Are you older than me, (76) ?.

See you there !!!!!.

Hi There,
I think I have given everyone the idea that We are ancient, but like yourself I am not old (just feel it) I am 66. I just assumed this type of event may be geared more to people in the 20-35 group. I am so happy you have contacted me with your age. I know for definate now that we wont be out of place. It obviously is a mixed age event
I look forward to meeting you on wednesday
The meet we had in the East a few weeks ago had all ages from 60+ down to 3 months, so yes they are mixed age events.

Gosh no - the people I have met sso far through bongo meets have ended to be from about late 20s to early 60s and I have only been to a few meets. Lots an lots of people find bongos as they start to have more time that isnt tied up with full time work so I would imagine that 66 would be quite some way from the top of the age group. You will be made very very welcome and will be suprised at what a good time you have.

Hi Jimmy
Your only old enough to be my big brother, but Ben (2sticks) is more like a grumpy uncle :lol: :lol: :lol: (sorry Ben). Also, it's not true that his wife says he's a dog - she would do, but he's not as obedient :lol: :lol: :lol:

Looking forward to seeing you at Stourport.

We're mid fifties and trust me these guys will give you a great welcome, the Bash will be just teriffic, join in with as much or as little as you want to.

If you can't sort the trailer electrics in time you could lash on a light board with some cable ties, £15/20 from your local accessory shop.

See you there. :D

Humble apologies - I accidentally deleted the post I was replying to :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: It queried what the field was like after a lot of rain - SORRY :oops: :oops: :oops:

No hard-standing on the rally field, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem (unless you park at the bottom of the hill :lol: :lol: :lol: )

The only time it will rain will be Wednesday. Trust me :) . And even if it does rain, apart from one bit near the entrance, the field drains really quickly. You have nothing to worry about.

Thta's it.....this is my last post. Wish me luck.....we are Bashward Bound :D
