Possible October meet near factory site

Evening fellow commerades

Following chats at martin's meet, and the lack of any clear meetings set up for the rest of the year, I have looked into organising a meet down south for a weekend in October, probably any other that the weekend of the 6th/7th.

The proposed venue is in ivinghoe, Buckinghamshire, which is where I live. In the village there is stood campsite that would more than accommodate as many of us who wanted to turn up. The facilities are excellent, and even has a child play area, fire pit hire, and although listed as a family site, has a field for the use of groups away form the quiet area. The down side is there are limited hook ups, and they are away from the group field. However, I might be able to organise a generator for the weekend to power beer cooling facilities. The camp site can be viewed here

Obviously, the is a charge for the use of the site, and these are per the tariffs on the web page. Unfortunately he doesn't do discounts. :(

As part of the lure of the event, I will organise a run on one of the days over to the lovely town of Dunstable, where we can all go on pilgrimage to the location where all of our lovely vans were produced - although there is now nothing much to see.

So, how many people would be interested in coming to this little gathering?

Cheers

Andy

I just wish to point out I can see there are several errors in the text that I cannot go in and edit as the site never lets you edit initial posts. Anyway, I blame the iPad for the poor spelling.

Clarabel would like to come to this as I spent many happy years in the early 1970's teaching engineering to students who nearly all ended upon apprentiships in the Luton/Dunstable car factories or parts divisions. The family bought Clarabel in 1979 ,but I never visited the factory. I don't know whether you have considered the last weekend in October- It's half term up here and probably in other parts of the country (BST ends on the 28th) Having it on this weekend might open up access to more families who may also wish to stay over. Ivinghoe is a lovely part of the country -do I remember a beacon? I would like to come but some weeekends are busy -if it was half term weekend it's possible that all of Clarabel and Co could come and make a holiday of the meet -we could visit some old haunts- Hazel was born in Bedfordshire. Good luck with the organisation. Mike ( Hazels Dad)

Baz and I were chatting earlier, and we were thinking that we could do it on the last weekend in October, and have a Halloween theme?

When we have a little clearer idea of numbers I'll sort out the reservations with the site owner. If there are not going to be large numbers. Then the hook ups won't be an issue. As things stand it looks like there is only going to be the hardcore meet people there.
