Plymouth Volksfest 23rd-26th May

[Shamrockez]

Right, who's going? I'm gonna be booking club camping, so get your name down!

Set in a country park between Plymouth and Darmoor. There's live bands, lots of Dubs, a cruise, kiddies entertainment etc.

Club camping:
Lucy, Steve & Joey

[yellowbug]

We will probably be trading...so normal rules apply, if you go you must come and visit us!!!! :D

Club camping:
Lucy, Steve & Joey
Luke, Gem & Harry

[ff_rabbit]

Is this mainly an aircooled show ??? :confused:

I may even get tempted to go even if it is and prehaps purchase an aircooled too :)

[Shamrockez]

As far as I'm aware, it's an aircooled based show - so it will be like the Bristol Volksfest type of shows :) Watercooled is allowed, but it will be in the minority I would think.

[Blugg]

Looks a bit like Glastonbury with music all weekend :o

No New Beetle ecategory in the S'n'S :(

Commercial
Split
Bay
Beetle
Daily Driver
Other VW
Watercooled Van
Custom (Open to Non-VW's)


Moan moan moan, yeah put me down :laughing:

See they have a Harry category though.......

Best in Show :p

Club camping:

Cheers Luce.
If it is like Bristol volksfest then now doubt it would be a good show. I'll take a butchers at my roster and may give it a go :)
If all goes well with the move then I may have a few quid to treat myself to a new toy :D

[Shamrockez]

Well that's the kinda impression I get - that it will be like that kind of show.

Yeah get a new toy! :D

[Shamrockez]

Right then kiddies - if we want club camping we've got to prebook -

£17 per person for the weekend - cheep as chips!

There's also going to be a massive cruise down - they're hoping to break a record - which sounds like fun! :D More details here: http://s3.excoboard.com/exco/thread.php?forumid=46032&threadid=275789

Anyway - club campers if you want to send me a cheque I'll collect them up and send them all off together, a I'd rather not mess about with paypal and fees etc, so I think cheques is probably the easiest. Plus if they're all to made out to pay the show it won't have to go through my bank and get spent :lol:

This closes on March 1st so I want to send the form off by 25th Feb

[Blugg]

Can you PM me your adress please Luc :)

Also will it be ok to send you a postal order as i don't have a cheque book :o Guess i can still make it out to whoever i need to make it out too though :)

:ghug:

[Shamrockez]

yeah sure Danny - I'll PM you now :)

[virgobugs]

This is local to me and im working all weekend!!! And only 3 minutes around the corner!! how pissed off am I??

[Shamrockez]

throw a sickie! :D

[Dub-Diva]

Yeah, tell them you're going out for lunch and just don't go back hehehe

[virgobugs]

throw a sickie! :D

One problem, Im the boss??
and im working on another event!!!

Our yard is right near Newnham Park.
I will escape on sunday though.........

[Shamrockez]

If you're the boss you can get someone else to do it :D Perks of the job ;)

[Navy Bug]

I haven't decided what I am doing yet. Obviously I will be going to it, being from Plymouth an all! Just not sure if I will be camping yet or not. It could be fun, but I have a nice house 10 minutes away from the site, and the lure of my own bed is pretty strong.

Hmm. Decisions, decisions.

Ah, but do you have the company of the evvo campers at home all night ;) :ghug:

[Shamrockez]

Depends if it's raining :lol:

[virgobugs]

Just a reminder guys, Two weeks to go??
Is evvo doing a club display??

Scott

[Shamrockez]

We have club camping - I dunno if anyone's organised a club display?

[Dub-Diva]

Our club camping tickets might be up for grabs... don't think we can make it since the engine is taking longer than we thought to rebuild.... :(

[1958 Harry]

We have club camping - I dunno if anyone's organised a club display?

I was wondering that the other day???

If not I'll enter Harry into SnS on the Sunday :D

[Snowy]

Our tickets arrived yesterday!!!!! :yay: :party:

[Graham]

We`re not doing this one but I`ve still got the banner and flag - anyone want them ?

[Snowy]

I can get them if you want - in case we do want/need them.

I can pop down and get them from you over the weekend if you are about?

[Graham]

Don`t think we`ll be far away - got friends round saturday night but other than that we should be in. Just give us a call to let us know when you`ll be round.

