East Mids or thereabouts

Camping on October 10th? I think I'll pass on that one. It will be getting cold at night by then.
This is an event...an unsual one but an event all the same.
If a few of us can arrange to have a get-together there then go for a drive to somewhere for a bite to eat, then I'll be up for that.
It would be even more surreal to have a line-up of Elans here... & maybe an MX-5 too?

This would have been the day after Malvern, if it had not been cancelled.

Definitely! I'll be there!

Although I don't live too far away, I may go for a stay over, make a full break for the event, and possibly get to enjoy the beer a bit more!

For those travelling further, there are accommodation options on the web link if interested.

It is an odd event, not a massive thing but truely British and growing each year.

JB sold a conker on a bit of string with a copy of game rules to an American for £5 plus post a few years ago ... Ebay is wonderful, local traditions even better! May see me chasing cheese in Gloucestershire soon...

Definitely! I'll be there!

Well, weather looks good, my bee costume is ready, arranged travel with the local wine maker stall and have a bag of conkers I still havent threaded or practiced with.

All on I feel!

Looking forward to it!

Doh!

have a bag of conkers I still havent threaded or practiced with.

I thought the organisers supplied the conkers and string edit: Oh I see their just for practice

How sad am I ? I read the rules

[rip]

I don't think I'll be able to make this now.

Good luck, Stef.

Hi All.

Had a really great day and the bee costume with Justin as the bee keeper and smoke puffer went down well. Lots of people dressed up and the whole event had a brilliant atmosphere.

I sadly go knocked out in round 3, but pleased to get that far! My defeater was twice World champ though...

Camera is on charge so piccies will be posted later.

Think I shall be enterin for next year as well!

Didn't get to meetanyone else I know there apart from our friend running the wine stand. Hope some of you made it along, and if not, do think about going another year as I am sure you'll like it!

Enjoy the weather everyone!
