Firth of Forth

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.

UPDATE. UPDATE..

OK Folks. Here is a head count for the meet so far. The following people I have down for lunch (soup and roll). jim the box (x3), Driver+passengers (x3), bongopoet (x2), Furydav (x2), The laird (x4), peterrc (x2), Mountaingoat (x1), Kentait (x2), The-Gordons (x2), Stewby (x2), Dave-Aber (x2), Dunslair (x1).

Hopefully Mountainmummy, MiKebongo and Petenbex, will also be able to join us, but not for lunch??

Any other folks intending to join us, please let me know over the next couple of days so we can confirm numbers with The Hawes Inn.

It would also be really helpful for any of us who have not met before, if you could put a sign with your forum name in the windscreen of your van (thanks for the suggestion Peterrc )

kind Regards

First time meet for us, two of us (and two wee dogs) looking forward to it.

Will be there over lunch but not having the soup and roll I'm afraid!

Any straglers
Does being an outcast and turning up in a black Jeep Cherokee rather than a Bongo qualify?

Now here is an idea. Make the letter or figure 10 in Bongo's. Then find a high vantage point to take a photo. A basic figure 10 would take 5 Bongo's. A basic letter TEN would take 8 Bongo's and a Jeep (if we could find one).

We are in need of a small inlet gasket if you have one. Also since changing the alternator we may well be in need of a fuel filter (sediment and charge lights come on a lot now). Hoping for some advice from fellow bongonauts who may of had the same issue.
