Chester Food and Drink Festival 2022

[Drexxer]

Here's wishing Redframe a speedy recovery

 

[Carol]

Well our Chester meet is getting some twists and turns poor RedFrame unfortunately had an accident on his motorbike yesterday and spent the night in hospital, he has hurt his head broken 3 or 4 Ribs and damaged his arm amongst other things and as you know he is the Rally Officer for this meet, he says he will still be coming but he won't be his usual mobile self.
with 100 Vans attending the rally I would be grateful if a few could volunteer to help with the parking and maybe a bit of booking in work because as most of you know I can't walk far and Janine shazanddave could do with a bit of help occasionally if you could post or pm me any help it will be very appreciated, the main thing of course is that Red is all right.
Thank you Carol

Just thought I'd pop this to the top of the page for information.

 

[Chod Jacqui]

Let's all wish him a speedy recovery.

 

[shazanddave]

Hi Red we hope you are feeling better soon.

Carol - I’ve just re-read your post. The offer of help is still there, but you probably won’t want me parking anyone up …..

(I was rather hoping for an impromptu jam with Janine in between booking in instead…)

No 25. Forgot to say I’m on electric as well

Thanks for letting us know, Carol, and for the tip about water. We don't normally travel with a full tank, so that's really useful, though I do like a walk with a watering can!

Not sure what we'll do on Monday - I suspect a lot of people will try to squash into the Roodee parking. We'd originally planned to stay in the area to visit friends but they've told us they'll be in France, so we may just go home a bit early to prepare for our next trip.

Whatever happens it's not an issue. Thanks again.

Tony & Kirsty

I've only just seen your other post about RedFrame. Hope he gets well again quickly.

I could help with parking or booking in. We will be driving from Essex, though, and getting there to be 'on duty' around 2pm will be a stretch, unless we do the Roodee on Wednesday. Happy to do that if it's any help.

Thank you so much, I think we could be alright for parking up on Thursday now as I have had some kind offers on PM'. It could be helpful though with a hours help on Friday
Poor Red is pretty drugged up at the moment so I'm doing what I can and fingers crossed he may be able to tell us what he has organised from his chair, that he is alright is the main thing.
Thank you.

Thank you.

I will come and see if you need any help. I cannot walk far as my left hip is bad but am sure there are things I could do.

 

[Van42]

What time can we drive off site on the Monday afteroon? I see on the Camperfest site itinerary in 2019 (2022 not up yet) it says 1600-1900 departure time... do we have to wait until 4pm before being able to drive off site...? Ideally I would like to be off site and away by 3pm. Thanks.

 

[Carol]

Van42 No you can go any time you wish to leave to suit you

I know this isn’t technically about the Festival, but those people who are going on to Jim’s meet from Chester - where are you staying in between?

We’re from Bath, so won’t be going home! Not sure where to stay for the three nights.

Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

Crikey I didn’t mean to stir up an already opened can of worms Stephen!

I was wondering if anyone was staying over at Rutland Water.

I would have thought Rutland/Peterborough was overshooting Sutton On Sea from Chester .
How about somewhere like Clumber Park?
Or maybe Uttoxeter Race Course?

I managed to get a couple of nights each at Chatsworth and Poolsbrook CAMH sites.

It’ll be 4 nights as we gave to vacate Chester on Monday instead of the normal Tuesday.

 

[Wendo55]

cliffanger At least 3 of us solos are going to Uttoxeter Racecourse from Monday (now we can't stay until Tuesday) until Friday, then on to Jim's at Newark. It's about half way.

GOOOOOOOOOOOD MOOOOORNIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG Carol

pinkgin has booked us in, we will be arriving after work on Thursday.

We will be in the new bus. No Electric.

If you need help parking a few vans up I can certainly give up a couple of Hours on Friday to give all those with bad hips and knees a hand.

RedFrame sorry to hear about your off mate, hope you are back to yourself soon.

 

[WESTY66]

We will be in the new bus.

That’s great news Paul, are you going to spill the beans in a new thread??
See you there

 

[LesW]

We will be in the new bus.

Ooh.. Will you be doing guided tours?
