SPTA team Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 The Plain Military boys are going, but without the Lightweight because I still haven't welded it back together yet. We are quite prepared to be foot soldiers for anyone that needs them. Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 If all goes according to plan - I will have a trade stand there :sweat::-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REME 245 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 The whole place currently looks like a First World War Battle Field turned into a sea of mud by the builders. The grass area by the side of the museum is fenced off and is currently the builders compound. Quite how they will arrange things this year will be interesting.

Why are you worried about a 'Sea of Mud'? We coped alright at Beltring last year..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny666 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 i wouldnt mind taking my little beastie down but fuel costs and getting ready for beltring will kill it i think so it might just be a foot slogger with no vehicle thats if we get chance to come down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Pearson Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I will be going, in fact as I type this I have just walked in having been at Bovy today getting vehicles ready for the show. Lets hope that the weather is better than the last time and the time before that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeEnfield Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 John, I'm assuming 'the action' will be taking place in the arena area,......there are the stalls and vehicle displays/related camping goimg to be,.........last time I was down there, (last year) the place looked like a bomb site.

AlienFTM Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Just yesterday(ish) the museum sent me the latest Tank Times, focusing on Tankfest. It features an aerial photo of the site and I have to say it appears that the building has totally subsumed the car park. I'd hate to think that following the demise of the Junior Leader Regiment RAC in the barracks over the road, they might have flattened the old barracks on the other side of the road to make a new car park. I am sure a lot of Boy Brats Alumni would have something to say. Even if it were the logical thing to do of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtistsRifles Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I was planning on going - but those plans just got shot down tonight!! :cry: :cry: The wife is registered for a charity event that was scheduled for the 15th - but the organisers have only just cottoned on to the fact that it clashes with Fathers Day so the event has been rescheduled - to this weekend!!
