SWAG Member's Day - 24th April 2022

[Re6/6]

If you're intending to spend, spend, spend at BG man's bazaar please bring cash (can't remember using it lately!) and also a plastic bag as there won't be any at the stall. Thanks.

 

Do have a nice time!

 

John.

Car loaded including covid passport, negative LFT and coffee mug.

 

 

 

 

Loading was easy once I worked out how to get the bl**dy trestles in. Car is about a foot too small to make things easy. No room for passengers.

Just drilled through the layout wiring ...  be right back. 

Wiring sorted,  car loaded mostly, almost forgot the control panel, but all lined up by the door to trip over in the morning.

I am in Taunton, much earlier than expected. No bandit attacks so far.

We were unable to ascertain the statutory waving at Doris (the caravan) as you passed, and look

at the outcome. Rob's mates held up the train!

 

I can report that we (myself & MrsMB) have been taking it easy ahead of tomorrows excitement.

To liven things up we have just done our LFT tests, all good.

I have checked goodies for bring & buy.

I even have some ideas for numberplates etc from 247, that's an excercise I'd started at least

twice pre-covid.

Don't have many £1 or 50ps, but that just means I'll have to find more to buy!.

 

ROB do you need any help setting up etc, I know I'm a bit bit late offering, but  wasn't entirely

sure about the driving, 'til recently. But I do feel as though I'm a relative local now.

(And hopefully, if you've remembered, I'm guaranteed to be taking some new items home, without

having to be at the front of the charity queue.

 

Will have a chat tomorrow, but just let us know if you need extra hands.

He muttered something about taking reference photos to help a friend, but I think what we're actually witnessing here is Spams' secret admiration of the Manor class

Very interesting.

 

It's a small step from a Manor to a cute little pannier.

 

Just saying.

Last witnessed at Watchet waving to strangers with a big smile on his face, most odd.

[Mulgabill]

I should add, that Foxy was well prepared for todays events.

 

He was practising his fire setting skills last Saturday ( causing Odney to be held at Williton).

 

And just to be sure, twice again, on Tuesday, apparently.

 

Todays BBQ oportunity should have been a doddle.

'Crew's not about. How much would Dave down the pub give me for this one, I wonder?'

We just swapped it for two pints of Butcombe.  I think we got a good deal.

Reference photos just for you Rob, I've sold my soul to get you these and see what trouble you've caused...

 

 

 

 

And this is my final thought on the matter...

 

 

As a learned friend said to me earlier... "Glorified Wiping Rag".

I remember seeing a sign above one of those; it read:

 

The job's never finished till the paperwork's done!

That was wind after the fish and chips, I was just waving to clear the air...

There is a three way set of lights covering from the roundabout to thefar side of the villages hall. Bariers in the road half way across just before the entrance but that is clear. You will not be able to park right outside the hall. I assume the hall car parking spaces are reserved for exhibitors. It should possible to park further along from the lights.

 

Regards Don

[Stubby47]

Still flipping dark here, but off we go.

 

Safe journey all, see you later.

[2ManySpams]

Good morning campers from a damp and overcast Taunton. Looking forward to the show and the full English breakfast we're having at the hotel. Tidy. 

 

Safe journeys one and all, see you shortly.

Dreary but dry so far in Babbacombe, and we hope to be on the road well before 9. LFTs were negative last night and plastic beakers from Le Mans are ready and waiting. We will have to be away again before 1, as we have a play read-through at the Little Theatre - for our August production of 'Allo 'Allo.
