Marmite!! Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 My Vehicles & artillery are already on site, will be there first thing in the morning, I'll be easy to find, I will be the one busy blowing things up.. Quote
ArtistsRifles Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 Just got back in from an excellent day out!! Many thanks to those who organised it if they are reading the forums on here. The Powder Mills site is much much more interesting than even I thought it would be and even the wife mk 1 enjoyed herself (although she nearly had a little "accident" when Lee let the MOBAT off :evil:) Saw some very interesting vehicle - photo's are up in the gallery - inc a couple of very nice GMC's plus a couple I couldn;t swear I knew what they were so are marked unknown. If some one lets me have know what they are I'll amend the captions accordingly. I even managed to source a BRAND NEW Clansman ICB-3 from one of the traders :-) Looking forwards now till next year when my little girl will be there!! Quote

mick garner Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 Hi, It was a really good event, the 432 rides were good, all of the old buildings were extremely interesting, especially the old victorian mill with water wheel that you 'were not supposed' to go in!! :wink: Anyway the turnout was fairly good although there was not that many joe public i felt.. Steve where was your jeep?? You were there on sunday right?? Thanks, Mick. Quote
rapier rob Posted June 25, 2006 Author Posted June 25, 2006 Hi Mick Glad you enjoyed the 432 rides, It took me all thursday to clear the route! We had a few probs sun morning with water in the fuel and a suspect driveshaft but got them running for sunday afternoon (and raised a bundle of cash for BLESMA) This years show was definitely bigger than last years, with more vehicles entered and more visitors. To all those who attended either as participants, exhibitors or visitors, I'd like to say a big thank you on behalf of the Mills staff, and myself as show organiser. They have already asked me to do one next year and I'm going to try and contact all the other show promoters to see if for once we can sort out some dates without things clashing. My only moan is about people who book into a show and then don't turn up, the ones who did it last year did it this year too If you don't intend going, don't ask for a form, for info, most of the them own Jeeps! For those who DID turn up, a big big thank you.........now for that beer, and bath. Quote
saracenstump Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 hi rob, great show count us in for next year! :-D Quote
