1 Camping Ticket Wanted

[Fran]

Ok - i have signed the guestbook, i have my £70 ferry booked and i have even put out a call for the perfect tent sharing companion..... all i need now is a camping ticket!

Or am i still a bit too early to be worrying?

Would love to get back to Houx Annexe again this year but that might be too much to hope for....  

[jpchenet]

I didn't think you needed your own camping pass Fran.........you have plenty of eligable candidates to share with on here!!  

[Fran]

Lol - I thought I would just keep my options open with my own ticket!!

[jpchenet]

 

To be honest Fran, there don't seem to be that many tickets floating around at this time. Several on "that site" seem to be going for huge amounts over face value (more fool the bidders)

Last year there were dozens, nay hundreds, of spare tickets for sale in this section of the forum in the last month. And at that stage many tickets on "that site" were selling for less than face value.

I wouldn't panic.................YET!!

Your'e right there JP there seems to be a lot lesstickets floating around this year.

Last year MB tickets seemed to be two a penny maybe they havn't issued as many???

[jpchenet]

Could be quite spacious on MB this year then??

I don't really mind as we've finally got our act together this year and got the advance party arriving on Monday morning so we'll have our acre staked and claimed!!    What time shall we be there for breakfast??  

[Brian(Liverpool boys)]

JP, Monday morning, you may be able to sqeeze on at the far end arriving that late, breaky will be served around 0930. thats if Uncle Albert remembers the sausage and bacon.

We'll have plenty of sausages and bacon with us, but in all seriousness a warm bbq to knock up a quick brekkie before we unpack the van and start making up the camp could be quite handy!!

What boat are you on this year Brian??

[Brian(Liverpool boys)]

Sir, the use of our gas barbie is all yours if you would like to use it. We are out on the vomit comet 0730 Sunday morning and back on the 2300 Monday night.
Should be on MB Sunday afternoon.
Brian.

[jpchenet]

Thank you kindly sir!!  

Do you want me to meet you off the A34/M3 around Winchester early hours Sunday morning with breakfast??

Brian,
I may be asking if you would allow me to put my kippers under your grill.
It's looking like a 'back to basics' year for us, with no vans or mothership going down. So it's going to be tales from a small tent, which I predict will mean, amongst other things, warm beer, green sausages and dysentry. It's going to be a real deja-vu experience all over again, we've spoilt ourselves over the years with increasing levels of comfort and inebriation. Maybe Jaguar will win, as well.
Mysteriously, Uncle Albert is taking his van, but insists it will be full. I can't imagine with what, a man can only use so much 3-in-1 oil. Maybe he's planning on bringing back some eastern europeans.
Talking of Jaguar, I found this on the web the other day, I'm sure fax will enjoy it...

Warm beer H?!!!!  I wouldn't hear of it!!!

I'll make sure I have some chilled Grimbergen in the fridge for you!!!  

Hopefully off to Blackbushe tomorrow to look at vans!!

[BigH]

I'll make sure I have some chilled Grimbergen in the fridge for you!!!  

Well, that's the dysentry taken care of then...

[jpchenet]

On  aserious note H, if we do get the van/mini bus type vehicle we are thinking of then if you have a fridge you want us to take down it may be possible. (all depends on what vehicle we end up with if course)

We're looking for something fairly big as there'll be 6 of us in the advance party with all 23 peoples camping gear, two fridges, a freezer, tables, chairs, bbq's etc.

[BigH]

JP, yes mate, let me know if you have any spare room. Even if it's just to put my favourite slippers and pipe in!
