Hi Pilgrim,
Just returned from Normandy and saw your message. We bought our Bong in December from AVA and it is finished in the carbon fibre effect.
We have used the van quite well as regards camping since then and enjoyed it immensely; especially meeting the folks at the Wirral Meet. I think that our area should organise a meet in the future.

Hi Peter & Sue,
Welcome back to Blighty.
Did you see that Pilgrim is a clone! Drives a two tone Silver R reg, so must also be called 'Peter' from hence forth
Have been looking for a suitable site for a local meet since we did Nutley last October. If you have any suitable areas/pubs that can take a party of Bongee, maybe we can fix something up. Need to keep clear of the arranged Meets though.

Hi Pilgrim!
What a luverly NUF bus - just like ours! Do you also tell everyone that NUF is 'FUN' backwards? Get some funny responses from non-bongo owners but heigh-ho, we love it and this is one thing we are not going to regret doing (my old granny always told me it's better to do it and wish you hadn't than not to do it and wish you had - wise lady!)
We are off to Chester to visit me Dad's old haunts on Thursday for a week - our daughter has already booked some babysitting jobs for us (love it!!), then back in Kent for a week and off again to Cornwall - in fact, we are spending more time in the NUF bus than in our house!! Can't understand how some people get bored when they retire - we are having a lovely time!
Love the Forum (when Pete lets me get on it) and feel already that we have joined a great bunch and can't wait to meet.

PS I wasn't really a traffic warden in pre-Bongo life, but I was a truant officer!!

Hi Pete and Sue,
No I had'nt thought of "NUF" being "FUN" (although it is ). The only comment we have had was from AVA Leisure when completing the conversion "-rnuf! is -rnuf!" I had bought the Bongo from an auction and arranged for AVA to do the conversion. During the conversion several major problems were found and rectified at more cost and delay but overall we saved money . I can only praise AVA for their expertise, skill and patience. Would I do it again , yes but now I know what to look out for.
Are you going to the New Forest Meet?
We are planning to go to Cornwall later this year Liskard, Helston and/or Blanford Forum, maybe we'll see you about.

Hi Brian & Geri
We are pretty well booked up Bongowise this year - mainly because our second grandchild is due at beginning of September and we need to be near Liverpool/Wirral from mid-August ready for babysitting our Dylan while Mum & Dad share in the arrival of the new one!! We also have to spend 4 weeks in France (what a bind!!!) spending our possible last summer in our cottage in Normandy (which is on the market as we cannot do justice to both Bongo and cottage).
Hopefully next year will be more organised (think I said that last year!!) and we fully intend to go to EVERYTHING!
