Newark Gathering 3-5 June 2016 - Official Announcement

David,

Ah, the best laid plans of mice and men. We'd planned on setting off around 09:30.
13:00 and still no where near leaving.

Henry.

 

Well we're both here. Basically we're in the area closest to the dog walk where your bottom arrow points. We can however extend out into all three areas you've pointed to, so there should be enough room. I'll be alright though.


And it's not raining.. Yet... Much.

 

It will be later

Best pack my waterproof coat then

 

Ray, Thursday thru Sunday no rain will fall...
in fact all the time I'll be there. (sure)

 

I think I'm going to need plenty of heaters...

 

Definitely pack the heaters, currently sat in the van with the gas fire on. Tried putting the awning up with Nigel, but for some reason the wind decided to pick up at that point, I nearly lost the lot so decided to take it back down and try again tomorrow.

 

Where have they put you?

 

Just where I've written on the picture, that little straight bit that runs along the hedge line. I would circle it or point to it, but this is the best I can do on my iPad.

 

Ah - cool - our 'old' pitch! Before we outgrew it.

 

I'm setting off in the next 20 minutes or so. Putting a few last-minute things into the car - should I pack the sun-tan lotion?

 

....Are we nearly there yet???

.... Come on, dish the dirt on the other rally then. ... ...
..make 'em wait at the sink when you're washin up I say, bloomin'cheek..

 

I'm sure the 'lampies' will be posting some pics soon but for now here's some over at CCS:

Well it was great to meet up with you all again and see your collections of lamps and stoves... All over far too soon though.

A few pictures, only taken from a phone I'm afraid.

 

Dinner

 

Nice pictures chris I tried to have a walk round and take some but never got all the way round to chat to everyone hopefully next year I will get there for more than the day.
Anyway here is the few I did take

 

I had a fantastic time last week, I'm just sad that's it's all over for another year. I didn't take any pictures at the meet, however I did just take this snap in the spare bedroom. It's amazing what you can squeeze into the back of a Ford Focus. Thanks Ross for organising another successful event.

I hate unpacking!!!!!

 

I to would like to thank Ross for arranging another newark session. It was good to see everyone and see some nice lamps and stoves. A little trading done and a good time had. Look forward to the next one.
