I didn't talk to anyone, make eye contact , help with awnings, fix jewellery,introduce people, shake handsmeet nice new folks,litter pick, mop bogs, teach Alex things, Knit and natter,do crafts, cook food , wear a t shirt with my name on or display a big sign in my van, drink beer and Dance like a Tazered loon in a home made poncho.
So i will not be doing these things next year either.
Always be ready for a Top Up!

Easy to write your real / forum name on them .. even .. VISITOR .. membership number .. pitch number .. or what have you ..
A few years ago at the Bash I bought 200 blank badges that you could write your name on, handed them out to everyone on arrival, only to find nobody wore them at all.
I wear Tee-Shirts with my forum name on O:) so how about handing out several hundred blank shirts and a marker pen next time Ian :twisted: :P .............. ](*,)

Advertising your details is a personal matter.....some people do...some don't......I do so people know who I am on the forum.......it does help to know people who you see on the forum but don't know who is who..... :shock:

In the North West most people had their forum name on their Bongo and at meets they would have people coming up and saying so you are so and so.....?

There was one NW member who had a number plate made with his forum name and put it on his Bongo when camping.......often forgetting to take it off when going home.... :lol:

Knowing peoples forum name is a great help but as I said it is a personal matter.... :?

PS Ian I remember the badge me and it was disappointing that nobody took part....I did...but you made the effort.... =D>

I have my forum name, avatar and real name on a laminated sheet of A4, which I stick in my windscreen. Sadly, although I didn't notice until leaving, it had fallen off :oops: :lol:

Happy to do laminated signs next year for peeps vans if it helps. Maybe run a list of those who are happy to have their name put on their van and a few weeks before the bash, I can make them. If peeps want something flash with picture on it they can send me an A4 document and I'lll sort out laminating it.

Just need to be reminded a month of so before the next bash.

I bet you that 75% of the people at the Bash don't even have a Forum name.....

If that is the case, then all he has acheived is a plethora of positive posts which have produced something totally the oposite of his original plans...

We came to the Bongo Bash - first timers - and had a lovely day on Sunday. We realised that there might be an early pack up before we came, but it was lovely to meet some of you and we plan to come down to Looe if work commitments allow (husband is a shift worker). We are owners of the Brawny - and my husband (and me!) were so chuffed at the warm welcome you extended and lovely positive comments. So thanks guys, we hope to see you all in September and to make some new friends over a beer or three! A lot of hard work goes into the Bongo Fury website, and its a shame that something negative was posted.... we had a Freda before the Brawny and used the site for so much research and info, as do our Bongonaut friends. Thank you! =D>

Hi Labiathon

I was the guy who was packing up and had a chat with you both. I admired the Brawny you own which must be very rare and took a couple of photos as it was interesting to note our Bongos are both 'M' plates. The end of one model and the beginning of the another. When I suss Photobucket out again i'll post the photos. Quite a few of you turned up with other Bongos and looked a right cheerful bunch. Hopefully you can make Looe and if so we will see you there.

Well I had a lousy time last year,bongo baz didn't make us feel welcome and we didn't enjoy his company nor did I meet the legendary muz family who also didn't make us feel welcome or so many others who completely ignored us when passing by billy or out and about site and town.nor did we meet jim the box who we spent a terrible impromptu Sunday evening with.
We was not absolutely gutted we could not be there this year ,I much more prefer to be working away with no holiday this year so far.and I won't be busting a gut to get there next year. :^o :^o :^o :^o ah reverse psychology me thinks.

PROBABLY THE BEST CLUB IN THE WORLD =D> =D> =D> =D> :lol: :lol:
