2004 MG 'M' Day Pre-Event Camping & BBQ

[Austin-Rover]

Myself and a few other forum members are planning to have a camp-over on the evening of the 3rd July before the MG 'M' day event. This is a nice opportunity to have a relaxed journey to the event and have a BBQ and a bit of a laugh the night before and arrive at the event on Sunday nice and refreshed.

I have booked a few places at a campsite called Lodge Farm which is 7 miles or so away from the event. There is a £5 charge to pitch your tent and caravans are also available to hire overnight for a small sum.

Feel free to come down and join us...

I plan to come, looks like a nice campsite and should be a good laugh. Certainly breaks the journey up.

From what i can tell on other forums, camping is very linited in the local area on this weekend. Anyone else who is interested, please let me know, as i have to 'phone up the campsite this weekend to confirm our numbers...

Looking forward to it - Simon 2 (F153) and I shall be joining the happy campers for some viands and drunken tomfoolery.

Sounds like it's going to be fun. Those who are planning to meet up on the day and drive in convoy, do you perhaps fancy driving by the campsite and picking us up?

A nice leisurely 7 mile drive from there to the event, with loads of other Maestros and Montegos would do nicely.

I like the idea of beer/food/tomfoolery but I'm a rubbish camper. As I'm a lounge lizard, I like my home comforts too much. I tried camping once in Banbury in 1988 when I was a lot younger

The site also rents out static caravans for the less hardy of us.

Pah! A hollow excuse if there ever was one!

C'mon, it probably won't rain and there probably won't be gale-force winds, just like this weekend

It'd be great to see you there.

Now to get the ball rolling on that idea of mine!!!!!

How about the left hand bottom of the rear window you display the following:

MG1600S -Forum user name
Nick Bonthrone -Your real name

So everybody knows who everybody is and can contact one another....

Please don't put my details in your car as it might be confussing!!!
