North West Big Autumn Bash - 2nd - 4th October 09

[mobilecat]

Am I dreaming or have the prices to stay (independently) at this site gone up somewhat?

[Mr_Spanners]

I'm currently looking at buying an unconverted bongo in the coming months with a view to carrying out a side conversion with leisure battery and hookup. Having been very kindly invited to see Muzorewa's AFT last weekend he suggested that I come along to the 'bash' to look at other converted Bongos to get an idea of what options I have! Since I'm starting with a blank canvas it'd be nice to see what options I have so I can decide what bits would be nice and what bits are essential!!! The only 'must have' at the moment is the AFT... at 6ft 2" I think a tintop would be a disaster for my posture!

I do hope you don't mind a non-bongoist walking around and pestering owners with questions????

Don't worry - plenty of us started off just like you. I met two members in a tesco carpark for a nosey at their bongos and then came to Silverdale to do the same thing with Muz - when neither of us had bongos. You will be made welcome and will leave wondering how you ever managed without a bongo!

WOW that looks amazing! I'm very 'handy' and have thought of doing a full DIY conversion myself but I need to see what's possible and speak to owners who have done this to get some hints and tips - I'm sure there are many perils and pitfalls going this route so it'd be good to be clued up before starting!!! I will bring a camera and a notepad to try and get as much info as possible!!! I did wonder where all the edging trim\small fixtures and fittings came from and how the boards\cabinets are fixed to the body? I hope I'm not going to bore people to death with all my questions!!!

Thanks mobilecat, Muz did mention he'd attended as a non-owner so I'm glad to hear that it's quite normal for the occasional bongo hunter to attend and snoop around!!!

ouch the 12 inch bbq rule is a bit of a ****** -can anyone remember if they have breeze blocks or something to stand them on.

...but what is encouraging is "Please ensure that children do not disturb the peace after 11.00pm." - does that mean it's ok for adults?
