blackx · 20 Jul 2003, 20:51 (Ref:666519)

Am thinking of attending this meeting but need to know a few things first..........
Can I bring my caravan????
Who do I volunteer to????
Where is the nearest town so I can get a reference and find a caravan site for the rest of the week?????

Your help is very welcome guys and gals.....

Steve, Here's a starter for ten;

Gurston is West of Salisbury, go via the A30 thru Wilton then turn left thru Fifield Bavant and left to Broad Chalke village.

Try the Gurston Down web site http://www.gurstondown.org. It has links to local information. However I am sure one of the GIT's can provide some upto date info.

Hope you and yours are all well?
Rgrds,

Jim.

We are all well........
Hope you and yours are too m8

About 5 miles outside salisbury.

If it's anything like as busy as today, it'll be great fun.

b1ackcr0w · 20 Jul 2003, 21:31 (Ref:666568)

Volunteer either to Caren Coddington @ BARC or even better Chief Marshal Alan Osgood - (PM me for phone no)

Caravans no problem, GIT Village will accomodate U nicely.

The whole Wilton/Salisbury area is pretty flooded with good caravanning places nearby, BARC website should help.

Any other stuff u wanna know - just ask. Look forward to having U down there...

Caravan site at Salisbury, Hudson's Field. Camping club site on the A345 next to historic Old Sarum, convenient for Salisbury Rugby Club - social membership £3! Excellent beer and my local!

Planning to go to, blackx, so we can introduce the caravans to each other.

But it only takes you 5 minutes to put up!!!!.... I've seen you in action....

If Rockingham becomes a one day meeting I will join you all for the other day that weekend.
Is it Saturday as well at Gurston, or just the Sunday?

Mrs BlackX · 21 Jul 2003, 17:42 (Ref:667437)

As it's a championship round Bob, it is indeed a 2 day event....

**Woolley** · 21 Jul 2003, 18:13 (Ref:667476)

I've got my awning sorted now, but I will help you with the tent as long as there's a gale blowing again!

I think that translates to "Look forward to you feeding me again!!!".....hahahahahaha

Just so you know we still have your vodka here.... You can collect it when you come for tea!!

Chigley · 21 Jul 2003, 20:52 (Ref:667629)

Have you guys got room for another roundy round supporter on Saturday. Perhaps its time to see what these little slopes are all about.

Stuart Hill · 21 Jul 2003, 21:16 (Ref:667663)

blackx · 21 Jul 2003, 23:27 (Ref:667763)

And here we have the start of Chigley's village

**Woolley** · 21 Jul 2003, 23:33 (Ref:667769)

Party time!!!

Stuart Hill · 21 Jul 2003, 23:51 (Ref:667778)

of course!! isn't that what Hillclimbing is all about???

**ghinzani** · 20 Aug 2003, 18:21 (Ref:693571)

Is there timed runs on saturday? If so what time does it all start? I live ten miles away so need to time ,my lie-in.......

thanks

Beardy359 · 20 Aug 2003, 18:39 (Ref:693588)

Practice Saturday, timed runs Sunday. It seems the only manning problem we'll have is finding somewhere to stand! I will be arriving Friday and will attempt to reserve some of the flatter ground for tents. Barbeque Saturday night, with lots of "falling down juice". See you all there.

blackx · 20 Aug 2003, 23:40 (Ref:693860)

Its not only the tents that need the flat ground............
Poor caravans need it relatively flat as well you know..........
:-0

**ghinzani** · 21 Aug 2003, 17:47 (Ref:694597)

As its only practice on saturday is it cheaper to get in then? Anyone know the start time at all? thanks
