said? If not we can do Saturday morning, but Fridays lets us drink a bit too, and the evenings will be longer.

Hmmm I may have been confused...

Well I have my High School Reunion back in Cambridge on the Friday (7.30pm till 12am ish), not sure if I can be bothered to rush about just so I can attend both

Let me try n work it out

**jamied** · 05-06-2007, 16:06

Well me and emma and probly my mate bhav and his partner shall be there friday early anyway.

And.....we have a new BBQ...

...which at the moment is being 'redesigned' for Mig Central.

If you want to do the same as last year with the food, i shall put up a bit more of a menu so you all can have more of a choice this time.

**Nobbie** · 05-06-2007, 19:08

That would be good Jamie.

In that case i'll do a convoy or sorts on Friday, and anyone that wants to come on Saturday can do with Becky? Or are you coming from Camebridge?

nickyboy · 05-06-2007, 20:28

Pretty sure i have Friday off but will have to check, if so i will be at Billing early, i.e. lunchtime ish to set up camp/gazeebo etc

astra_sri_andy · 05-06-2007, 20:31

I can take the Friday off if needs be

**Nobbie** · 05-06-2007, 20:38

nickyboy · 09-06-2007, 12:00

Well it transpires i havent got the Friday off but hopefully will be able to finish early i.e. 4pmish so will have everything ready on the Thursday.

Colonel K · 11-06-2007, 17:03

I can volunteer a much easier to put up gazeeeeeeeebo if anyones interested? As long as it doesnt come back singed!

You can put it up by yaself if necessary, but with 4 people it takes about 30secs to put up!

This one.....

(Im doubting linking from facebook will work LOL)

nickyboy · 11-06-2007, 19:32

So Gash

Mine is easy to put up once you know what goes where.

I'm gonna have it out in the garden at the weekend and mark the poles etc

Nick didn't you tell me at PV that we'd use masking tape to fix it together if we couldnt get it set up within 1 hour this year??

How would you know how to set the thing up Becky....i've been told that you can't cope with large erections..

Waits for andy to kick my derrier...

astra_sri_andy · 13-06-2007, 12:38

No large erections here, Jamie. You must mean someone else.
