Just paid my subs so see you all at Uttoxeter.

Not sure about fancy dress, but could manage a silly hat possibly.

Say hello to the newbies please.

Martin

Oh we'll say hello alright, you have obviously not heard about the initiation ceremony then?

catspyjamas · Dec 22, 2013

I shall wear the same hippy outfit as last year. Might as well get my money's worth from it!

IF YOU ARE NOT IN RED WE ARE AWAITING YOUR REPLY TO THE PM WE SENT REGARDING ARRIVAL DETAILS.....

Ok funsters,

If you are on this list above, you should have a PM requesting details for arrivals etc.

Nikki and I look forward to seeing you all over the New Year and can't wait for the fun and frolics to start.

Just a couple of points to remember.

1) Have fun
2) remember, throw some fancy dress from your youth pop era in the van,
3) Have fun
4) make sure you have the beer in the van
5) Have fun
6) make sure you check out the racing post to get your tips, if not, dont panic, I will giove you one.
7) have fun
8) Remember to bring your rally fees .The cost for 4 nights camping, 2 race tickets to the racing (kids go free) all entertainment champagne reception and pig in bap is
£87.90p per van (singles knock the price of a race ticket off £20) this is a rally fee from Sat night to Wednesday morning payable regardless of arrival date. Please remember that extra night for those wishing to stay New years day night, is £9.70...... Of course please less your deposit off. :thumb: and remember this includes, Hall hire, Race Tickets, Mulled wine, Bacon Baps, Sparkling wine reception Janine and Barrie kareoke with me singing, and that you can not put a price on.
9) have fun.
10) your generator if you have one, if not we will work something out with regard battery charging electric etc.... you will not freeze to death... I promise.
11) Have fun

ONE FURTHER NOTE, I WAS ALLOCATED 30 PLACES BUT BEGGED FOR 33 SO I CAN STILL TAKE A VAN OR TWO IF ANY LATE ARRIVALS WISH TO COME. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CHANGES SINCE WE STARTED IN ATTENDANCE PEOPLE DUE TO ALL KINDS OF REASONS. IF YOU KNOW ANYONE AT A LOOSE END THAT WOULD LIKE TO JOIN IN...... PLEASE LET ME KNOW....:thumb::thumb:

quick note people. just to say that we will be in the same area as last year now. I have had to change things due to the weather. This means two things... We will now be all on hard standing and only have to walk a matter of yards accross to the hall where we will be having the entertainment.

last year we had to move a few vans for race day. I hope to avoid that scenario this year as there is fewer of us, but inevitably it may happen for 1 or 2, but it's no big deal..... and it will only be for a few hours. whilst the Gee Gees' race around. :thumb::thumb:

Just tried on the spandex trousers from my Slade days - a big Dave Hill fan.

To my utter surprise, they do not look as good on me know as they did in the 70's Before we get the comments, it could have something to do with the shrinkage of the material during its time in storage

The question I ask is anyone not dressing up in fancy dress gear or do I need to go to the shops? Don't want to be the only funster in normal (if that's what you call me fashion sense today) gear on the big night?

Nigel

Everything else sorted, including generator and petrol:thumb:

Nearly time Funsters... .Below is a link to the race course- Our party will be being held at position number 12 the paddock pavillion--
we will be parked (I think) behind there on the hardstanding (22 A)
this means we will not have to move when we are all parked up.....

Sadly Lyndon can no longer make it and I therefore have 2 places available......for any last minute funsters wishing to party on through the night and in to the New Year........ :RollEyes:

Will I get my FUN flag?
I ordered it back when Jim was on the attendance list :RollEyes:

Nigel&Debbie · Dec 25, 2013

In view of the on going scandals concerning the stars of the 70's, together with the fact that my spandex trousers have shrunk in storage, I have decided to play it safe at this years fancy dress bash.

I was going to go as Rolf with his didgeridoo, but this weeks events have put paid to that. :RollEyes:

As a last resort, and hopefully a safe bet I have dug out the old aran jumper plan to go as Val Doonican. Lets hope he does not get nicked between now and the new year, otherwise I will be really struggling :Smile:

Now frantically searing internet for his songs to learn for the karaoke :Eeek:

That's the spirit :thumb:

I was going as Suzi Quattro but my leather trousers have similarly shrunk in storage so I will be Chrissie Hynde instead.