[Snowy]

That's cool, but will also need to know where you live! :p

drop me a pm with your address as I do not fancy spending the day driving round weston looking for your car!!!! :laughing: :laughing:

[Dub-Diva]

We've not got our tickets yet, but when we do they'll be up for sale :(

If anyone wants to go and couldn't get tickets to club camping then pm me and I'll see if we can transfer them over to you...

[Shamrockez]

We haven't got any tickets yet btw - just incase people were wondering...

[Dub-Diva]

Nope... don't have a boot since the addition of the mahoooosive sub & amp box :laughing::laughing::laughing:

[Shamrockez]

under the bonnet?

[1958 Harry]

It said on the Plymouth Volksfest site the tickets were being posted out on the 8/9th May :)

[Blugg]

Will they go directly to Lucy :confused::)

Or will they come to each person individually :confused::)

Oh and do we need to buy entrance tickets too, or does the camping ticket include the entrance :confused::):ghug:

[virgobugs]

From what I can gather from Chris and Vince the organisers, The tickets only got posted out late last week!!

Word is they went to vanwest last week and sold a **** load of Tickets so by all accounts this should be a good turnout!!

BTW, looks like i'll be working between the two big events going on in Plymouth that weekend!! The hire company I work for are playing a fair part in this one!! So I may be joining club evvo for a jar or two!!

[1958 Harry]

Will they go directly to Lucy :confused::)

Good questions - and I have no idea :laughing: Luce???

[Shamrockez]

Well I can only assume they come to me, otherwise they'll have to stalk you lot to get your addresses ;)

[Dub-Diva]

Our tickets are for the full 4-day access with free camping thrown in... they were posted on 8th/9th May and get sent to the Club Rep that booked them.

Just nicked this off their website, for your information:

Friday 14:00 - 22:00
Saturday 10:00 - 20:00
Sunday 10:00 - 18:00

[Shamrockez]

Still not got the tickets.... I'll PM them on VZi...

We have got Joey running again tho :D Albeit like a bag of spanners :lol:

[Dub-Diva]

Went onto the Plymouth forum yesterday and asked if I am allowed to sell my tickets and the answer is YES... just as long as there's no more than one vehicle and two adults (our space was booked for 1 splitscreen van, 2 adults and 3 children), it's not limited to the EVVO space either as the guy said I could post about the tickets being up for sale on Vzi, but thought I'd give EVVO a chance first. Will put the post up in the For Sale section so I don't clog this...

Lucy, I also posted that you've got no tickets yet and that you'd be pm'ing them on Vzi... hope that's ok.

[Shamrockez]

Ta :) I've PMd them now so hopefully they will reply soon :)

[Blugg]

When are you going up Lucy ?

On friday :confused: :)

[Shamrockez]

Yeah Friday - we'll get there for opening - or do the cruise down - not decided yet :)

[Blugg]

Yeah Friday - we'll get there for opening - or do the cruise down - not decided yet :)

Cool wanted to be there for opening too :)

But is the cruise later on ?

[Shamrockez]

I have no idea tbh. I can't find much about it - or even if it's still happening?

[1958 Harry]

We'll be going down early on Friday - you fancy meeting up and cruising down together Luce? I'm assuming you are going in Joey :)

[Shamrockez]

Assuming we can get him running ok we shall be :D Hopefully it's just the tappets that need readjusting :)

But yeah - sounds good :D Steve did meantion going earlier and stopping off at Trago Mills for a wander round, but even so, I'm sure we can meet you guys somewhere!

[Blugg]

Cheesy Crap :eek: Thinking about it and if it's not too far from the Show, maybe no more than an hour away, i may well be interested in the mills thing :) Be good to add something different to my vocabulary of evvo outings :ghug:

[1958 Harry]

[Shamrockez]

Tickets have arrived!

I have 2 for us, 1 for Blugg, 1 for Luke, 1 for Ray - do you want me to send these out or give them to Luke on his way down (if we don't make it).

[Blugg]

Hopefully you and Steve will be ok to make it :)

But if the worst does happen i'll get you some videos :hug:

I'd prefer to pick mine up from Luke if i may, not sure i trust Royal Mail to deliver in time :rolleyes::laughing:

Hope to see you Lucy, but if not look after Steve and nurse him back to good health :)

[Shamrockez]

Yeah hopefully his back will have recovered by then, but if not, I'll make sure I meet Lukey (or you) somewhere with the tickets. We're only a few mins off the M5 so I can easily pop in to Taunton Deane services with them.

