Will be good to meet you too, remember that lots of us are old friends and this is our first get together of the year.
Wade in and chat and any questions just ask. If in doubt lift your bonnet, scratch head and you will soon have a crowd of cooing Bongonauts.
Always be ready for a Top Up!

Also, pop your name and location in your windscreen and sit outside your unit.
Woo, I made a mess of that.

Looking forward to this. It will be our first Bongo meet, assuming Billy survives the winter..
also assuming red funnel prices are not sky high at that time of year
Hopefully my list of 'things to do' will be reduced by then.
please don't larf at the rust

Our initial allocation of 40 places have all been sold. A waiting list is now in operation. I will try and get some more pitches in the New Year. Thanks for your support.

Hi all,
We are newbie Bongonauts and this will be our first bash... is it suitable for the kids? We have two boys 5 and 7.
Thanks!

Booking for meets need to be done first thing! Preferably with a high-speed auto-dialler (Ring back's don't work either, by the time you pickup someone else has got thru!).
The number of children at meets varies a lot, depends on dates and facilities, however the National Bash at Stourport is always brilliant for Kids of all ages;

Definitely good for youngsters, just call and go on the waiting list.
Ian is hoping for more pitches and someone may cancel.

Have just spoken to Sandy Balls and our allocation has been increased to 75 pitches.

That's the maximum we can have. And as we had 40 bookings and 33 on the waiting list, that leaves just 2 slots.
Everyone on the waiting list will be contacted after 6 January.
