Mornin All
arrived at The Americana 1.5 Hrs early and they sent me away:cry:
met with mr jobs worth at the gate and told Elf and Saftey still inspectin so go drive round for a couple of hrs and come back, I did ask if i could park up on the 35 acre drive way but was told there is no room, damn clever these camouflaged motorhomes cos I coudnt see any on there at all:Doh:
Hey Ho
Parked up at a service station about a mile away from the show with free Wi Fi so just wasting an hour or so before attempt No 2
think i spotted Pete and Shirl (Arazona Cheif) tucked into a lay by/gateway near the grounds:thumb:

It's a case of the early bird catches the jobsworth.:BigGrin:
I bet they won't argue with Bruno when he arrives.:Rofl1:
 
We arrived about Lunchtime on the Thursday last year. We had to wait hours whilst they got their act together and would let us park up, never mind the weekends definitely worth it:thumb: have fun y'all

I would have said " Fine Thanks You Can Shove Your Event " and turned around and never came back all jobsworth are A******es I bet he had a pony tail under every tail theres an A*****le :Rofl1::Rofl1::Rofl1:
 
Americana's security mostly look rough, plenty of tattoos, leather, moustaches and ponytails. :Smile:That said, last year I found them to be very professional and courteous, so you can't always judge a book by the cover.:Smile:
 
No this was a proffesional Jw he even had the mandatory limp:Rofl1::Rofl1:
came back still an hr early and there were 200 in the Q and we were greeted by the Hells angle crew who had it sorted in less than 10 mins
were parked up now Rory and Jans here, along with Roul,also Jock and Rita, we have just been joined by a Southwind but too wet to meet and greet so dont know who that is yet, bumped into Pete and Brian from the oswestry meet
weather grim hope things pick up

Hi all,

It has dried out a treat now, and things are looking brighter on the horizon.

For now, there are 9 Funsters pitched, and if accurate, here is our expected weather over the next few days. Link Removed

Early night for me I am knackered.

Morning all,

Last night saw many of us watching some of the live acts, however, it did get a little bit chilly after the sun went down. This morning, the sun is trying to poke through the cloud, and hopefully another dry day ahead, until tea time at least. Link Removed
The next two days should be busier with day visitors, however, there doesn't appear to be as many traders, as there was last year.

TTFN,

Jock & Rita.
 
must say a big THANK YOU to Tony Santana for all his help, much appreciated.

also it was nice meeting up with suffolkboy right at the last hour at the Americana.
