Well...we're not going to book in advance (only an hour and a half left)...i'm rather hoping that it happens like previous years that we get an invite to display. It's a gamble...but we'll see! :shock: (:D (:D Drum rollllll... :lol:

Simon actually replied to my email but it hadn't left his machine and he has found a scrambled version of it in his drafts file! e:(

Alright then, Busfest will give free entry to the driver of each display vehicle and the vehicle itself.

In exchange your EVW has to be present in the Display Hall Sat AND Sun (a point of honour). You can even go into the hall on the Fri if you want to, but it ain't essential. Furthermore you have to take part in a disaster scenario/demonstration at the event. (:D (:D (:D

There'll be a reserved Display Camping Area you have to go into. This also means escort vehicles i.e. a car or caravan required for cooking, camping etc. Max. one escort vehicle per display vehicle.

No need to post out passes, they'll have them ready when you arrive. Therefore I need a list of names and vehicle details to know, who is going to need access to site and Display Hall.

For all, who want to join the display, please use the attached form to register asap.

Please fill in the required details, save file and PM it to rolandrat.

Reg deadline is Sat Sept. 1st, 6 p.m., as I'm off for Busfest shortly after!

To enter the showground you can either use Yellow Gate or Brown Gate. I'd recommend Brown Gate, as it is adjacent to the Display Hall and our camp. Open on Fri for all arrivals anyway. On Sat it's manned at least.

CU soon

Roland

PM sent Roland /\:)

Will dig the Fire panel out of storage and check the sirens are still working (:D but happy to drive round with them on if Simon wants to put on a bit of a display :mrgreen:

Hopefully this will encourage one or two others to join in and create a line-up in the Avon Hall.

Thanks Roland, see you at SUNNY (hopefully) Busfest!

Just sent Dubberlover's (Steve's) form to Roland. So that's all sorted, thanks both.

Everybody else....(Updated)
You can pm your form by downloading it, completing it and then resaving it. Then if you PM me (Roland is now en route), you will have the little attachment button option, select the file and away you go! Or you can email it to me...details in the Busfest reminder email.
The deadline for these is Wednesday.
Any problems message me or lmpd 8-)
