Hi lads,
Looking forward to meeting you all.
Just been round the local, the one with the camp site, have two pitches for Friday and Saturday, for any of you with sleeping vans etc. Will be at the yard in the evening to greet you all.
Will be doing a barby on the Saturday, and Sunday if needed so no need to worry there, would be handy if any of you have access to a tea urn, as with only one kettle there might be a queue for tea :(
I am a bit short on 'air power' as I have not yet sorted my big compressor, so anyone with a portable unit that they can bring will help, also air hoses if you need lots of air tools.
The pub will be doing evening meals :D
Don't worry if you are going to be a bit late arriving, we will get you all sorted.
See you lads soon :D
