80, 20 rule. Get 80% of the work done in 20% of the time. The final 20% of the work will take 80% of the time.

Its ok to turn up on Saturday if you want a settling in day. Assume this is directed to me . ( correct ? )
You and I will be there Saturday, to set up club tent, see how much room we have, possition caravan / extra tent etc.
Normal punters, fee paying, are not allowed in on Saturday, and no one without a free pass for Saturday set up day. ( only two passes are issued )
I ( Ram ) have one and you ( terryrob ) has one.

Unless its changed there are masses of cars come in on saturday, maybe just for people who are camping or staying on the grounds and only through the main gate, and weekend + camping payment covered it, George Hill will be coming on saturday I'm pretty sure.

Its ok to turn up on Saturday if you want a settling in day. If you are camping, and have paid for camping, you can access the site from 12 noon Saturday.
It has been related to me that if putting your car on the Eagle Owners site, you "should" be allowed into the site on Saturday, but not before 10 am.
Terry and I have free passes to enter on Saturday, from 10am onwards and other days, ( A5 - to display on windscreen ) But the organisers have changed, so the rules "May" have changed.

I hope everyone who can possibly be there will make the effort. Graham has put a lot of time and dosh into this weekend and the club re-boot I would hate to see him and terry standing in the club tent like a air of spare parts so please, please go. I sincerely hope some of the 100 plus cars that COULD make it turn up, after all you have had 3 years to get it ready. remember, 'use it or loose it'. All the best guys and have a great show.

Graham has put a lot of time and dosh into this weekend and the club re-boot Hi., not looking for applause, attention or vindication, but here are two photos showing what it takes to get a decent GOOD quality tent, and accessories to the show, and thanks to Terry also for continuing his role, as he has previously, with a caraven or trailer tent and Members BBQ.
Tent poles 6'-6" long so front passenger seat inoperable. GF wil have to look at the back of my head ( probably suits her ! ) Trailer has the tent material in, tables - chairs-cooker-battery- maybe even a heater. and more to put in car and trailer. Car fitted with tow bar this week.
So, i'm up to £ 1000 so far, so Please get there. if not, then get to Newark.
Monday seems the best day for little or no rain.
Regards Graham ( R.a.M ) -must finish packing ) photos below
one more follows.

get some steel or brass tubes and cut poles in half I may do, once it's out of guarantee, next show or 2nd, GF can take the trailer, and I'll go in the Eagle SS. she's NOT driving the Eagle or Porsche. She scrapes WIDE driveway entrance posts, so no thank you. The car picured is an insurance write off ( I owned it the time ) and did not allow it to go to a garage ( hence they would scrap it ) and I got it valued at almost twice what they originally offered, but I managed it, so It's paid for, long ago, so she can write it off for a second time, and get I paid again ! !
i wont be on line till the evenings. ( Stoneleigh ) so if you need help, need to find us, use the telephone number in first post.
I also do not have my phone web / data enabled. Saves lots of money, therefore sending emails don't get received until i turn on a real computer to receive Emails / new forum messages. hence at Stoneleigh - emails / forum will only be accessed at the Hotel.. Sad, I know, but you don't accrue money by spending it.
G.W.

Yes, but how much do you pay per month contract for your "free" services. I pay nothing as it's a pay as you go phone. £ 1 per month for more expensive phone calls, but as I'm home all day ( mostly ) I use my broard band phone wire for internet and phone calls . I let the GF use her money for directions on her mobile, As i said, you don't accrue money by spending it. ! ! !
and yes, good weekend; good average turn out. Put faces to names.
