Obviously it's impossible to completely eliminate opportunities for the virus to spread, but the idea is not to give it any opportunities that can be avoided. Ipswich is never necessary.

beko1987 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 We could do what those celebrities do when africa needs some money and have a big virtual shitefest. All plan a regional meet on the same day and all have half an hour logged into a big video call together but whilst apart... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have to be a very mini Shitefest! If I could find out (and sweet talk) whoever owns the field next door then maybe we could be talking. Edited to add: I think/hope Chumley may be a goer in September. Been meaning to throw a thread up... I’ll do it later.

BorniteIdentity Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Right, about bloody time we started to make some plans. Otherwise - before you know it - the summer is here, everyone's on the beach in their mankini looking at other people's wives, and we miss ANOTHER festival of rubbish motor cars. @trigger- are you having dialogue with the pub at Shotley for ECR events? Do you think this could be a possibility for late June 2021, or should we look at alternative venues? puddlethumper, St.Jude, brownnova and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardK Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Pleasepleaseplease be a plan. I really enjoyed the short bit of shitefest I got to go to (oddly enough now live near where it was too, but I think the Microcar museum is gone?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dozeydustman Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I can look at venues on the south coast if it’s of any use? Will make sure said place has decent facilities (showers, khasi etc) Shite Ron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerzy Woking Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 If an international Shitefest is considered, I have parking for a few dozen cars. The ground is firm so pitching tents will need thick tent pegs and a large hammer. Only fly in the ointment is that I am 1,200 miles from Dover (of course avoiding the toll roads).

When lockdown is over that sounds fantastic, one of the great things about owning old cars is getting to drive them and the roads in Europe are better than the UK, any hotels nearby?

There is a campsite 4 miles away that rents cabins and has a very good restaurant, cafe and bar. Not stayed there myself, but have eaten at both the restaurant and cafe. https://laspalmerasresort.com/en/camping/ BorniteIdentity and Shite Ron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorniteIdentity Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I'd have no problem driving down - it'd be the driving back that would suck. Should we start an export racket? Moving old heaps out to Espana?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St.Jude Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I would quite like something to look forward to, to bring the RAV4 to, to make the pain worthwhile. I did consider Festival of the Ordinary-BL-Bullocks but I don't think I'll get a place, as I don't think saying "I spent 5 months welding the arse of it" is reason enough to give me a place.

dozeydustman Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I'm considering a mini-meet in late May here on the South Coast as the 30-person limit will be in force. Could make it a day out at Amberley Working Museum as it's full of the sorts of old tat we seem to like. Had a couple of flaky answers from a couple of local campsites around the Chichester area but I don't think I'll get any definite answers for a few weeks yet. 808 Estate, Crackers, RichardK and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
