I guess thats where I will be too? As im not with a club - I just ain't had the time this year to join either ABS or another club who are part of the VBOA :-/

My plan is to take the caravan down Friday mid day ish, and stay till Sunday afternoon.  :y

Idealy I would like to know if there will be a few of us camping together in a little group, as I was thinking about getting an electric hookup (which may mean im in a different area/field? not sure on their layout) - BUT if theres a few of us going I will do without! ;D

PS - I've got a fridge in the van which will be on, and anyone from OOF is welcome to stick some of their booze in it (depending on free space as its not that big!) if they want.  :y

will be there with ABS, although not camping. am currently doing saturday and depending on how much stuff i get cleared at home this weekend might end up driving back over on the sunday. not a huge distance from here to be honest so can make the decision on the day if needs be. might even convince mrs ilovemyelite to head over on the sunday too...

serek is heading over with me on the sat so should be a few oofers there  :y

The club needs to be a member of the VBOA, which means paying, and there are certain criteria for clubs who wish to join.........as this is a free site/forum we don't meet some of the criteria if I remember correctly.............or would mean member's need to start paying. You are just as easy to join ABS camp up with them, great bunch of lads, and omega's are always welcome :y

aces, was a great show, good to see so many quality motors there even if the autojumble didnt live up to expectation (that said, i still managed to find a fair few bargains while i was there...)

took loads of snaps, will post some pics in the gallery section in due course...

highlights included a host of outstanding calibras and serek contemplating rebranding his omega with massive BEDFORD badges hahaha  ;D
