To celebrate 10 years since the formation of the Bongo Fury owners club, Sunday 24th February 2013 has been designated as National Bongo Day. What we have in mind is a series of events in various locations across the UK & Ireland where Bongonauts can get to meet each other and perhaps have a Sunday lunch.

We want pictures or video if it all comes off, including the bit where Matt spouts steam
Seriously hope not, Matt spouting steam that is!

Yes, we're definitely coming, snow or no snow. Getting ridiculously excited at the thought of such a special occasion being the Bongo's first 2013 excursion. What time do we need to get there - and (with apologies for being a fortnight behind the times) are we too late to book some soup?

If the 2 Bridges is closed we might be able to use their Car Park as an overflow if required. Provided that they don't block it off.

Don't worry Tony, we can do some magic with photoshop. Who would you like to look like.... Charles Bronson, Dirk Bogart, Jimmy Crankie?

My daughter in law's father works for a breakdown company near the bridge. She was suggesting we have one at each end "Just in case"
