Six-cylinder Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I would be more than happy to open the Field of Dreams up to Autoshiters again this year. Last year after Shitefest 16 we had 2 further open days and these were very enjoyable and I realized that traveling to rally fields when I have my own is not always necessary and all I need is some friends to join me. From just somewhere to camp with your family - small gathering working on mine or your own stuff - larger group with maybe a visit off site such as the excellent idea David Fowler came up with of Bletchley Park just 15 minutes away, is all fine with me. The only issues are toilets, a few blokes using the hedge on a day visit is fine, we have a caravan toilet we can set up for a few guests, but larger camping groups will need to hire a plastic box. My free dates at the moment are:24/25 June1/2 July8/9 July12/13 Aug19/20 Aug9/10 Sep23/24 Sep7/8 Oct14/15 Oct21/22 Oct28/29 Oct Pick some dates it does not have to be limited to just one date. If Mr DW or anybody else was to organize there own version of a gathering using our field that would be fine.

JohnK Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I'm up for this, any of the dates suit just so long as I have a bit of notice, so I will go with the masses. I might even get the Solara to this one! Junkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 When does the field get cleared Mr Six Pot? After that seems wisest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I'd be up for it too. Out of those any date except first or possibly second weekend in July, because of a wedding and a possible AS meetup in the Lakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-cylinder Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 When does the field get cleared Mr Six Pot? After that seems wisest. We are not sure who is having the hay this year yet, but last year the farm did not take it until early September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanky Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I'll pop on up again if this goes ahead - I know where I'm going after all! Not got much to work on really, though the Yaris could do with a coolant change at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quicksilver Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Always up for another field of dreams gathering. Will check those dates but it's not exactly far away so we should be able to make it if we're free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I'm up for it, but as others above I'm so local that if I'm free I'm free, and may not sleep unless enough people camp to make it fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardmorris Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I'm happy to come up for a day ( or two) but won't dictate dates. July is ok for me. And August fine apart from GS rally at the start of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John F Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 19th / 20th August is likely* to coincide with the back end of the Anglo-Cambrian 3-litre Calibra lickers' return from a high-speed European road trip of unrestricted Autobahn sections, interesting WW2 locations and rude place names, so there's a good likelihood that we'll be passing Southernshire on our way home. Probably on ADAC / AA trucks. fiatdaft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 We are not sure who is having the hay this year yet, but last year the farm did not take it until until early September. To be honest, my summer is looking pretty crowded, so later in the year suits me better. Not that this should stop you having a gathering earlier, obviously!

Where exactly would it be?You need to go to the Esso in Thame, where you shall be blindfolded, put into the back of an Ldv pilot then driven there in secret, then the same on the way home. Its less than 5 miles from Buckingham for Google maps use! Brodders, AnthonyG, egg and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KruJoe Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Muddy SF16 coincided with Glasto I think, so all good porta-loos in England were there I guess. The one we had was a minger.Whoever supplied the ones at the Welshfests did a very good job, they had the cleanest, least wretchworthy shit box I have ever experienced. Can you remember who they were, Ian? RobT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
