VOC Annual Rally and BKV - 17th June

Post by Chris_C » 21 May 2007 10:22 am

Who is going this year?

Turns out I'm organising (prolly) an event on that Sunday, but keen to still go tbh, only problem is someone seems to have put it up that part of the world known as 'Norf'.

Still, I have a few peeps I can crash with if I decide to head up, but is anyone else gonna be there?

(FFS, ok, its 250miles for me each way... hmmm, definately maybe, would be the first I missed for a few years, I like collecting my plaque!)

I might trundle along, tis only 101 miles from the Dave-cave. I trust you don't have to be a member to go?

edit: did I really shorten "be" to "b"? I must have been very hungover!

Last years we did manage an awesome turn out at... and a very very quiet mutter by the organisers was even heard ;)

As I said *if* there is going to be a mass trip by the V3M lot, I'll try and turn up, will prolly have to fix Fake first, no chance of getting Kar done like I wanted :(

Sigh. I'd like to go. But 200 Euros for the Rotterdam to Hull ferry and about 100 Euros for petrol is a bit steep for me ... :(

How about a VOC rally in Dover next year? :-)

How does everyone fancy another pre-BKV party at the (relocated) House of Bricks? It might break up the journey for those heading north, and we're nice and near the A1 for the morning after....

Cool! All are welcome. Most of the cars will probably need to be stored at our unit, as there's not much parking outside the house....but we can sort something out.

I'll be going to the BKV, but not too sure if I can make the pre-BKV piss-up as my idiot father has chosen to have his birthday celebration on the Saturday. If it's a daytime do then I'll be over - remember to leave me a parking space outside as I can't walk far at my age........
