UK Shitefest 2020 *Postponed*

[trigger]

Yo! I've been nominated (many times) to organise a shitefest next year, considering i can't even organise my own life then this could be a challenge but I'm happy to try and arrange something if there enough interest?.

I've made enquiries at the Rose pub where we hold our East Coast Retro car meets on in Shotley near Ipswich, Suffolk (IP9 1NL) and she's more than happy for us to use the field over weekend for £5 per person per night if sleeping over, there are toilet facilities and the pub does good grub plus they have a large room for us to have a meal or maybe a quiz on the Saturday night?.

I've also spoken to a friend who's a volunteer at the Ipswich Transport Museum and even though the museum is closed to the public on a Saturday he can't see no reason why we can't have the museum to ourselves for a private tour around and even the possibility of a bus ride on one of their historic buses which I'm sure a few on here would really enjoy.

Now it's obviously early days yet but what i need to know roughly is how many of you shitters be interested in this and i need to give the pub a date as their field is getting booked up so that we can secure for our chosen weekend.

Cheers Trigger. 3 way dilemma now, as mostly likely can do 1 from 3...

Shitefest 2020 = 121 miles
FoTU/FoD 2020 = 124 miles
Shitefest international = 350ish

Decisions, decisions!

[Wingz123]

Is the Ipswich museum just old english chod or is there old Germanic chod there too (here's hoping....)

[Heidel_Kakao]

Count me in As long as it doesn't clash with international Shitefest I am personally easy on dates.

[maxxo]

As a new shiter, i shall come to experience the fun

[wuvvum]

I'm in.

[skattrd]

You pick the date Trig, one that suits the pub and doesn't clash with anything obvious, SF Intl, RRG or whatever. 

Oh and I'm in, might be able to get @barmattto turn up as well.

I think FotU is up Leeds way next year, if their last facebook update is anything to go by.

scarred for life.............  wuvvum is going (joke dave)

[LightBulbFun]

Count me in for this one for sure! I really want to make it to a shitefest, so i'll be damned if I miss this one!

Im really hoping to have REV on the road, with a full driving licence by then and so I should be able to make it down without having to depend on anyone (although im not sure how overnighting is going to work out as I don't do tenting in a sleeping bag, I need something vaguely soft to sleep on!)

if I dont have REV on the road/a full licence by then im going to be very disappointed in myself!

@trigger may is perfect as theyre all spaced out and far enough away from french sf

Early May would be great for me as unlikely to clash with holidays that way.

[MrDuke]

It's a yes from me.

[Fumbler]

Definite yes from me

That's perfect for me, i shall bring cakes

[trigger]

I've just read that the Mayday back holiday is being put back next year for VE day to Friday 8th May so that's that weekend out, we could either do 1-3rd May or 15-17th May?.

[LightBulbFun]

15-17 may is what id go for, but only because it gives me more time in regards to getting REV on the road etc

so if more people prefer the 1-3 thats fine by me!

[mat_the_cat]

Maybe a poll giving a choice of dates that people *can't* make? I have no preference.

[Brodders]

Either works we me at the moment, but definitely up for this.

It's unlikely to ever be easier for me to get to than this, so I haven't got any excuse in not making it. Plus I have never been to the transport museum, so it's the perfect excuse to finally go there.

[hairnet]

if i had to vote - mid may 

how much a ticket to sit in the scorpio

[blakey79]

I'm in..

 

[Skizzer]

May sounds excellent. As does the whole thing.

[hairnet]
