Home Again
 

Did everyone get home safely>?

Nice to meet 2 new members (nots13+Datdrift)

It was a nice weekend away. BBQ was a bummer on the sat night. Robert Dyers are probably going to get beaten up by claire next weekend i should expect :p . The weather was good for 90% of the weekend though and our plot wasnt too bad and we were in a decent location. Ive caught the sun a bit amd am looking forward to having a shower and an early night tonight.. :)

am a die hard & staying up late.!!! the location was ok, the weather appauling as some people got injured. hanging on to the tent for dear life..!! would have wanted more of the cars turning up. hope next year will be better with a better turn out. the firework display was good. the trade stands were a bit disserpointing.

£5.00 for fish and chips..!! they did ride in on horse back with masks on im sure.!

looking forward o next year. with avengence

1 hour of wind and rain over the whole weekend is fine enough for me.It was hot other than that.

Yep sorry about some of the site admin not turning up or letting us know. :o.Other than that we had enough cars to get noticed and look interesting which was one of the main things :)

I thought it was very good overall. The weather was good overall. That storm as a bit of a shocker but that's the UK for you!

I agree with Jon, it's a shame that some of the regular forum visitors (some of which had their names on the attendance list) didn't turn up or even let us know. Perhaps S12OC should charge £10 upfront for each person attending a show. That way people might actually bother to come when they say they will and the money can go towards club beer, BBQ food, etc.

A bit of club funding from the members would go a long way. Currently, the stand equipment, web site hosting, food, beers, etc. are all provided by a few of us where as it would be nice to see a donation from everyone to make it fairer. Not to mention we could fund some sort of entertainment (as SXOC and all the other clubs do). Looking at it that way, a tenner each in advance to have our cars on the stand isn't a lot and it would show us how many people intend to turn up when they say they will.

Overall I'd say it was a good weekend. Many thanks to everyone who did make the effort to come along and it was nice meeting up with everyone again and indeed meeting some new faces too.

Nice one guys n gals :cool:

Short visit
 

Hello peebs, managed to get home in a pretty quick 2hrs 45 which was much better than 3hrs plus to get down in , Rich your motor looked as mint as ever and rest were good to see aswell, hope to get me MASSIVE turbo on this next week or so . I put the exhaust wastegate housing upto it yesterday and good news it is going to fit so the work begins soon.
Sorry to see you guys got wet but that helfof the fun they reckon:D :D .

I will be there next year fingers crossed.

yep we all enjoyed it, tomo200 was disappionted that he could only come down for the friday, as he was going to ibiza at 12pm on saturday nite, yeah i bet he was lol:D ,yep good fireworks display, lots of food and drink, i'am glad non of you turned up as early as me, as you would have seen me hanging off of the fence, trying to stop the field from spinning:o , as i had no breakfast and started drinking and tried smoking somthing that had been freshly mowed ;) , other than that i enjoyed it, it was very pleasing to get dens beastie running something like for him, it was a three man job, den pumping the clutch,jon opening and shutting the bleed screw and me supervising lol:D ,rich, i'd deffo throw some wonga in for next year if it would help.:)

That's cool Shaun :cool:

I just think £10 for each person or car attending would give us enough funds to supply all the food, plenty of drink, etc. Also we would then have a good idea of who intends to actually turn up, rather than have a long list of attendees who don't show up.


I took the generator as I was under the impression that disco gear was being brought up. That'd have made it all much more fun for the kids. At least Claire made use of the power for her straighteners though!!

I'm not having a moan, I thought it was a really good weekend. I'd just like to see an equal amount of input from everyone and if someone really can't make it at the last minute, a telephone call wouldn't go a miss to let us know.

Lecture over children :D
:trout

Who didn't turn up then?

i couldnt tirn up due to not having a lift to get there but i do understand where richard k is coming from i would suggest that in future events we can contribute £10 for food and drinks i dont see it being a problem i do apologise for not making it but my poxy rover 100 would not have made it and being bloody wedding season everyone i know are either getting married or going to weddings so a lift was impossible sorry again

Yep thats cool. Its good that all the expensive things are actually paid for from 'paid members' a year or so ago. That took the big bill of the gazebo etc out the way. Subscriptions just are not really going to work as i originally thought as i have hardly anytime as it is anymore to do paperwork. So just an individual contribution per show attendane would be the best bet.

We were going to have dj equipent and a tv and playstation Rich but Firstly Dr silvia couldnt show as his cars poorly and he couldnt get the tools and parts in time but that was fine as he did let us know. I wont go into other no show-ups as these things happen and its done now.If we were a big club with tens of thousands of s12s still on the road it wouldnt be a problem.We cant really blame anyone but ourselves for choosing to have a rarer car. I also had to bring double the amount of luggage this year as i was the only person coming in a car from down here instead of 3 people so i couldnt fit anything else in my car.

All this only really effected us in the evening though and the actual show itself wasnt effected at all and was a nice weekend.Although i was quite worn out at work today.

We will have to come up with some club actuivities ourselves next year and have a mad pissup competition i recon. Hopefully i will have more money next year and definatly my car should be looking spanking and much better than all yours :trout ;) . I was brasic this year as my headgasket and turbo went last week and i had to work late through the evenings after and before work and cough up £££ to get it done in time to get up to the event

How are your Tyres Richard?

when will the club pictures be put on the site...

hello all. we eventually got back yesterday after a 4 hour boat trip!!!!:furious
well worth the long journey as we both really enjoyed the weekend.
i watched the dvd with the s12 impul silvia this morning. christ its quick! they don't show as much footage as i'd like though. looking forward to the next event. and olivia is very sorry she couldn't take you up on your offer claire. we will try make the trip soon though

I only took 25 min to get back cos i live 18 miles away! i would definately cough up a tenner to help fund for a show. count me in on that one. did anyone see me on the a1 about 11 at night? i was trying to watch out for some race action seeing as it was a jap car show( ie lots of power) and it was held right next a nice straight wide road? saw a bit.

sounds like everyone had a blast:) i was doubly gutted this year as its the second time my car hasnt been in a roadworthy state for JAE:(, then to top the weekend off my computer broke on the friday:mad: fixed it yesterday, now im still catching up on emails etc:rolleyes:
