. Not worth booking a spot until i know what the weathers going to be like. And if I can afford the fuel to do both meets

You're welcome to join me Chris, if allowed by the site.

Hi lisa this one is an un-offical day meet on the 10th september at Brean down beach carpark
a few have booked camping fromthe Friday at
http://www.breanfarm.co.uk/channel-view.html
It appears that if you mention the name Clark they should accomodate you being close to the others
The meeting the week after is the offical Bongo fest South West on this link
http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... 37&t=50260
and on getting the link for you I see its sold out but its still worth contacting Ian as there is a waiting list in operation.
I got on my first ever offical meet due to a cancelation so well worth doing.

Have booked for the Saturday and Sunday nights, 'with Clark's party'. Apparently everybody is booking in to the pitches with sea view. We will then be making our way down to the Looe Bash as well. Look forward to seeing everybody.

Hello all, we have just bought a Bongo and need lots of hints and tips so see you there. Is there a postcode for the car park just in case there's 2 car parks full of Bongos

Remember to check the high tide times & height!

...there are folks every year who park on the beach car parks

...and come back too late to a drowned car

Out of interest this meet coincides with the Shepton Outdoor Motorhome and Caravan Exhibition (Sept 9-11), so a couple of us are going on to Shepton catch the last day on Sunday.
