quote aebous "CJ will get best/most novel mods IMO.....calling it now."
Funnily enough,me and John/sammyz thought just the same thing,lol...whatever we called the category
Thats why the voting will be a group vote,at the bbq,rather than just me and John trying to decide,lol
On the flip side now apparently we'll be able to make both runs (provided I don't make her too sick on the first day).[/quote]
Thats good...nothing to do the prizes
...just joking (its just some car cleaning bits n bobs,anyway/or is it???)

I think u can arrive anytime after 10a.m ,tho i will be pm-ing all those who are camping just shortly,with more info.(re campsites)
Both Little Acres and w/edge were ok with us leaving late afternoon on the Sunday,even tho their official policy is u should be out by 10a.m/12 noon,we didnt pack up til after the run on the Sunday,last year,which they said was ok. (espcly as we/the forum/are repeat business).
Count down is on - I've spent the last 3 weeks living in a tent and only the items I can fit in the boot of the Z, but I'm *still* looking forward to this 
Essential items are: tent, sleeping bag, airbed/mat, some drink of your choice.
We did a maccy d's run for breakfast last year - those gourmands amongst us may prefer to take a camp stove, bacon and a pan.
BBQ and the local tesco for food is a food bet - BBQ is on site, we'll buy coals and lighters with the food.
You could take a plate and cutlery if you wish, though we also bought paper plates and plastic knives and forks last year.
It'll be a very relaxed and easy going bunch of people, we just stuck a fiver in the pot last year and bought a variety of meat from the tescos for the BBQ

Thanks craig.

Still room for one more?
I'm a bit last minute here, but as the other half will be this coming weekend, it would be ideal for me to join you all. I'll be in a blue MR.
Since the campsites are full, I've provisionally found a B&B so I won't have to sleep in the car.
I'd be there for the Saturday and Sunday drives, plus the Saturday evening if you don't mind a non-camper crashing in.
