Top venue though

I'm glad you said that not me people might think I was biased. making sand castles with your C5 though was just asking for trouble.

There's some great events which regularly take place round Bournemouth and Poole It's a superb place to visit for a break too.

Gordon Bennet I'm beginning to sound like a commercial Sale ends Friday! eeeek!

Cheers mate, but its got to be said, the meetings for the C5'ers would not have been half as fun, or succesful, without mad people like yourself there !!

Qdos, we dont have any plans to go back to Bournemouth just yet, but meetings are being planned near to there. Southampton being one of the planned venues and also, although a little further, Weston-Super-Mare in October.

Will keep you posted as it would be great to meet up !!

There's the Hampshire Pageant Of Motoring at the August Bank holiday at Romsey near Southampton I've got some space on a stand there it's a great show with lots of other mad folk too.

That sounds great, would love to come along if possible. Can you give me some more details ?

Thanks

Yes it's the largest motoring event on the South Coast it's on the 26th and 27th August with air display as weel as lots of top class things in the main arena being demonstrated.

Keep watching the BVS area groups pages on the main BVS site particularly this one South Coast contact details there

Your always welcome down my neck of the woods (Portsmouth area) not only sand free but also lovely and flat

So, are you getting a BVS marquee then Kelvin? We should start working to make the regional stands as standard in appearance as we can and professional to boot.

If you've got one I'll happily use it.

Actually There's a chap in the village here (and it's a very small village) who supplies those folding marquees so I can find out about one. Perhaps some of those curvey shaped banner flag things though miught be more practical and cheaper as we could post them to who ever needs them at a venue.

Yup - but don't you like being dry!? *wink*

I think once the BVS has some more members we'll maybe able to get some of those snazzy vinyl display boards that you can get. They'd look awesome!
