    Same weekend as the ssvc tech weekend as it was the only date that really works. If loads of people don’t fancy sharing the weekend let me know, and I’ll see what I can do.
    Get it in your diary folks.

  3. I can’t see a problem with sharing the weekend
    It will be nice to have a variety of vehicles to look at and new people to meet.

    No problem, might even have the Splitty finished by then, if not I could trailer it down and get some expert help

    Not sure. They always stay in the top field, we stay in the bottom field, so plenty of room.

  7. Seems a bit antisocial/odd if people didnt want to share the weekend with fello VW types. Has there been some kind of history/beef before?

    Not that I know of.
    Only reason for mentioning it is it’s a change; and people don’t generally like change.

    All the more reason to be fine with it, my first thought was already tight sharing 5 hook ups between 20 vans

    It will be thrice the fun , surely :D

    I think it will add to the event rather than take away anything

    I wonder if they have their own resident
    @Baysearcher or if you will have to extent your reign of pow e e rrrrrrrr ;)

  15. I don't mind either way although I popped in for a quite night on the way up to Leeds forgetting Stanford was on and the splitties were only in the top field - maybe 150 ??
    Something I found funny was the number of Van's camping under an events shelter...
    Bit strange but each to their own .
    I'll be there if I'm around that weekend

    It'd be good to share the weekend with the SSVC, see some different buses.

    We hope to be there.

    If anyone is interested, there's a free car show in Enderby on the Saturday. All sorts of vehicles owned by local people. It's about 20 minutes away from Victoria Farm

    I’ve just got a late entry to a local Mtb race which typically happens to be the same weekend as TE.

    Bit annoyed at missing the joint do with the Splitty’s but excited for the race as it’s the inaugural one and right on the doorstep, will get to ride a fair bit of usually inaccessible trails.

    25k with 1100metres of climbing and 8 timed stages, I’m in the ebike over 60s class
    Should be fun, see you all in the spring!
