I'm guessing most of us will eat together in the pub on the Saturday night.

I'm up for that. It was quiet on Saturday night, but then it wasn't that busy on Sunday lunchtime either!

Visited The Golden Swan over the weekend. The ground is ok at the moment so unless there's a deluge we should be fine. Apart from the EHU points coming out from the toilet block there are also now 2 posts down the fence with 4 hook-ups apiece.

If you have extensions leads and splitters, bring them. I'll bring mine.

Pubs: all the ones we've visited in the past are open: The Barge at Honey Street, Seven Stars at Bottlesford, The Crown Inn, Royal Oak and Coopers plus the Moonlight one, all open when I drove past. They're building houses on the land next to The Crown Inn and Wilcot Road is one-way - don't know if it was last year or not, looks like a new thing. Can only drive from Pewsey towards Wilcot. Oh the Waterfront is also open. As is the wool shop! Garden Centre is still there too.

Footpaths are muddy but passable, including the canal towpath. I won't be joining any walks though - I overdid it (didn't think I did at the time) and now my knees are killing me!

List has been updated. Some EHU available.

Thanks for your selfless research Jilly.

Too busy pushing, shovelling and winching to take pics.

Oh, and the odd beer.

Odd beer will do that to yer! Should have stuck with cider.

Thanks to Jilly and all, who come rain or shine made this another great weekend. Nice chill out time with a little excercise and good food too. Roll on the next one.

No pics from me I'm afraid, although I took a couple but the sky was dark. Baz posted a good one on the FB group page. Thanks to everyone that turned up and braved it! Thanks also to Royston & Julia Heath and Gordon & Gill Weller who turned up on the Saturday and had a meal in the pub.

Only one no-show that didn't let me know so pretty good all in all.

Everyone agreed it was a lovely crowd and we all enjoyed ourselves despite the weather - and my damn knee! Thank goodness for Lilly the pub dog who exercised Ruca for me on the field!

Started the business of getting my knee sorted: doctor and X-ray dept this morning!

What facebook group Jilly?
Good luck with the knee they can take their time to get back right.

Great weekend, lovely to meet up with Bongo Buddies new & old & Big Thanks to Jill for organising

I've put a couple of photos on Mazda Bongo Owners FB page, haven't seen Baz's photo tho, which FB page did he post it on Jill?

Bob, hope you had an uneventful decamp & got your caravan off without too much stress?!

See you all at Stourport if not before
