Final bits being done tomorrow ahead of the big 'plug in'

Will you deffinitely be bringing a large tent Russ? There's no grassy area in this paddock, just tarmac. A tent is a great idea, I have a small one (no comment) that just about does for the cr@p I lug about but it's not too water proof.

Mike B has a nice concertina thingy but he's not going.

Now there may be a few regulars, a BP marquee would be a real boon to us all. Sign written 'BP Members' Enclosure' how posh :grin:

Yes i will bring the tent, But it is`nt posh, yes it`s a fair size , but it was a family hand me down and hasnt been out the bag for several years!- but it should be able to keep several people and their gear dry!( provided the moths have`nt got to it) 8) From memory its got a big windowed front so we can laugh at the poor buggers that are getting wet outside. :grin: I`m not sure how we`d peg it down on concrete, but provided its not blowing a gale as well.. that should not be a problem- the roof ties on to the frame.

Don't worry about pegging it down, I have half a ton of tools, wheels and rubbish says it won't go anywhere :grin:

If the weather is going to be that bad (eek, no heater, worn r888's, limited ability) then I can bring a couple of tents along

The banner is covered :thumb: I sorted that out a while ago although I have no idea what we can tie it to, unless we use the fence that runs along the viewing area?
