Julian has the Gazbo, I would like to camp in the same area, as we all stop together.
All the Tickets are now posted, will all please let me know when you receive yours.
Bill.

[tommundy]

Looking forward to this! I may have my arm twisted to make a big stew on the Friday night! :) Lois and me are off to a Muse gig on Saturday night (well, doors open at 5pm so we may have to talk to a marshall about getting let out before 4pm), but we should be back by midnight ish, so plenty of time for drinking! :D

I should pick up my Tatton tickets when I'm in Beverley next weekend.

[Master-B]

I may have my arm twisted to make a big stew on the Friday night!

Cor! The food of champions, let us know if you want any ingredients bringing

[tommundy]

Cor! The food of champions, let us know if you want any ingredients bringing
Cheers Kris!

I did have the idea of asking people for donations if they had some stew and then any money over the cost price of the ingredients could go to a chosen charity? Not sure what people would think of that though?

[coverco]

Cor! The food of champions, let us know if you want any ingredients bringing

Would those ingredients be biscuits by any chance :-)

A stew on Friday night would be good Tom but can we buy some better meat this year, you know how fussy I am with my meat ;-)

Can't wait for this, what time is everyone planning on getting there on Friday, I hope to be there about 2 or 3pm to get set up.

No Tommy, I have had my fill of biscuits & this is backed up by science - compare my jeans size from 8 years ago to those I wear today!! I was thinking of raiding my dads allotments for carrots and onions and all that :-)

I am going to try and work from home on the friday, in which case I'll stop in to claim a campervan & awning sized camping plot mid afternoon. Otherwise it will be about 8pm & i'll need some folk to selfishly park their mk1's to save me ample camping space.

Which reminds me... Bill the ticket arrived today, thanks. Can you check that I'll have no issues getting the van in though, as it says tent on it instead of camper. Cheers mate.

[88mister2]

Thanks Bill, the ticket arrived today. See you all on the 1st June
Denis

[coverco]

My ticket also arrived, thanks Bill. See you all soon :-)

[BigP]

Ticket arrived today Bill - 9.00am on the Friday - M62 in rush hour? Zikes!!!

[Master-B]

I wouldnt have thought you need to be there at 9 on friday mate, he means for the show days

[coverco]

Get there as early as you can on the Friday so that we can get a good pitch.

[bill hulme]

FRIDAY.... I will arrive about 3.00 pm the sooner you can get there about that time the better so we can all be together camping.
Bill.

[coverco]

Bill, it will be you Mike and me as always, unless Kris can get there early.

Hopefully Julian will get there at a reasonable time and we can surround his massive motor home :-)

[Master-B]

Ill do my best :-)

[Lakelad]

Ticket arrived today - Thanks Bill

Graham

[coverco]

Oh I just thought, does anyone want a t-shirt like we had last year. I know Alison wanted one but if anyone else wants one let me know, the price will be the same £6 black polo with name and club name on front and MR2 MK1 club logo on back.

Kris, if Alison wants one let me know what size (by PM if you like :-) )

Here is a picture of Gary with his on, Julian has his on as well under his fleece :-)

[N Millar]

I will be there early Saturday morning - ticket arrived this week.

[Jimbo_Jet]

Go my ticket yesterday, thanks Bill!

Did you get your PC sorted and do you need me to come round with Photoshop for you?

[julianw]

Tommy - can you do me another shirt please? Only having one scares me that i'll mess it up! I've got work in Birmingham on the Friday but aim to get the camper in in the evening anyway, wherever you choose, people. Bill - got my ticket thanks. Tom - my camper kitchen is at your disposal whenever. I'm up for the charitable stew. And did someone say The Mastiffs are going to be there? I love their gigs!

[coverco]

Course I can Julian, you had a medium last time didn't you?

[coverco]

Julian please confirm size.

The cut off for shirts is Thursday 23rd as I need to order them on Friday :-)

[bill hulme]

The Club has supplied 3 Trophy's for Tatton, The cars will be judged on Sunday as normal,
There are still places for the Tatton show in August if you put your name down.
Bill.

[Master-B]

Bill did you get the chance to check up on that ticket query I had?

EDIT: thanks for the call mate

[coverco]

Bill did you get the chance to check up on that ticket query I had?


Was the query "Is the ticket valid for people with bald spots" by any chance :-)

I am so looking forward to a show .......

[Master-B]

Its not a bald spot, its a big crown.

[coverco]

Its not a bald spot, its a big crown.

Off course it is, silly me :-)

[tommundy]

Woo, woo, not long now! :D

Now, where's that sun?...

[coverco]

^^^^^^^^

What he said :-)

[N Millar]

Hi guys - what happens if it rains.... I have never taken mine out in the wet....

[tommundy]

It won't melt. Even Tommy brings his to Tatton if it rains. :)

The weather forecast looks good anyway at the moment, so nothing to worry about.

[Master-B]

We get wet! It rained almost constantly for 3 days last year... generally we stayed in the gazebo but it did stop every now and then to check out the show, have a campfire etc

[AW11mike]

Rain is not going to stop me going! MY DETAILING!!!:o

[coverco]

It is not a case of if it rains it is a case of how much it rains :-)

My car gets wet 2 to 3 times a year depending on how many shows I go to. I have owned the car for over 6 years and have only used the lights once!!! I don't take mine out in the rain or the dark but you have to make an exception for the shows.

