I can't make it until Sunday.
I'll see you all then.

As a concerned resident of Pebo I have the following suggestions for watering holes. 1. Black Horse at Elton, excellent food, real ale and about 4 miles up the old oundle road from the showground with twisty bits to amuse the locals. (Watch the local plods amusing speed trap on the west side of the A1 on the way up to the Black Horse).
2. The Botolph Arms just a stones throw from where the Luego's where born on the old oundle road. Once again more of your salt of the earth but again cheap and cheerful, its on the left just before the crossroads before the botolph bridge where you turned into the old industrial estate.
3. For the hardcore using Taxis go into charters. A converted grain barge which has a nice thai above it and a real good real ale bar below stocked with Oakham ales finest. You might even bump into Matt and his dad. Definetly one for the taxi as the ale is 4 units a pint. Don't drink the rainbow yawn !

As a yokel am able to provide a 3m x 9m gazebo to add a certain cachet to the brand if required/shelter from seasonal monsoon/unseasonal tropical sun.

Right, I have just spoken to John Cooke as regards to access to the show site. The Peterborough show site will be open from 11:00(am) on the Friday for manufacturers and clubs etc (I presume this to include kit cars) for setting up for the weekend.

Er yes, Sorry Freudian slip, I was a little tired when I posted, having been up since 21:30 on Sunday and not having had any food since 22:00 due to fasting blood test. I shall now edit post.

Is that Friday?

Ok so progress seems to be getting on, I WILL be at the show, dragging a trailer behind me so you can all have (delete as applicable) a good laugh/good cry/good ragging at my efforts so far. I will also attend with a shopping list. There are things that I would like to get finished/tidied up before getting there but I can/will only get done what I have time for. Soooo much to do so little time. As far as I know there will be me & the good lady plus the 2 little ones. We might have a friend of my sons in tow as well.
So as I said before lets have a great show.

JGG.

Hope to get there Sunday..

Just arrived home from Cornwall... Dead tired. Need to sort the caravan out and fully arrive home first.

Should make Sunday. weather permitting.
