If you are going away somewhere and don't mind meeting up with other Bongo owners or if you've been somewhere & want to tell us about it & stick up your photos, put the details here.

Congrats to Simon & Julie for all your hard work as per usual. Gutted we could not make this one as we really enjoyed woodlands last time. Looks like you all had a fab time loving all the pics.

We've already posted on the Devon & Cornwall forum but seeing all these lovely comments and pics, I must add a bit here!

Simon and Julie are top organisers, everyone always enjoys their meets so much, nothing is too much trouble for them - and come what may, Julie keeps smiling! What a pair they are! What is particularly great about our meets is the way we are all such good friends and pull together to make a success of them. For example, with this Halloween Meet we all contributed little treats for the kiddies; Tim brought his new brazier and supplied the fuel; Julie made numerous cups of hot chocolate with marshmallows for us all; Simon and Julie provided the Fancy Dress competition prizes. There is a camaraderie amongst us that you don't find in many places, and if anyone has a problem, we are all there to help sort it out - as was proved a few times this weekend.

Roll on the next get-together!! Mo
No-one is perfect. There is a crack in everything - that's how the light gets in.

Posted a big thank you in the Kernow/Devon section but would also like to thank Julie and Simon here for a great weekend and fun party. I have included here some pictures of the Woodlands waterslides with Florence and myself ascending at, i must hasten at great speed too, down the orange slide.

Before we went to Woodlands I e-mailed Florence and jokingly added, 'I'll take you on the waterslide'. And as Flomo always states, 'I have seen 70 you know!' Moral of this tale-Challenge Flomo and she will take you up on it.

Shortly after launch.

Decellerating. Rapidly!

Flomo. Overjoyed. Me? Stunned!

I used to have a very nice waxed hat!! Its Monday morning and I've yet to pass it :?

Hey Paul, that was a nice setowheels you had.. & a great set up, i'm surprised your gazebo moved, it looked quite solid..?

The end of my awning came loose on Saturday night.
We were trick or treated earlier in the evening & all i had to offer the little scamp was some fourdayold Harribo's.. :oops:
Thinking back to when i was that age...? I probably would have been disappointed with the bounty i had put in the bucket, & might have been back "pulling pegs" knowing the weather forecast that night!! :wink: :twisted: :lol: :lol: :lol: 8)

Thanks you to Simon and Julie for a grrreat weekend. Your hardwork certainly made an event go smoothly.

My sister Christine who arrived on the tow lorry would like to thank Hayden and everyone who helped get her back on the road.

She made it home in one piece although she made Paul drive it home!!!!!!!

Thanks to Hayden who looked at my coolent alarm and fixed it.

We all enjoyed ourselves and love that everyone is so friendly. Christine would like to thank those for the offer of food and hot drinks after the 8 hour marathon from Bristol although she did save on diesel. Bongo is going in the garage for some much needed attention.

Looking forward to the next meet.

Bongomad2...having given it a bit of thought ...get the garage to really flush out the radiator as there is a possibility it is a bit crudded up. And check all hoses.
Nice to have met you and glad I could help.
