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

[G51 NAV]

I hope he weather holds out for you guys on Saturday, and on Sunday, for that matter. The forecast is shoddy.

Rain has threatened on one or two occasions in the five years I've been vistiting these shows. The last weeks in June and first weeks in July are nearly always unpredictable - the so-called "Wimbledon Weeks"! I think the clubs organising the event (mainly MGM Group, I think) should look at organising future events maybe a week or two later than currently.

BBC 5-day forecast looks okay to me John:

Sorry, that is too cruel - here is a link to the site so we can keep an eye on things:

Coventry 5-day forecast from BBC Weather

Today in Bristol we had cloud, raindrop and half a sun but it only rained for about 20 minutes this morning and the rest of the day was warm.

I have been checking this regularly and it changes by the hour. Fingers crossed

It's going to rain. Happy camping

Having said that conditions at the moment are very unsettled and based on the last week or so, I don't think you can really tell until the day itself!

Oooh, can we have the lovely Lisa Burke do the weather for us?

[G51 NAV]

She's nice. She can come round and polish my head and grease my nipples anytime. On the car, of course. Then in return I'd give her a good servicing and oil-change :laugh:

Post of the year! Well done that man!

Oi, less of the 'old'!

Anyways, many a good tune played on an old instrument

And everyone knows old tools were built better, stronger, and last longer. My ex-girlfriends don't call me "Andrex" for nothing

Old as in figure of speech, meant in a nice way

Back to camping for just a sec...

I presume Simon and Matt, you are still joining us on Saturday night? The rest of us will be turning up for roughly 5 o'clock.

Nothing much more has been said about our proposed trip to the museum beforehand so are we still undecided there?

Lets hope there is good weather so we can get our BBQ lit - or else we go hungry!

:laugh:

Yeah, regardless of the weather Matt and I will be there happy camping (in the heterosexual sense, of course).

We've got stuff to do on Saturday morning so won't be there for the museum but will try to arrive at a similar time to you lot, it'll prolly be around 17:30 I'd have thought.

In terms of barbeque, what are your plans? If you are thinking of using disposable ones then I may nip to homebase and buy a cheapie reuseable one that everyone can use. It'll give me an excuse to camp over at Nene park in august as well! £20 buys a fairly respectable one these days.

See you there,

Simon R.

[Austin-Rover]

Simon, we were planning on using disposable BBQ's - i'm not sure if we have any yet though, or are buying some on the day???

We will be visiting a Supermarket in Rugby soon after we arive at the Campsite anyway to purchase the necessities...

What? I beg your pardon? I don't remember saying regardless of the weather! I'm a fair weather camper, me.
