Anyone going to send them some pix, and a script, to get the Bongo meet added to the online "Wookey News" page http://www.wookey.co.uk/news.htm? Glad "a good time was had by all" (headline for item?).

Thanks all for such a great week end, just to let you know we have arrived home safe and sound, the combo of pain killers and a kip at Exeter services sorted me out. As usual the weather was kind to us and thanks Geoff for picking a great location, Wookey was well worth the visit.
Thanks Chris&Gem for a constant supply of hot water for tea, and the hot water bottle. It was great to meet up with Jenny & Haydn, Mike & Sue at Wookey. Looking forward to meeting up with you all on our return from Canada,
Dave and Roseanne

Nice pics...

Just a shame that our highly pimped passion wagon wasn't there to show that billabongo crazy bloke how to REALLY customize a van what with no stickers needed and our new woodburning fireplace :lol: :lol: :lol: :roll:

Great to meet you all even though our Saturday night was cut short by me coming down fast with a heavy cold :( and both of us suffering from the after effects of the previous evening galavanting around the pubs of Bath.

See you all soon...

Looks like you all had a really great weekend, and the weather was so kind. We would love to have been there but other commitments got in the way. Superb piccies, love the ones of the convoys!!

Yep, I concur - a great day out! We only attended the Caves on Sunday, but lovely to see such a great turnout.
Respect to those hardy souls who camped out Sat night - bit too cold for us old un's!!

A few pics of the day:- (click to enlarge)

Had to include this one, taken in the glorious sunshine after our trip into the bowls of the Earth - Sue managed a bit of decorum, as befits her age - but Roseanne was having none of it - and insisted on the full Monty! Dave was so knackered after all the bending in the Caves he just sat and enjoyed the show!!

Hi all thanks for a great first Bongo meet for me and Sue, it more than lived up to expectation what a great bunch of people we can't wait for the next one, I've put a link to some piccies taken by us, some of them taken on Saturday night while copius amounts of alchol were being consumed :oops: so they are a bit shakey to say the least but enjoy anyhoo, glad everybody got home safely a big thanks to Geof and Sue for the organization and to Crazy Kerry and Scully for the convoy up there
