I'm out now, so you guys need to make sure you write down the right postcode for the convoy

Been let down on payment for a job, so no funds available .

Dam, that's a shame dude. I enjoyed playing 'follow the van' last year.
So if you and Lee aren't coming, does this still mean we have clubstand space?
As far as I can tell, it's first-come-first-served on where the actual clubstands are positioned, but do we have to let them know what club we are when we enter?

And is there going to be any issues for those who are meeting us there?
I know the gates for the showground close at 10am, so they need to be there before that.

I'm still definitely going, so i'm quite happy to get to Brampton at 6am and lead everyone to DC if they're cool with that.

So i've updated the list with the cars so we know who/what to wait for at Brampton, and who/what to expect to join us at the showground.
Is this now up to date?

Brampton Hut
Matty (E46 M3)
Stampers (E36 328i)
Lupton (MK4 1.8T)
Curtis (MK4 TDI)
Alpha (?)
Jimmy (118D)
Possibly Iain from Ikustoms (?)
G60SG (MK2 G60)
s-Jay1 + 1 car (MK2 & Lupo)


Meet There
Cupcake (Polo Breadvan)
Luke (Rado)
Whittle (Rado - possibly)
tomstanforster (?)
Adam (E46 Compact)
Dan (E30 - possibly)


Let me know if I've missed anything/anyone out.
And please let me know if i've missed your car off the list or it has a (?) next to your name (just so I can tell if we're missing anyone in the convoy).

I remember playing catch up after i stopped to drop the kids off...pretty much top speed of the van to catch up and just caught up with you guys for the slip road to the show

Yep you still have a clubstand space. I asked for the same as we had last year right by the entrance to the show field. Just mention the fendubbers plot when you arrive and they will direct you where to go

i should be coming in a mk1 cab followed by my uncles 911 we may make the 6am meet yet will keep you updated

Im still game for this! see you guys bright and early!

6am jeeeeeeeeez s**t the bed

Hi Becca

Sorry Lads going to have to let the team down! Was really looking forward but something has come up.

Defo in if theres a convoy to inters next sunday?

Change of plan, still want two spaces but Luke bailed to go to the mighty Stanceworks clubstand and his friend wants the space for his Audi if that's alrighty :]

last minute bail from me, cant make it anymore.... hope its a good one though!

Ok, so as the show is tomorrow, I thought I'd run through the list one last time.
This just means we know how many people are convoying and how many people are joining us later.

Directions
I've mapped out the route on Google Maps from Brampton Hut in case anyone gets lost or needs to know the way back.
I've also made sure it misses out the village of Whitfield as the event organisers would rather the traffic didn't pass through the village.

Directions from Brampton Hut to DC11

Details
If you get to the gates a bit later than the convoy, best thing to do would be to tell the attendants you are on the FenDubbers clubstand.
That should mean you'll get sent through to the rest of the club.
If not, there is plenty of extra space in the secondary showfield that is on the opposite side of the tarmac/runway.
Weather's set to be a good one (hopefully I can be bothered to clean/detail my car on site! Bloody rain...).

If you get lost from the convoy, are running late, or don't know where the clubstand is feel free to give me a buzz.
I'll have my mobile on all day, the number is: 07540 354013. Just ask for Antony (Stampers).



Anyway, see you all tomorrow!

Luptons never been coming, whys he on the list


Ill be convoying down with you lot but been asked if ill go on the BMWowners stand so might do that, ill see when i get there.

Few last minute bailers? What happened to everyone that was meant to meet at Brampton?


Anyone see that idiot in the corsa? insomnia got the best of me so I thought I'd go see who turned up nice cars guys!

Me and joe was at Brampton from 6 till half past and only 2 other people turned!


Just got home, was alright but think I was too tired to really enjoy it.

should have come to Volksfest buddy, RWYB the M3

gutted i missed this now, completely failed going to pick up a ferrari with my old man...

Did you even have a clubstand? The guy at the front didn't know who you were or where you were? We ended up just parked up the back end somewhere haha!

I missed the convoy by 45mins.
The guy at the entrance didn't have a clue when I got there (and there wasn't many cars there at all at that point) but 2 other stewards pointed the Fendubbers guys out. There was only 4 cars from FD (Matty, Joe, S-Jay-1 and his mate), and then me. No room near them so had to park a bit further down.

So yeah, wouldn't really call it a clubstand to be fair.
Bit of a sh!t turnout from us I think... (my bad for being late, but at least I let Matty know so they could leave Brampton on time).

I stayed til the very end.
Was nice to see the awards varied out this year, rather than the same ol' stuff getting picked.
Very impressed with the MK5 winner, and the E46 2nd place (the owner was 69!).

I did say to the bloke when we got there that there would be a few more turning up abit later, but still packed us in tight next to the next people i was too tired to really give a f**k though

The marshal guys did leave a gap for us but the club there just decided to move by themselves then I felt the same as you matty it was too early in the morning for me to care

When we left there was like nobody there, except men cleaning up rubbish, we didn't even realise cuz we'd been sat behind the cars having a bbq haha! Did anyone see my polo? I was parked up the far left when you came in, by the custom cars and mini clubstands.
