I'd like to be there, work permitting. I'd be happy to pose for mug shots. Is there a beer tent this year, or have the H & S contingent struck? If there is one, wouldn't that be the obvious place? :-)

Regards

Pete

I'll be there at some point. Difficult to predict when because of work & family commitments.

Dave, I'd suggest the beer tent at lunchtime (1.30 ?) like last year. I hope to be there one of the two days.

For those of you not sure whether to go or not - its a must.

I'm intending to be there Friday night, so Saturday at the beer tent at 1.30 sounds OK to me.

Previous family engagement means an Early Bath on Saturday evening, so those who go Sunday will miss me!

Kim Siddorn.

Sadly not this year - so you'll probably be blessed with good weather ;-)

Forecast this am was rain either Fri or Sat, but they said today would be dry & I've been forced inside by the rain for the last hour

Yes, I saw a cheery soul forecasting last evening, glorious week, cloudy & rain on Friday, torrential downpour on Saturday.

And this, of course is the ONE rally with the "Thou shalt stand in the rain until thy melt" ruling. Tush, fishing umbrellas my left buttock - p'raps I'll go worm drowning instead.

....... but I suspect not. ;o))

Ah....1.30...... The Auctioneer will be about halfway through the lots, could get a bargain with so many major enginemen out of the way in the beer tent. Hope you all have a safe journey there and back - Paul.

Hi David,

Fran and I will be there as usual, all weekend. Taking our two New Hollands this year. Please stop and say hello if you're passing.

Look forward to putting faces to some of the new names on the group.

Regards, Mark

We will be there from the friday for the weekend with two Fowlers....quite easy to spot, one of them is burgundy red ! :-) Hope to see you there, make sure and say hello. Regards David

Jim & Dolly French and I will be there. The beer tent is an EXCELLENT gathering spot! 8-))

Hi Arnie, I hadn't put your gang on the list I was making as I thought you wouldn,t be reading this list. PS Do you think the beer tent will have enough left by 1.30 if you start you normal behaviour. See

Just finally landed home from work - got to get the Amanco in the back of the car and I'll be at Astle Park bright and breezy in the morning. See you all at the beer tent at 1:30 on Saturday (or indeed Friday afternoon and evening as well ;-).
