Not Going to Newark? Read this.

[haganap]

Right first things first.

Some of us have been left behind.

So lets start by saying all the things that we are going to be looking forward to this weekend. All those wonderful things we are going to be doing.

I mean,,

Newark, pah! what's there?

I mean who want's to travel all the way over to that part of the world anyway? To get there you have to drive through Nottingham from here, and that all ways poses a risk of getting shot.
And then what's going to be there waiting for you?

Yeah great a load of motorhomers getting drunk and having fun... Like,,, I need to be getting drunk and having fun?

Trust me brothers and sisters, you are far far better staying at home and fulfilling all the meaningless tasks that we will be doing this weekend.

Look at that Grass, Talking to you, isn't it, cut me cut me, its shouting at you.

Then there's Morrison's begging you to shop their.

Yeah, who needs to spend the weekend wondering around a field over there, laughing, joking, soaking up the sun, showing your new motorhome toy off.

No not me



Balls to it all I say, I am going to be having much more fun sat at home :Blush::Blush::Sad:


Still have a terrible time those that have gone, and I don't expect one single it was great story.


Still, if you are in Liverpool and fancy something to do at the crack of dawn, you could come and watch the Liverpool 1/2 marathon, whereby Mr Haggers, will be pounding the pavements for good causes,

What you up to?

Well we will be having FUN at Newark, so you will all be missing out!!

As for Nottingham, I have lived in Nottingham for most of my life, and not had any trouble or shootings, so don't be afraid to visit Nottingham and Robin Hood, & Nottingham Castle.

 

[JayDee]

We'll be going on a group walk tomorrow morning and then in the afternoon finishing up the job of sorting out the garden pond. In the evening I'll be down the Village Hall shooting the first couple of rounds of the NSRA Light Sporting Rifle National Postal Team Competition.
Saturday, not sure - it promises to be a bit miz down here in Devon, so might do something really intersesting like tidy the office. :Sad:
Sunday I'll be at the shooting field practising my Field Target - I did abysmally at last Sunday Regional Comp. - definitely lack of practice. oh:

Next week we'll be getting the MH ready for its first trip out this year; going to Wales and meeting up with Nearly Retired on Thursday for a couple of weeks.

So there's quite a lot of good stuff happening quite soon. :thumb:

Its weekend at home time at our house.
Though Isabel and I will be hitting the shops on Saturday , lots of nice summer clothes in now
Ralph is going to the airport with Jacob checking out the planes, taking Isaac and his BMX so he can jump the mud ramps with all the other bmx'rs at the view point.
Saturday evening Ralph and I will be going out for a meal and then back to Our village club. Its been newly renovated and has a great atmosphere . We dont have to get a babysitter now so its great. We leave the kids alone , and as long as we bring them home a big bag of monstermunch they are happy
Sunday , Ralph and my( gas fitter :thumb uncle are fitting a proper outside BBQ point on the motorhome.
Im going to wander Newmillerdam woods with the dogs and kids for a few hours then cooking Roast beef n Yorkshire puds for a late lunch.
We've never even been to a caravan or motorhome show. Never fancied one , though if it were to be with MHF it would be like a big meet and shopping , so we may have to try and get to one.

What you up to?

Sorry, not for us...

We'll be out cycling with Chaz and enjoying the beautiful Suffolk coast .. might squeeze in a spot of sea fishing .. then have a barbie. :thumb:

 

[Scout]

so lets see,

work today, night wedding invite tonight, double shift tomorrow at work , carpit fitters comming tomorrow to replace kitchen carpit which I knacked by droping a "fish boneing knife throught my foot" and bled everywhere like mony python (more money spent),

then dinner at friends sat night cause they forgot my birthday (whooo free boozze),

up very early sunday for the Austrailian Griand Prixriving2:riving2:riving2:

paa who needs newark.............we'd only buy stuff we dont need or have the capacity to carry in m/h

 

[Pat4Neil]

We are going 2-3 miles down the road and staying at the Kelvedon Hatch CCC with our local DA.

Its free, with hardstanding and EHU, only catch is that its countrycare weekend. So we have to do some work on Saturday around the site. I wont be working much, whats new you may ask. I hopefully will be on the catering side of things and making tea and coffee for the workers.

Even though supposedly a work weekend we will have a marquee up and have lots of fun. With a group lunch too.

Neil is up in London tonight for a drink up so going away local means we can still get away.

Would have like to have been at Newark, but have no money to spend on the diesel let alone buying things at the show that we dont need.

Although it is a great get together of FUNSTERS. Have fun!

yeah Like I would be worried about 70 grumpy old motorhome fun men chasing me round Newark, pah, they would never catch me for a start, they would probably be too drunk and Im too fast

[HI][STRIKE]did i really say that [/STRIKE][/HI]

However, the 70 beautiful motorhome funster ladies? well, they would have no problem catching me, after all I would slow down for them :smalllove: :lipstick::blonde2:

 

[Wildman]

I shall be sitting around someplace at my smallholding, supping beer, sowing seeds, weeding, empire building and watching the world go by, whilst Southern Water Board, dig up a neighboring field to find out how they managed to switch my water off. In the mean time the lazy buzzard will be circling overhead looking for Rabbits, hares will dart from view whenever he passes over and the small birds start collecting grass and horsehair to make this years nests. Holiday makers start to make their way to woolacombe, passing my gate, the motorhomers all waving as they do so. (when I am taking a morning coffee break in my motorhome that is, hee hee.)

After too much beer and fun do I really want to wake up surrounded by 50,000 people looking at motorhome spares and accessories? Hmm maybe not - I'll take the quiet road :Cool:

Does anyone else feel this post needs reporting?

 

[slobadoberbob]

As I cannot go now

As we had to pull out at the last moment.. sues work commitments .. Blasted wasted money.. Even the tickets sent to another MHF member did not reach him in the post.

So tomorrow Sue is doing the last bits of shopping with our daughter for our trip to the South of France in early April. The RV is ready to roll as it was ready for Newark... The only bright side is I am not making the petrol companies more money for the long round trip from Tunbridge Wells to Newark... Plus as said earlier I can do without the bullet holes in the body work:Blush:

Other than Sue doing the shopping, I think it is going to be a quite weekend.

...nice and sunny in the garden just now.. Been sitting out side with a coffee instead of hauling on a Friday up the M25/M11 etc., But I will miss the beer and all our friends.

Oh well some of have to go away in the week when it is sun was shining it was difficult but we went to Bwyt-y-coed and rambled along the banks of the Dee past beautiful little waterfalls and though quiet forests not seeing a soul, sitting on fallen trees and listening to the birds singing, then we forced our selves to go to Bala lake and explore there amazing to see how high it had been after the flood, oh then we went to Llandudno and had a wander around there in the sun, that was hard work.

The week end will be difficult with OH chilling watching the grand prix and I'll potter in the garden, but I bet it won't be long before them wheels need turning again.

 

[JJ]

Aftering racing my way up France I am calling in on my friends (and Funsters) Mel (aka Vicarious Books' top photographer) and his child bride Christine... I haven't told them when I am arriving otherwise Christine will go to the trouble of cooking me a huge meal like the last time I was there with Smudger.

Is that how busy it gets I never realized .
I think we will stick to the regular fun meets and shopping for motorhome bits n bobs online.

 

[DBSilverfox]

I am prone to exaggerate but you get the picture

 

[Ven]

We started our full-timing adventure at Newark two years ago, the Fun rally was our very first stop and first rally! Met some lovely people, wish we could be there this year.

Mind you we are at the aire in Mortagne sur Gironde where the sun is shining so we definitely cannot complain A great place to watch our first grand prix of the year.