[mk1 dal]

if it rains it rains but personally i will be wearing my beer coat( at night ) so i wont care :lol:are we having a wee drop of Whiskey this year Tommy mate .im really looking forward to this show rain or shine ,to all people new to tatton don't be afraid to socialize with the regular attendees everybody is friendly and sociable and a great bunch . to get the best out of this show show camping is a must , the night time is great fun . are we cutting the grass this year , the wifes taking the merc has the blue mr2 wont be ready so i could bring the mower and get the generator off Phil to cut the grass , + my brothers car has not been flatted or mopped yet( new paint ) so it could be done at tatton using the gen for power to show how to get your paint work to show condition . not long now :+:

gary

[coverco]

A wee dram would go down nicely Gary, strictly for medicinal purposes off course :-)

[tommundy]

Well, it looks like I'll be bringing the new blue car as I'm still waiting on the last few parts to rebuild the drive shaft on the black one. I'll bring a number plate from the black one to help sweet talk the marshals to allow entry in a different car!

Weather forecasts are looking promising too. :D *touches wood*

Cheers,
Tom

[coverco]

I wish I was going in a blue car :-)

Who fills in the tickets? If it is Bill then surely you can change it, otherwise just bluetak your number plates from the 1.5 on the blue car, once you are in the grounds of Tatton it should not matter.

[Master-B]

At least its the same make and model Tom... Mrs Gary is coming in a merc estate :-D Looking forward to the stand this year with your stripped out special, Andys bumblebee paint job and aw11mikes detailed jdm style car its cool to have a few different interpretations there. A stand full of identical show queens like the tr7 or capri clubs always turn out is just boring.

[AW11mike]

looking foward to the car show! my MR2 has never been in a show before,so just finished polishing my teardrops:D,looking foward to meeting everybody and checking out the cars!:D

[Master-B]

Youll love it mate great laugh on the stand, so much cool stuff to see, loads of stalls selling more detailing kit than you could dream of AND the sun will be shining :-D

[coverco]

I am now ready :-)

[Master-B]

What are you bringing your snow sled for Tommy, its sun sun sun all weekend ;-)

[bill hulme]

There are still places left for the August Tatton Show, So put your name down.
Bill.

[coverco]

What are you bringing your snow sled for Tommy, its sun sun sun all weekend ;-)

This will allow me to bring extra stuff Kris, I have already set a bottle of Jack Daniels out, hopefully I can get a bottle of brandy in as well :-)

[Master-B]

Ha ha. Nevermind a bottle, you should manage to get a case or 2 on the back there... :-)

[coverco]

I might not be doing this right but it should be OK :-)

What more could you need? :)

[Master-B]

Cant see any problems there Tommy! Squeeze on a can of shandy for Mike and youre all set!

[coverco]

Well that's Friday night sorted, I guess I will have to pop out to the Co-op for Saturday nights refreshments :-)

[N Millar]

I am just putting the finishing touches to mine - mainly fitting a new exhaust..... Realised that I had two bolts missing, so a mate of mine made two for me - here is a piccie of them, quite cool I think

[Master-B]

[Master-B]

The sun is shining over in Sheffield! :D

[coverco]

Sun is shining in Barnsley, getting ready to go. Try and get there as early as you can Tom so we can claim a good pitch.

Firstly, thanks to Bill once again for organising it all.

A cracking weekend, which had the weather to match the great crowd of people that attended! :D

I'm happy that, thanks to Julian bringing his fire pit again, we have brought camp fires back to Tatton Park. There's nothing quite like talking MR2 whilst burning wood!

I'll upload some pics tomorrow as I'm shattered now. :)

Cheers all!

Tom

Great meeting you Mike, and your brother also! Your two cars are stunning and it's obvious that a lot of love and money has gone into making them what they are. I look forward to seeing you start a thread about the supercharger you're working on! :)

Gutted I missed it, but will hopefully make it down to the next one.

[chief44]

Nice pictures Gary. Looks like I missed a great weekend out. Next year!

[Master-B]

Nice pictures Gary. Looks like I missed a great weekend out. Next year!

Whats wrong with this year... theres another one in August ;-)

[chief44]

Aha, that'll do then! I'll try my best. Might even have my boot-space/booze-space back by then. Crackin'

[chief44]

Bugger! Scrap that. Just checked and I'm working that weekend. Rubbish!

[AW11mike]

[Boondougal]

I literally could not be annoyed more that I didn't see this stand. I went last minute as a relative of mine had a beetle and a camper can in light blue on show(beetle won something) so I wasn't sure if anyone mk1 was there. No idea how I missed it but glad you had a good time. Fingers crossed I can join you one day.

Hi, there's another show in August if you want to show your car and get a free ticket to get in.
Bill.

[julianw]

Nice to see everyone. Thanks again, Bill, for your organisational skills! A great show.

[Lologee]

Hi all! I'm tommundy's other half :-) I've finally got round to editing and uploading my photos from Tatton this year. Here they are (in case anyone's interested!)

http://www.flickr.com/photos/lologee/sets/72157634732987555/

[Master-B]

Thanks Lois, some great pics there, loving the one of bob scrounging for even more food!

[coverco]

Very artistic Lois :-)

[Lologee]

Thanks guys! Getting excited about Silverstone now - I should probably start packing :D
