Rally [Aug 6, 2015] Bristol Balloon Fiesta Funster Rally. (Brsitol)

[Debs]

Or a .22 even.

.....one of them as well then

.......sorry, guns come under 'technical' in my book therefore I don't accept any responsibility for what may come out of my mouth or fingers

 

[ROB1CHELSEA1]

Did someone mention we can bring guns

 

[ROB1CHELSEA1]

hehe

 

[Debs]

Oh no........so is it going to be a mini arborist & gun meet?

And if not, perhaps we could have one????

 

[Mousy]

Just a thought fellow Funsters...I wonder if we should move all the funny banter posts over to the other festival thread and keep this one for actual updates meet info and factual details?

It's a long time til August and poor Trikeman is going to need to organise parking, bbq etc and this thread is already 31 pages long

I'm loving all the wonderful Funster sense of humour but if we move that over to rally chat leaving this thread for meet info I think it might make it easier.

What do you think?

Its a good idea Mousy, as I have to trawl though all the posts on this thread (regularly) hunting for anyone who has confirmed or has a serious issue/question/requirement. I love all the banter too and wouldn't want to loose that for sure, but how would we be able to transfer all/some of this thread to another - the festival thread???

When I set this one up as the official BIBF Rally thread it was for the items you mentioned above, updates, confirmations who's coming etc - but before I knew it (following morning) it was about 6 pages long.
And still growing

It is a brilliant idea just to have the Rally thread for all things Rally (a sort of serious one) and another for our filibustering. If one knows how to do this (without loosing the important bits) I would be happy to try it.

Regards,

Trikeman.

Hi @Trikeman, the easiest way is if we post the funny stuff on your first thread titled Bristol ballon festival-Interest-Potential rally. In rally chat and post on this one for info only.

Not sure but you may be able as the owner of that thread to change the title.

Hi @Mousy,
right, I just had a look at the other thread (the potential rally one in rally chat) and I genuinely think, as I don't want to miss anything in this confirmed Rally thread, we should keep this one AS IS as I have a good handle where we are to date but post no more on this thread unless it is specifically/important to do with the rally. We can use the other thread for our chat 'about the rally'.
What I mean is - if we put ONLY RALLY INFORMATION (important info) from here in on this thread and all other 'conversations' to do with the BIBF go on the Chat one.......... Does this make sense?????

I could put a request on this thread 'not for any more frolics' and put a link to the chat thread where we can wax lyrical, but Terry and I can use this thread for important updates and Funster questions etc.

Regards,

Trikeman.

 

[Mousy]

Yes thats exactly what I meant. Well done, we can get all over excited on the other thread and leave this one for da business.

IMPORTANT CHANGE.

Hi All,
we have decided that this thread will be for official BIBF information only, updates, changes, confirmations and 'serious' BIBF correspondence.

However, we don't want to loose the great fun we have had so far and I respectfully ask that this continues, on the thread in rally chat - link below.

http://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum...stival-interest-potential-rally.101689/page-8

Thanks to Mousy for the help, it was getting really difficult to keep tabs on the organisation bit in amongst our, natural, Funster banter.....

All banter now on the other thread please - but of course feel free to put any questions about the Rally here - I will regularly monitor this thread and once we get nearer we will post important bits here.

Many Thanks in anticipation.

Trikeman.

 

[Wombles]

It's so quiet here now! Trikeman do you want motorhome sizes now & first names to add to forum names?

 

[LilacMoss]

We must have a chat...................I lip read fairly well so often don't wear my phonaks. Pathetic I know but it's old codgers pride! So you can have a good laugh when I'm nodding my nut at inappropriate moments!

BB...we'll both be like two nodding "Oh yes..." british bulldogs that you find on the parcel shelves of cars...grinning inanely without knowing why...and having had a few of Puddleduck's specially made tablets with @movan Joy's special..ahem...ingredient from her chocolate cake, we'll be saying "elephant shoe" quite often....
PS For the uninitiated...go look in the mirror and lipread yourself say elephant shoe...what does it look like you're really saying....?

 

[LilacMoss]

Sorry Trikeman...will move to the other thread now....

Hi All - great news, hot off the press.

Just had a meet with Terry and have secured an additional 9 spaces (another row) for us Funsters - so more Funsters can join us.


The only fair way I can see to do this is as we have ALL done to date for everyone else. First confirmed, first served (to pardon the pun).

If you are not currently on the 'official' Funster rally list and wish to come to the Funster rally area - then send a booking form in and once Terry sends confirmations to you, let me know by pm and on the 'official' attendees list you will go - I beleive we have pushed the boat as far as we can, so I doubt there will be any more spaces in the Funster area in the future - we now have 41 spaces and the 'official' list has been updated to reflect this.

Unfortunately we are unable to reserve places on the 'official' list without being booked in and confirmed. There is a reserve list though, below the main list, on page 1 of this thread for awaiting Funsters.

Great News! Get the forms in.

Trikeman.

Yeees well although I like to think I am in touch with my Feminine side, I wouldn't want him to think I Bat for the other side if you get my drift, anyway I'd need to see a photo before I actually confirm my er lurv, cos some of the pics of folk already on here are just a little out of my league

Ps. I wonder how many fingers he has??

[wizzer59]

Oops sorry for the none witteee baaanterr, I have been nudged shoved over to tother one now ok. Sorry

 

[Trikeman]

Yes - now't but rally info here please,,,,,,,, well, until we get everyone booked in and sorted.

Shortly we will be looking for everyone's names, date of arrival/leaving, length of van et al. Instead of me doing just about everything over the rally (at least time for a beer or two) I am hoping some will throw up their hands to organise some sub-activities like barbeques - if that's what Funsters want of course.

NOT NOW PLEASE, WE WILL DO THIS ONCE WE HAVE OUR FINAL NUMBERS AND ALL CONFIRMATIONS.

I'll get some sort of grid made up for the marshals and us.

Regards.

Trikeman.

 

[TUCANO]

I would be happy to organize a run, SERIOUSLY
