This weekend meeting has been organised by club member Stuart Coates in conjunction with the Bongo Owners North East Facebook group and is open to Bongo Fury members. It will be held at Park Foot Caravan & Camping Park by Ullswater in the Lake District.

Standard electric hook ups in the Lakeside field are £30 per night, non-electric pitches (in the field next door) are £25 per night. A 50% deposit is payable at the time of booking with the balance payable 2 weeks beforehand. Mention “Mazda Group” when you book.

Full terms and conditions (including supplements) on their website.

OOoh, will have to make that! Used to go up there in my childhood now to repeat in my Dotage

Here's an update from Stuart Coates:

"Ok, it's getting closer and there's been a change of plan. Just called Park Foot to confirm numbers and due to ongoing works in Eusrigg field they have moved bookings to Fellside field. Anyone with hook up will need to book Sandall field or stay in Lakeside. You can call to move booking but they are going to send me an email with a link.
Sorry but out of my control."

The weekend is upon us, if you are turning up, it may be worth mentioning to reception that you are part of the Mazda Bongo group so that we are all relatively close together.
I'll not be there until after 5 as working unfortunately.
Weather is looking great, which makes a change for The Lakes!
Takeaway on site is open I have been told and restaraunt on site is open and you can book a table online.
Jeff knox, white 02 Bongo with side lifting roof is arranging a walk in the morning, ticking off a couple of Wainwrights if anyone wants to join, Should be an easy walk but options to turn back at any point.
Hopefully we have singer Joe Wallace joining us on Saturday night to do a few songs with his guitar, graet singer who does small venues all over the North East.
Shaping up to be a great wekend, looking forward to see a few faces I normally only see at he National Bash.

See you later! beep Beep!

I'm on site on EHU just below the non-EHU site up the hill! Nice views up here; I'm on pitch 157.

How was the turnout.?
Sadly couldn’t make it this time..

Not sure on total numbers as the site had to change the field that was to be used and hence a lot of people ended up scattered across the site. There were 5 visible to me in EHU slots, but the non-EHU over the back had I believe around 20 or more but they were up the hill behind me and my creaky knees wouldn't take me up the slope!

Well done folks
