i don't usually comment on these threads, but i think i should.

I went to the first meet at the Lakes, i went with my old Senator i prepared for a Euro road trip, had a fantastic time, it was the first time i meet Daz, Pete, Brucie and loads of others.

It was much more of a 'central' feel there, we all camped were told too, and had big sit downs in the evenings all together, and just chatted about various things (as you do with beer involved)

I agree with Daz (Loo-Knee) in the split that seamed to occur.

I was very gratefull for the help in putting my tent up, with the extra lights too  

Once the tent was up, a large group of familiar looking faces turned up, and the usual the sit around, beer drinking and talking about anything sparked up.

For me, there was a separate group on the other side of the site, playing very loud music until the very early hours. For me, the music was too loud, a lot of people had familys and very loud music and shouting until 2am was not called for.

This meet seamed to have a very different feel, which is a shame.

I hope with the next one, the stereo systems can be left where they belong, and have more of a complete gathering.

i agree about the music and that till gone past 2am
it did wake my kids up

i think it was all coming from the main big tent not sure as i ended up in bed with my 2 boys to cuddle them back to sleep with all the noise going on

obviously some people like to have music, which does not bother me, but i think it should have been turned off around 10:30

Nick at the first Lakes there was a few month old baby taken and not a sole said a thing, most of us have had children.
If the music had caused you a problem you should of asked them to turn it down.

Should have found me, i am 24 got no kids and found the music too loud and too late. I would have asked them!

Then again i do drive an old mans car

Nick I think you will find that if you keep yourself to yourself and don't mingle with other people they aren't going to come running in to see you.
your tattooing equipment at home and joined in with the rest youYou say you were busy all day doing tattoos, maybe if you had left  would have felt a little less isolated.
With it being a car club meet and not a tattoo convention I expect many members may not be that interested in tattoos but show an interest in watching or helping other members to do work on their cars.

The quiz was hardly a guarded secret seeing as TB put a post up announcing it last week.

Thats my opinion too, i joined in and was helping to do a cambelt.

No Tony mate, you did it and good on ya

Thanks, i enjoyed it and i think the majority of the people there did too, also i give credit to Ian for doing all that work.  

The tattoo was for me and only took a couple of hours to do as I asked Nick if I could have one done thats why he brought it along. It would have been done on the friday but we had started to drink all afternoon into the evening so it couldn't be done thats why it was done on the saturday.

it would only have started to bother me if i couldn't get the boys back to sleep

i would of gone out and asked for it to be a bit quieter if i didnt get the boys back to sleep
but as me getting in bed with them got them to sleep i left it at that

As I remember on the Friday there were two tents, one with music and one without, joined together for a more socialable gathering on Saturday and Sunday evening.

not sure about that
i only know that ian-d put some music on in the big white tents

[Marks DTM Calib]

Lol, the Vauxhall dealers sadly didn't have the parts (they dont seem to stock much up that way!).

All was sorted in the end though and hopefuly Mick can get the correct discs sorted

[tmx]

not many stealers seem to have many mig parts on the shelf!

everytime i visit my local dealer mostly everything has to come from cheltenham! atleast its same day if i order before 9am

they only keep oil filters and other little bits they did have a HBV when i urgently needed one and fair play to them they helped me a great deal

On Friday night there was one tent with music and one tent without.
I would think that those that wanted some music went to one tent and those that wanted a quiet drink and a chat the other.
