Wartime in the Vale
Papav66 replied to Ashdown Camp's topic in Wartime in the Vale, Ashdown WW2 Camp, Evesham
How peculiar that my previous question about plans for the 10th Anniversary Celebrations have gone unanswered & Q deleted from Facebook. Oh well best to re-do your plans & advertising as you can't count! (Part of the reason as to why I walked away) I set this show up in 2009 with Neil & Bob so this year is not the 10th! 👍🏻 -

I wonder what plans they've got for the 10th Anniversary Big Bang Show? -

Thanks Clive, drone pics will be helpful with planning for layout next year. Taken by a friend with a vehicle, who is quite experienced with drones, as you have to be 50m from structures & people so can do from the middle of the arena & before any one asks, yes he/drone are insured for flying. Maplin is quite a good place to buy them from. -

A short drone video of the whole site, taken early Saturday evening after the public had left & just after a rain shower hence not many people about, but for those that have not been before it will give you some idea as to what the event is like. https://www.btcloud.bt.com/?shareObject=67f13792-2a5e-9405-687a-2852da602619 -
future event Diamond T 980 and 981 75th Anniversary Gathering
Papav66 replied to Adrian's topic in Future events and meetings
Just to confirm that the dates for Wartime in the Vale will be 18 & 19 June 2016, so it does mean we will be clashing with A&E, but we've clashed before & don't think it had much impact on either event due to distance apart & type of events. As Ade mentioned we discussed a location option, where Spitfire was this year, so below are a couple of pics to show approximately where, with meterage to be confirmed nearer the time. And would create an extra entrance/exit in that corner of the arena. So hope this helps, but realise you might still need to consider other events. cheers Paul -

In addition to all the new vehicles that attended we also had some great displays around the camp brought to life by many re-enactment groups... -
Well I'm still recovering from being emotionally & physically worn out from doing the show again & somehow it was even better. We really appreciate all the support from vehicle owners, re-nactors, traders & public, and to finish off with a ride in the Water Buffalo was just the icing on the cake for me. So here are a few drone pics for starters, taken fairly late on the Saturday evening so some vehicles had gone home for the day & think most people had wondered down to the beer tent. And fortunately the rain later on Saturday afternoon didn't spoil things or even deter visitors, & did treat us to a fantastic double rainbow in the evening. If any of you have any interesting pics or feedback then please post away, as I didn't get chance to take many pics, but will add some later taken by another photographer. cheers Paul

WARNING - For those travelling from the North of Evesham along A46 please note there may be a diversion in place, from the Bidford roundabout down to the next roundabout at Evesham Country Park, the last section prior to Badsey is not effected. They have been closing the A46 at night from 8pm - 7am, its happening this week, however sometimes it switches between Northbound or Southbound so I've been in contact to try & find out the nights it effects Southbound, as could be a real pain for those arriving during the evening this week especially the Friday night but thought best to pre-warn you. Map here showing diversion, but will keep checking with them: http://www.highways.gov.uk/roads/road-projects/A46-Twyford-Roundabout-to-Salford-Priors-Roundabout-northbound-and-southbound-resurfacing?maps
