Mark Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 The shower blocks are c~@p but I take my own shower, just a small little pressure pump and a 25 litre canister of hot and cold water, does for me you cant trust the services there.

Jack Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Hey guys, I am sure Karoshi is well aware of some the problems that W&P has but he is just trying to organise some space so we all got somewhere to pitch up................go easy on him :wink: or he might tell us to poke it!

Karoshi Posted December 5, 2005 Author Share Posted December 5, 2005 The rules is simple. If you want to join a pitch share co-operative speak up and cough up. I've got no control over shower blocks, toilets, evening noise, the taste of the water, speeding traffic, unfair traders, animals, pyrotechnicians, the weather, nagging wives, broken down vehicles, dust, price of drinks, the state of the economy, shades of OD, tire pressures, clubmobile parking, other visitors or a mirriad of other non related matters. Event officer I am NOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Well said Karoshi could not have put it better myself, if you like W&P that much then you put up with some discomforts, they did not have showers in the trenches :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well now if you had asked me in SEPT or OCT it would have been a definite NO , but now we are in DEC and it's a don't know , and I suppose by the new year I will be making plans again to go, will I ever learn ?

Karoshi Posted December 5, 2005 Author Share Posted December 5, 2005 You're still welcome. Theres lots about the show I don't like, but it boils down to a take it or leave it decision. If you wanna be part of the action you gotta take the risk. At least in a group we could endure together, or maybe just maybe YOU ARE the one, that lets off the pyros, barks his dog, taints the water, blocks the loos, causes inflation, make a dust, speeds in the fields, moans about OD, nags his wife and lets tyres down, ................. I'll pencil you IN, just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy FV432 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Sorry Karoshi, the dig at conditions at Beltring weren't directed at you or anyone inparticular, but just wanderered if anyone else has same problems or views. think it would be a great idea for everybody to meet and it is the place to be within the hobby. Still think you should consider being events officer Dougy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know several guys who camp several days or for the week just to attend the militaria section. Ashley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karoshi Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 Even though I'm not the events organiser, or entertainments director, I'm sure we could fit you in for a couple or more days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Sounds tempting folks Need to check with work just to make sure the over-paid monkeys in our Data Centre dont have any plans to "maintain" (read wreck....) any of our servers during this time - if not then I'm interested!!!!

ashley Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Hi Karoshi, even though you are not the `events organiser` have you managed to stake a claim to a "HMVF " plot of land yet for the 2006 meet. Ashley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
