Already looking forward to the Cornish cider and pasties in Looe.. see you there.

[Bongolian]

Hey Ian (I’m unable to PM you as that option shows as ‘disabled’ for your account).

We’ve booked for the Looe meet but have received no details as yet, I think you were going to be post them.
Have I missed them, or can you assist/update.

An email with the info would be fine.

Cheers, Mick

[Ian]

Hi Mick, you will get the info by email tomorrow.

[g8dhe]

Yup I'm booked in direct at Looe as well so will see you all there.

[Bongolian]

Have received the meet details now, thanks Ian.

I note there’s no planned ‘events’, but wondered if there might be an opportunity for an informal ‘knowledge sharing’ session.?
I’m guessing I may not be alone in being relatively new to Bongo’s, so any chance to get info and Top-Tips from ‘the experts’ would be appreciated.


Cheers, Mick
P.S - yes, see you there g8dhe

[Ian]

Hi Mick. By my count at least 9 of those attending don't actually own Bongos, although most did own one at some point! Having said that, although nothing is organised, we could all meet up for an informal session in the bar on Saturday night to share our experiences.

[Bongolian]

All packed and ready to roll for BongoFest South West in Looe tomorrow, weather looks (mostly) promising, see you there folks.
Safe travels

[Bongolian]

Hey Ian, wanted to thank you for your efforts in organising events (I know other have also so thanks to them too).
Enjoyed meeting your good self and few other Bongo Barmpots

[g8dhe]

Seriously ? Have you looked at the road clearance on any of the Bongo's at best its 6" - 7" the 4WD diesel will have the best maybe 7"- 8" depending if its original suspension.

CleopatraParker you haven't said what type of vehicle you have? Have you done much travelling in it? Which countries do you visit?
