Hello BFB and all fellow Bongo-ers.
This is my first post - please be gentle with me(

)

I/we have taken the plunge & now plan to take our '97 2WD AFT around to boldly go, meeting new and alien races - such as some of the folks on this forum

!

We are hoping to get along to this meet at lunchtime Saturday. Although there are no places left, we'll be staying Saturday night at Blackland Lakes ( http://www.blacklandlakes.co.uk ) about 15 miles away.

As both Emma & I are keen windsurfers, we have called our Bongo "Tiki", after the Hawaiian god of fair wind & good fortune

. Hence the little symbols we will be adding later.

Hope to meet you all soon!
Paul & Emma
(& 11 month-old Imogen

)

Kerry keeps muttering something about more Bedding, more Duvets, more blankets, more pyjamas, a BIG heater & a hot water bottle

,

But I keep telling her, I have already loaded the Bongo with all the essentials for Mrs D`s party, Stella, Becks, Cider, Wine - red & white
& Gin & Tonic.
I just can`t get any more in
Whats wrong with her

Just done a Tesco run for beer and wine to add to the 4 flagons of cider we got from the farm on Saturday

hic

But don't forget the umbrella and wellies - weather doesn't look as though it's going to be kind to us.

See you all Friday (or Saturday/Sunday for those coming later)

Mrs. D

I`ve never seen it rain in my beer tent yet

And push comes to shove there`s nothing like a drop of real ale in a country pub after a brisk walk in the wood

We're bringing the wellies and brolly to get to your beer tent, Crazy!!!

Hopefully, we'll be there for a few hours on Saturday afternoon, round about 2.30 ish. See you folks there.

Packed the trailer already, wasn't going to bother with the awning, but having seen the forecast

It'll be a good test for it anyway

Wasn't sure whether to pack the factor 25?

See you guys there on friday, probably about lunchtime, so have the kettle on

Called in last night for a couple of hours and great it was to

Sorry to say we took the rain with us and it started pouring as soon as we arrived but soon cleared up.

we were pleased to put a few faces to names and meet new people

met Misfixit (or don't play with fire, Kirsty)
Bob
Simon
Bongoozler
Violet
and others my memory fails
and Hayden (Both)and Crazy we already knew

would have liked to have stuck around longer to meet others but not possible.

I looked a great site and location and I know all will have a great weekend

Rest of the West Mini-Meet

Looking forward to this!
