Right.. need to blow some dust of this topic..

Are we still coming down? I heard from some people they can't and other they want to come so will post a paypal address soon for those who come to make a £5 deposit.
I'm not a fan of asking this at all but I need to know how many are coming for sure with regards to toilet and food.. plse remember, this is a no profit event!!
Cheers

2 weeks!!

All is booked and the fields are looking good as ever..

Even the sheep, ducks and chicks are ready for you :-)

Don't forget there won't be any traders but if you'd like to sell some old stuff you can have a small patch in front of your bus for 1 symbolic £ .
Unfortunately we haven't managed to get a deal done with the local airfield for a vintage photoshoot due to safety restrictions.
Hopefully the weather will be on our side!!

See you in 2 weeks!