He's on some pretty strong pain killers at the mo and today is quite a bit better than yesterday, so fingers crossed that it continues to get better :)

[Dub-Diva]

and of course giving him plenty of healing kisses on his nose will help loads too :D

[Shamrockez]

Well of course! :D :D :D nose kisses are the best healing aid ever! :D

[Dub-Diva]

If anyone wants to go I have tickets for sale...... £25 for two weekend tickets - which includes free camping :)

[Navy Bug]

Hi Lucy, I think it is a bit late to post my ticket on to me now. I am thinking of arriving sometime friday evening. I have to be in all afternoon waiting for the bloody gas board to turn up (if they do turn up!).

There are a couple of options as far as I can see, unless you have any bright ideas....
1. You stop by my house in Plymouth for a cuppa before going to the site and hand me my tickets.
2. You leave them on the gate addressed to me, or by my car reg no.
3. You meet me at the gate when I arrive and hand them over, if I give you a call first.

Sorry to be a pain, but I have to be in for the gas board, as this will be the third appointment I have tried to get them to keep. They didn't bother turning up to one, and they cancelled the other on the day.

Cheers

Ray

[Shamrockez]

No probs Ray - I've got your number so should be able to sort something out :) If we can't make it (steve's really hurt his back), then I'll make sure your ticket is with Luke and/or Blugg and they'll be able to get it to you somehow :)

[Blugg]

Luke can you PM me your mobile number, if you will have my ticket. :o

I'll be there some time friday afternoon, probably when it opens. But not sure if/what time you'll be there :hug:

[Shamrockez]

We're not gonna be able to make it :( Steve can walk a little, but it hurts a fair bit and probably not the best thing if he's wandering round a showground.

Soo.. Danny - do you want me to meet you on the M5 at Taunton Deane Services (midway between J25 and 26 so I can give you your ticket?

Luke? the same? Doesn't matter if you're both there at different times.

Who wants to take Ray's ticket?

We might be able to make it down for the day on Sunday, but it depends how Steve feels.

:(:( Really SORRY to hear that Lucy :(:(

Hopefully you'll be down on Sunday :)

Can meet at the services as above and don't nind collecting Rays ticket too :) Can you PM me your mobile and we can sort times out :)

[Shamrockez]

Thanks Danny. Most important thing is to get Steve better again :) Saw his doc today and he signed him off work for another 2 weeks, so looks like it's going to be a long process! :( and at the moment the pain killers he's on are just knocking him out, so he's sleeping all the time, and when he's not, he's feeling queesy :(

YGPM

I know how he feels with the painkillers :( I've been taking them for my ear infection since i got back from Stanford hall :( Keep meaning to get anti-biotics but keep forgetting :rolleyes:

I'm hoping the Bulmers will be a good painkiller friday night, if not it'll be no cider for me saturday/sunday and back to the painkillers :(

Hope he gets sorted long before 2 weeks :)

P.S. PM sent ;)

[Snowy]

Really sorry to hear about Steve - hope he gets better soon. Can't imagine sleeping in Joey would help his back much either :eek:.

hope you can make it down on Sunday, as I am sure Geoff would share some of his Thatchers with him (purely for medicinal purposes of course ;) :D ) to help ease the pain.

Can't wait to meet up with the rest of you guys when we get there on sat (and find the club camping).....

Oh, and by the way Luce, geoff said herbie is out of boxes and being painted last time he checked!!!!:D :D :D

[Shamrockez]

Well at least the club camping pitch should have lots of space! I thought ahead and booked an extra space ;) just incase Bella made it, and if not, extra space for everyone - now you have twice the extra space :D

Oooooh - paint!!!! :D :D :D Excellent! Oooh it's so exciting - he must be coming up to being almost finished now?

Aww Danny - you should really get some antibiotics for that - otherwise it's not gonna go away :(

[1958 Harry]

Luce - is it ok if i text u b4 we leave?

[Shamrockez]

Yeah sure. Lemme know when you pass Weston and I'll leave. Meet at Taunton Deane services? What sorts time do you think you'll be there?
