Wow we are envious - must be one of the only fine weekends this year. Sorry we could not make it. Great photos you must have had a great time. Hope to see some of you in Wales

It was nice to meet you all, I was in the small blue tent next to the bar.

I picked up some great tips from fellow club members and now have a much better idea of what to look out for.

Particular thanks to Bob and Sue who looked after me and introduced me to other members.

Hope to see you all soon

Thank you Ian & Marianne..We had a fab time..even if we got stuck on the M5 going south and arrived two hours late in the pitch black.. Thank you to the very kind gentleman for letting us borrow his head torch ( it that what it's called?) so we could put the awning up. The best we had ever done it..no sagging!! Have loads of photos, but not sure how to post them!!! still new to this.

Poor old Travis got the Short Straw and finished up next to us - what an intro to the Bongo Community :!:

Travis was great company though, really good to see you, look forward to meeting all the family, with your Bongo. :D :D :D

Many thanks to Bongo Towers for arranging the Fest and ordering such lovely weather :lol:
We had a great time. Good to see old friends and meet new ones. We must have put on a few pounds eating the Cornish pasties and cream teas. Can't wait till next year!

A Bongo by any other name would still drive as sweet.

Great slideshow Kirsty - shows justwhat the weekend was all about.
