Wincanton Meet 21st June

Post Wed Jun 11, 2008 8:27 pm

A bit late I know, but I thought this was being sorted by Iain. Only a week and a half to go, so I decided to at least start something, so we know who's interested.

As far as I know so far, this will be held at the Hunters Lodge Inn, obviously in Wincanton, it claims a carpark for 100 cars, hopefully this will be full. Anyone with more info, please feel free to post it. Cheers.

I'll be at this one but i'll be on a mates stand so i'll see you all there.

It's free to show your car, you can camp over Saturday night when there's a live band and the show starts at 10am on Saturday morning. That's all the info i've been given.

Oh the directions i've been given are if you're coming on the A303 and heading towards London take the Gillingham exit, turn left at the junction and the pub should be about 300 yards on the right

Bomber has said that the organisers are not responding to him and that this year he is going to go on foot only and not have an organised section of BMWs.

So anyone can go independently but it looks like a quiet one this year.

So, not worth it then, or still a good day out?

It was shite last year, completely forgot this year. Not really a patch on what was the Yeovil Show.

Yet again, South West events ruined by a pandemic of apathy within the region.

Oh well, roll on Sherborne then.

Send me a text the day before, I haven't got a clue what day of the week it is at the moment.

Oh sh*t, I have to REMEMBER something...?

Looks like I won't be seeing you there then mate...

(I will put a reminder alarm in my phone to text you.
It's July 20th by the way...

I went to the show at the weekend. What a disappointment! I was supposed to be on a mates stand but the marshals didn't have a clue about any stands. There wasn't really any point anyway when there was only 14 cars on Saturday, but maybe that was due to the weather. Camping overnight was an experience the weather was rough as. Sunday had a better turnout probably managed 40 cars! The tractor pulling wasn't too bad when it was running and there was a lot of those little petrol water pump things. A big issue was that the pub had a monopoly of the food and entertainment so there wasn't a lot of choice. It was only the first year though so maybe it will grow bigger and better.

There was a K reg red cabby there with beige leather. Is this a zoner?
