Re: WAR AND PEACE SHOW UPDATE

The show is only open to the public for 3 days !! but as people travel from all over the world to exhibit at the show the they camp over two weeks so you will see lots of military vechicles on the roads

With rope, keep out signs, barbed wire, mines - anything to keep a patch of grass for our tents!
A couple of years ago someone took our spot - boy the sparks flew :!: :twisted:

Are you and family still venturing down to Kent? If so i will post my mobile number soon with some sort of location for us. i.e turn left at big tank, right at the next, through muddy / dusty field we are under the big pirate flag, tents under camo net. :!:

Thats great, do you still have my number? Athough apparently we have the same spot as last year, but the road layout is different so it could be confusing :!:

Re: WAR AND PEACE SHOW UPDATE

If anyone else finds themselves at the show and wants to find us, our personal little patch of mud, grass or dust (dependant on weather) is in the Americas field turn first left then first right. then look for a green G!
For better directions, a chat, useful info or a cry for help use my mobile number (if you don't have it pm me with 3 pieces of identification and a direct debit for £10 :lol: )

Popping down to the show ground later as Rob has forgotten a few things.......... starting pistol :?: :?:
black plastic :?: :?:
tin opener :lol: shame there isn't a emoticon for hungry :lol:

will report if anything of interest is happening.

Great to see all you people who braved the weather. See you again next year for more fun and games :wink:
