Rally Swaffham Shindig (formally the Thetford Bash )

[Nanniemate]

Why don’t you call in at a camp site to drop your load off. Better still ask at one of the FLT pubs you’ve been frequenting of late. I’m sure they wouldn’t be averse to you running your pipe/macerator into the gents.

Try a bus company they often have drive over toilet drops night staff usually happy for a bonus

 

[Chocy boy]

Looks like your on bucket duty Simmon

It will have to be a big one.

 

[Badknee]

I have passed on the details but I guess the person changed their minds.. I will put you back on the top of the list mate

Thanks John.

 

[Riverbankannie]

Is that the Caravan Club site??? We have the rare luxury for once of arriving late Wednesday....

Yes it is.

 

[Nanniemate]

Yes it is.

Gosh look like everyone is going posh I'll be by the canal with the swans if I can remember where the spot was it was lovely

If you arrive first, see if the lovely marshals will let you save a couple of spaces by you for us and the NutrockerPats.

 

[Silver-Fox]

What about pulling into motorway services to dump

Homebargains do a perfectly lager sized carried bag for cassettes , a friend told me and Aust services (M48old M4) have a door direct to the loos from the garage area so you dont have to walk through the building ...so I have been told oh and there parking right by the door if its heavy

 

[Emmit]

After a week working like a crop sharer to get the garden sorted before next week, I find I have a surplus of Runner Bean plants (14) and a couple of pots of Beetroot seedlings.

I tried to give them away on our local F/B page but my entry was declined as its not allowed to either sell or even give stuff away?????? (who knew? )

Here it comes. Is there anyone at 'The Bash' who would like to have these.
If not, I won't bother bringing them.

 

[Nanniemate]

Bring them Broken Link Removed will auction them or drop them off at the local primary school must have veg patches now

If that %£&*@ candle can be auctioned and has yet to go up in flames a few teeny greeny things must be an easy sell.

I has non green fingers so I'm not bidding

 

[cruiser]

Yes please. And I will top up jaws pot.

Those lovely Marshalls will be very busy. Last year there were queues to get signed in.
The Marshall parking people was very overworked.
May I suggest you arrange to meet up before arrival? or be willing to wait in the arrival area until others arrive then sign in together.

Didn’t know about arrivals area. That sounds like a plan, thanks.

 

[Larby]

Well not really an arrivals area but out the way of where the queuing takes place

I know but the original original post said 24th May. Just checking

 

[denisejoe]

I just assumed it would be 3pm on 25th same as originally posted - maybe shouldn't have assumed! No doubt John (Jaws) will confirm shortly!

I can understand the marshals being busy with a queue at that time.

Cos nearly all the ones around here you can’t get near the effin Elsan , load of bollox, I have a plan, I’ve bought 260 demijohns and am brewing some shit beer, for sale cheap

 

[meanders]

I believe it's 3pm arrivals but John Jaws will confirm. At 3pm last year folks were queuing out onto the road so please spread your arrival times.

Also please remember that if you have a long overhang, or a Toad, you need to go past the entrance from the town side, turn around and approach up the hill or you will ground badly when turning into the entrance.

 

[Jaws]

Yup, 3pm on the Thursday

Can anyone recommend a reasonable sized car park in Thetford Forest for a couple of Motorhomes to loiter for a few hours please? Went to Bawsey Park last year but coming from the opposite direction so not quite as practical

 

[Langtoftlad]

What's the pitching plan?
Earliest arrivals in the furthest corner of the field - or prime location closest to the club house?

There looks to be several places dotted around The forest, looking on Google Earth. I'm coming up from St Neots CCC and as a member of National Trust looking at either Wicken Fen or the Wimpole Estate so I can walk my dog Muffie

Great idea until you have more vans in the sign in area than parked it also depending on individual plans work ,distance travelled, road traffic and weather conditions I followed the instructions last year on time of arrival and the site was nearly full as many had turned up early always feel for the marshalls they do work hard

At present I don't know what day I'm heading east let alone eta.

I used s4s lSt year and found a lovely stop just past the original Thetford location in the forest with a cafe lake and free parking

If I ran a rally, anyone turning up before the gates open time would be turned away, or as Langtoftlad said I'd put them on the less desirable pitches.

It's so disrespectful to ignore the event organisers and in this day and age, with satnav and Google maps there's no excuse.


Cheers
