@caleta42
Brian, just chatting with Terry and he has received your booking form etc. He will send confirmation this evening - so, you are now fully booked in.
Regards,

Trikeman.

Hi,
@@johnboscoirl @@JudyKeith @@currynutter @@wizzer59 @@Chipy210

Last Call for your vehicle/dates information requested above and in the Rally thread - have requested a few times also PM'd - but no replies.

Please PM me your details ASAP - without these details I am unable to reserve pitches on the Funster area that will suit you (as in when your turn up dates/van size etc).


PLEASE forward the details as the rest of the Funsters have.

Regards,

Trikeman.

I've just read the last few pages and am a little bemused. Any way, can you fit a small one in, or am I too late?
This is a genuine inquiry from a newbie, not a double entendre.

Hi @Dorwyn
unfortunately we have fully booked up our Funster allocation - sorry.

However, the allocation we have booked up to the limit is specifically for an area 'reserved' for the Funsters, the rest of the venue may have a few spaces left - though not many I believe.

Not to let you down, can I suggest you contact Terry (details of Cotham Park RFC further up both this chat thread, and on the official rally thread) and if he has any spaces left at the venue get the booking form in and if you do get a space then we can hold you on our reserve list - if a Funster space becomes available through cancellation or we get offered any more pitches, then in you fit.

Although I cannot guarantee it, we may be able to 'shuffle up' to squeeze a small one in - however, if you book yourself in you will never be more than a rugby pitch or two away from the Funsters (at worse) and you can still join in our Fun, and some say debauchery - you will be more than welcome. It's just a parking spaces/pitches issue.

Hope it helps,

Regards,

Trikeman.

 

[Taran_Las]

and some say debauchery

Do you charge extra for that?​

 

[Badknee]

Do you charge extra for that?​

No it's all in the price.

 

[Badknee]

I think you have to pay if you don't want debouching

What! Moi?

 

[LAM]

Dorwyn, have you had any joy with finding/contacting 'Terry' ? I have just found this thread (been away) and would also like to join the funsters at the festival. Appreciate it is a reserve list, but would like to join it nevertheless

I thought Debs said it was a knickerless weekend for the women? Or was I just fantasising again. It's the medication you know.

Ah so no knickers anywhere then, sounds like there will be plenty of bushes though

Haha, I go every month for my Bromide prescription.

UPDATE!

Hi All,
Just got back from our BIBF venue at Cotham Park RFC where Terry and I went through the lists to confirm everyone - all booked in.
However, we have discovered that there are several who have sent in booking forms with 'Funster' or 'Motorhome Fun' on them that are not on our official Funster list - page one of the rally thread.
We cannot guarantee that anyone not on our main confirmed list will be able to get into the Funster area - but if you have a confirmation then you will be able to be accommodated on the venue, unfortunately not in the Funster area.

Here are a couple of photo's of the venue this morning - one photo has Terry out on his mower - doing the business. You will see the clubhouse in the distance - Oh yes, with huge 'communal' showers,,,,,, Way - Hay!!!!!!!

FUNSTER AREA. We will 'try' to put Fun flags up the posts too.

Are you sure........really sure you want two lots?

Oh yes......otherwise it'll mean showering with clothes on and that's just not the same is it

Fear not @Debs

There are two sets of communal showers - mens indoors, womens outside, so you can shower to your hearts content.

[Trikeman]

Debs,
don't worry,,,,, really.
There are two shower rooms, enough for a rugby team to shower in each,,,,, yep, they have women's rugby there too, scary but true. The two halves of the building are separated by doors that should be locked (so peeping Bertie Bassets can't watch you) - so it's men to the left of the building and women to the right.
Don't panic as all will be OK on the day - steamy but good.

On a more serious note though - the walk back from the balloon nightglows to the site will be in total darkness, so that should be a good laugh for all involved.
Don't forget your torches.

Regards,

Trikeman.

Les's neice plays ladies rugby I'll have you know (or is it football?)

No torches though!!!!! Spoils the atmosphere, the kids thought we were bonkers when we used to have a wander in the New Forest in the dark when they were little Your eyes will adjust naturally

It will probably look more like this on the way back from the nightglows. The blind and the fookarewe tribe being led by the drunken, partially sighted.

Broken Link Removed

Looking back over Bristol from the top of Ashton Court at night is quite a sight though.

Trikeman.

 

[Debs]

@Trikeman

Ah yes, I expect there may be a sighting of the rare fookarewe tribe

 

[LAM]

Really sorry we are going to miss this event. Have tried many times (without a van) and not able to see an assent. Good luck to all

Had I not been pointed in the direction of this post I would have missed it and that would have been a shame because I can say, honestly and without fear of contradiction, that I have skills....Yes I know the earlier photo shows someone who is challenged in so many different ways but fyi.... in advance and for free............no door is locked, no cubicle unwatched and no conversation unheard when Bertie's about. You Better Believe It!
