Keep smiling Aitch, we'll get you back there in the fullness :-)

Thanks for the reassurance Bob and Muz, I'm not fretting now :mrgreen:

Not planning to bring guitar this year, just some dusty old books. I could threaten to read one of those in public :lol:

If Ian de Bongomeister or any organiser is reading this, could they reassure me I won't be turned away and forced to wild camp in a nearby lay-by (and no that's not a tempting invitation) :lol: :(

Me and Trish are looking forward to a quiet weekend in good company - well that's what I've told her :^o :lol:

P.s. Just realised I've slipped quietly past 17000 posts - fancy me not celebrating that. What used to take me a month to do (1000 posts) now takes 2 years 8)

Hi Mike.....as a volunteer at the bash this year I will have the authority to turn you away at the gate..... :lol:

But you can be assured of a very warm welcome for you and Trish when you arrive..... =D>

looking forward to seeing you again.... :D

Anyone else hear the reference to the Bongo Bash and Bongonaughts etc etc on Radio 2 this morning? I missed the finer details but when I heard 'Bongonaught' my immediate response was: 'I am a Bongonaught'. Enjoy the Bash everyone! :D

Was hoping to be there tomorrow night but my fellow Bongonaught (Jack aged 9) managed to fall off a 6' wall on Tuesday night and break his wrist quite badly!!

A quick reconsideration means that plan B is to set off early sat morning and get there in time for the coach trip to Gaydon (he likes classic cars) and then just one night for us.

Well we're here, and its beautiful. Unfortunately my new alternator packed up en route, which was not beautiful. But the wonderful philbongopist Iain de Bongomeister was able to stable us near a resuscitation hook up, and Super-Ade and the Incredible Geoff provided diagnosis and charger. So we're hoping that, being a diesel, we can get home on Sunday as long as we don't use unnecessary electrical services. [-o<
