Hiya, I know I'm biased, but objectively, I really really liked the show, thought there was a good atmosphere and a lot to do and look at. I didnt even realise the club 'car park' was there and that big until like 2pm!!

what did you all think?

The quiz,
the club games?
the change of layout?
bands?
anything else....



*did anyone see me doing the Mini Push?

The pub quiz was good fun- we came third :lol:
I think there could have been more club games though, maybee more like SMD where the clubs compete in the morning to get into the finals in the afternoon, or something along those lines...
The new layout was 100x better than last year- having it on the tarmac was a very good idea.
And the band were very good, but you couldnt hear them half the time because of the s**t music that the fun-fair was blasting out all night :(

I hardly saw any TMFers, apart from Shifty Seamus in his elf leaving! Walked around the club stands a few times looking for ours but then came home to learn we didn't have one :(, uploading 50 of the photographs now, I'll keep them in an album to keep this tidy :lol:.

you woke me up on sunday morning sheree :lol:


i am SO sorry!

I'm not usually like that. I think that fact that I hadn't had anything to eat since friday afternoon had something to do with it :(


dont worry, i would have been woken up 20 mins later with my dad phoneing me.

Was a very good weekend craig... was alot better than last year. Hell even the weather held out for the show this year. (and i wasn't ill :lol: :( >_<)

Oh and Phoenix made it there which made the whole experience 100% better...

Didn't take part in the quiz or see any of the club games :angel: And watching the mini mag team doing a mini push would have been great but i missed that to :)

Well done Mini mag! Was a great show! :)

I had a really nice time! :angel: Although, everything I wanted all the stalls were out of stock so didnt buy anything in the end :(

My hazzards also decided to stop working on the M1!! Pulled into the services, but they'd already started working again! >_<

We also nearly got squished by some prune in a van with a trailer who thought it would be safe for him to do 75 >:) He started to move over as we were overtaking him...thank god he heard us honking!

I saw quite a few people, most of them were stood with Wolfy and I wasnt sure who they were :lol:

Great show!

Thanks to whoever leant me and my girlfriend that lighter! (I was in the red fiesta and had the tiny tent that I swear looked bigger in the shop!)

Well WCM have been so good to me in the past I had to camp with you really, or id be with Daz with the MiniDirectory, or TMF of course, but I always spend time with TMFers so wanted to hang with the WCM crew. Plus you're group is the type to keep the noise down after a certain time, and i had to get up early!!

Yeah was nice to meet you and your mrs or you and your fella (depending on who's posting) i quite like your car too!

As for piccys... hahaha, no way, they will be uploaded somewhere for all to see! hehe (including one of Jeff holding a handbag! and me bricking it in Rob Cave's ERA (ive never search for a brace bar as much in all my life - i think my fingerprints are permanently indented into his passenger seat!)

Hotel room - pah, means i couldnt get drunk with everyone and go on the whirlizer and almost make the boss puke. lol. (plus it was miles away)
