Event Festival of the Unexceptional 2019 - free camping and free breakfast available!

[brownnova]

We’re up for a FoD camp potentially.

It’s the Friday we break from school tho, so we need to decide between afternoon drinks and travel Saturday morning or travelling down Friday and camping...

[beko1987]

I am, the kids won't want to do the show and ive left it too late to do on my own.

A bigger plan is forming though in that eva really wants to go camping and this seems a very safe 'my first camping trip' location, if she wakes up screaming in the night I can leave the tent where it is and be home in 20 minutes... 

If enough people are coming just to camp I'll be there earlier! Chris has a big gazebo that I've assembled before, so if it rains we can have somewhere to sit. 

 

We could make our own festival of the unexceptional... 

[Bucketeer]

It may be a positive or it may not but I'll definitely be there camping in the FoD, for reasons obvious to some.

"your problem now vrooooooom" 

[kirton]

Shitely probably required for Krujoe's frying pan:

1.  SF19 (or generally Exeter area) to FOU

2.  FOU to Chumley

and then possibly more onwards until delivered

I may get to FOD for FOU but my wife is having an operation the week before so I may be needed at home for delivery of tlc

 

[brownnova]

I could potentially do the FOU to Chumley leg... 

[davidfowler2000]

I too also am doing FOD and Chumly is likely

[brownnova]

It would be well travelled by then up to Scotchland and back.... maybe we should see how well travelled we could make it.... and how many hands it could pass through on the way... 

[SiC]

I probably could do the Exeter to FoD leg.

Whilst being used and not washed

[Bucketeer]

I can take it from the FoD to Joe's house. It's a bit boring, direct, and short-winded I know.

[trigger]

I'll be there in the blue Marina as it's been picked as one of the main display cars!

[wuvvum]

And so it should!

Excellent news. I've been itching to cop an eyeful of this little beauty for ages

Excellent! Likewise, '88 Sunny has been accepted for the concours. Now means I've got to make more of an effort to get it ready, which to be honest it does deserve.

[Unexceptional]

Everyone who applied for the Concours De l'Ordinaire will of had an email today to say if they were selected or not. 

[wuvvum]

Should have entered my CX...

Not selected. Was too much to hope for a repeat of last year....

[JohnK]

Yes I will be there, I'm still hopeful for getting the Solara there however the Stanza will be there if I haven't got the Solara sorted by then.

I'm expecting to be down at my place in Torquay late June, early July. If it made it to TQ1 I could drop it in a pub or curry house in Bradford of Joe's choosing.

[quicksilver]

Maxi didn't get into the concours but was selected for the Anniversary Class. Not sure what that entails as it's new this year.

I think most would agree that a brown Stanza would be a very acceptable substitute.

Its a special class for models celebrating anniversary's this year, your car will still be judged   

[wuvvum]

Aah yes, the Maxi turns 50 this year doesn't it?

Could be on. Sounds like a good reason for one of our train trips to Torquay and a trip on the Brixham ferry. Should be easy to spot me with a small frying pan in my hand
