Comfy chair picked up, almost as big as my tent bag
Internet and internet telly sorted. Mobile 4g router tested with sim payg data sim carphone warehouse tried telling me they don't sell
Gaz cans as a back up to my gas cans from B&M stores
24 led camping lantern picked up

Fill up the car tank after my final shift on the ambulance today

My chair arrived from Amazon yesterday and there will be people at VF this year with tents in smaller bags. Oops.

I wanted a moon chair, but the only ones in stock locally were £45+

Ended up with an urban escape chair from Halfords. Good comfy chair for a large build, plus padding and insulation round the lower back to stop any chills

This band look worth a look, in the Cuts Ice Unplugged Vape lounge on Saturday-

It is only a weekend event isn't it        

On a more serious note - make sure all your fancy gear is locked away lee - there have been thefts reported in previous years.

But most of all have a great time - all of you

BrenD don't forget the banner then it can go to Ireland or Scotland and we can take it to Scotland in October or elsewhere.... maybe? London?

I need email and internet access, just in case there are any changes or glitches with next weeks employment start date

Be just my luck to have an urgent request for more information on Friday afternoon when I'm driving over

And I detest mobile phones for anything other than making phone calls with

I need to wrap myself in cotton wall until I start

Avoid deadly man flu at all costs

So tempted for smut in the reply.

My tablet might have kodi loaded for catching up on the UK news and weather forecast, honest guv

Plus I'm in a hotel in London on Wednesday night

The company wont tell me the hotel until I turn up for my training and exams, so I have no idea what facilities are there.

What were the theft incidents in the past?

The reason for the camping fee was listed as security being employed for the camping area

And if anyone gets the chance to offer the guards a brew, please do

Event security pay rate aint the best, even for working nights

My life wouldn't be worth living if I forgot it!

The London lot have already had the banner, so the NI meet could be its next port of call. Sadly getting everyone together in Cornwall is pretty tricky these days, so there's little point in me taking it home again.

Unless I fetch it back from Scotland. I will get up there before next year's VF, it's still the only regular meet I'm yet to make it along to.

First test run on loading the car.

Not good

2 tables, 2 stoves, box of gas and half the cooking gear, plus a crate of beer, filled the poxy boot

Bring back real cars as the norm instead of these silly hairdresser sized cars with engines to match

If you don't mind Lee, I'm sure the members would agree that one particular lowlife is not worthy of any forum space. So in answer to your question, somebody will give you the knockdown on situations that occurred in the past when we get there.
