rapier rob Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Greetings all. Here are the details for next years military vehicle show at the royal gunpowder mills, waltham abbey, essex. Its on june 23/24th, and we have the usual facilities, proper toilets, cafe, traders, and we supply a meal sat night as a way of saying thanks for coming along. there is a cinema and museum on site, plus loads of buildings of historical interest. this year you are guaranteed a free trip round the site, which shows part of the mills that isn't open to the public. There will be quiet camping for those who wish to sleep, and not so quiet for those who don't! 432 owners are invited to take part in our tank rides, which give you the chance to take some of our visitors around a closed area of the mills, raising money for a military charity, this year it was BLESMA. Its a relaxed, friendly show, in a beautiful woodland setting. June 23/24th just off junc 26 of the M-25 more details to follow, as they become available http://www.royalgunpowdermills.com http://www.millsmilitaria.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rapier rob Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 Right, 13 weeks to go and preparations are well under way. Some forms have been posted out to previous entrants but if your a first timer and want a form let me know, and i'll have one in the post for you. If you have sent in a form then thanks, and passes etc will be sent out in a few weeks. If you don't support local shows then local shows will not be put on, lets make this years gunpowder mill show as good as the previous ones!

Gareth Coe Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Hello sweetie :tongue: Floosie and I will, of course, be there again this year. Probably bring the Guzzi along this year, as it definitely didn't get enough use last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapier rob Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Great to hear that (about the guzzie and floosie) not so sure about being called sweetie, but then, I have been called a lot worse! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian2b Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Come on Rob you know you love all that sweet talking stuff, Hunny :flower: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Well, weekend for this one is fast approaching now - only 5 days off. Rob - will it be OK to drop little Maud off on the Thursday afternoon?? It would make life easier for the Coalhouse Fort group head-wise on Friday if we can do so.

David Ives Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 is it to late to book or can i just turn up in my 80's 109 :computerterror: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FV601 (R.I.P.) Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 is it to late to book or can i just turn up in my 80's 109 :computerterror: Dave, not 100% sure but assuming Rob has not had the arrangements changed by the Mills themselves it is normally OK to turn up from Friday evening. Rob might be able to confirm this but if you do not get an answer before the weekend dont panic as I know he works shifts and awkward hours. I would just turn up anyway as the more the merrier :-D and as Rob has said if people do not support the local shows then they dont get put on.

rapier rob Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 Well the weekend has come and gone, and I'd like to thank all those who turned up, especially the NLBA who raised over £400 for cancer relief at mount vernon hospital, by putting on "tank rides" for the punters with some 432's For those who didn't turn up, why do you bother sending in entry forms if you don't intend coming (some of you for the second year) If you don't want to come, don't waste your time and mine by requesting forms and sending them in? It is partly because of these timewasters that I will NOT be putting on any more shows at the gunpowder mills, I have better things to do with my time. If you don't support local shows, there will not be any local shows to attend. Once again, for all those who DID bother to make the effort, you have my thanks.

rambo1969 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 My dad, alan and vic enjoyed the show and said the food saturday night was yummy!. I wished I could have made it but work commitments could not allow me. Thanks for your effort rob in organising the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
