Newark 2011

Hi all,

I know, it is a bit early, but I'd like to start planning next year's holydays pretty early due to a hectic work situation (if I still have a job next year ...). So, when will next year's Newark meet take place, as I'd like to visit (and even the missus has shown an interest! ).

Regards,

Wim

 

OK, Wim...

For the past few years, the Newark Meet has been held on the weekend after the UK Late Spring Bank Holiday. In 2011, the LSBH is the 30th May so that would mean the Newark weekend would be the 4th/5th of June.

BUT (and notice it's a BIG but) at Newark last year, Ross was talking of postponing the meet by a week for 2011. I've heard nothing since then, one way or the other. I suggest you send a PT direct to Ross and find out what his thoughts are on this.

Wouldn't like you to turn up a week early!!

 

Thanks David! (I could do the lawn while waiting for everyone else to turn up ). First or second weekend is fine for me, no-one else at work is going to have their holidays that early. If nothing else stops me, I'll be there (chorus)!

All the best,

Wim

 

Hi Wim,

Look forward to meeting you! Are you planning to come by Ambulance?

Cheers, Graham.

 

Hi Graham, I've been thinking of taking the Old Lady (no, I'm not talking about the missus here! ) with me, after all it's very handy to sleep in! But she's in need of some urgent cosmetic care ( needs some de-rusting and a good respray + new rubbers for doors & windows). There are a few other jobs waiting to be done, but maybe.... 8)

All the best,

Wim

 

Hi,
I'll post more later but for now the date is 10-12 June although I expect folk turning up from 8th or 9th

 

Hey Wim,

I don't know if you ever have been to the Newark event before, but it will be my 4th time around next year and I can say that you won't regret comming.

I sure am looking forward to meeting you as I will be there also. Even my gf showed interrest of comming a 2nd time around. She can't stop talking about Henry... don't know if that is a good or bad thing though

Anyway, looking forward to meet a stovie who lives a bit closer to home, yet from a different country

 

Hi Arjan, it would be my first "Newark" and I really hope nothing will stop me from coming! We've just spend 5 days in The Netherlands (Texel) and coming home ran into one of your famous traffic congestions! 3 and a half hours of (dead)slow traffic..... Mind, last february it took me over 8hours to travel from Dover to Manchester, this used to be a 4-5hour trip .
Anyway, I'm looking forward to meet all you good people next summer!

All the best,

Wim

 

I will do everything I can to be there.

 

Is 10-12 june THE date? This so I can go and plan my vacation.

 

Yes - those are the dates. I'll add info to the site in the next few weeks but it's the usual script!

 

Will we be trying to beat our record for the qty of 111s this year?

 

Forgive me please as I am a reletively new stovie. Is the Newark meet in Newark, Nottinghamshire UK or Newark USA or Newark elsewhere?? I need to know if I am to book a bus, train or a flight! If Nottingham I can stay with No1 Daughter, if USA I will have to commute from Cincinnati, if elsewhere I will just rough it with my old best Arctic sleeping bag! Regards Steve.

 

Nottinghamshire! I'll hopefully put the final info up tomorrow. Look forward to seeing you!

 

awmygawd what did I do

 

Will you be making an appearance at Newark this year, Henry?

Less than 3 months to go...

 

I'm certainly planning to be there.
As I've retired I also plan to make it a long one

 

Have not seen any further info on Newark yet. Am I missing a link somwhere? Never been before so need to know venue Postcode or address and details like, can I camp there, facilities etc.

Looking froward to it - Steve.

 

Hi Steve - I got a bit behind but it's all going up this weekend.

 

Thanks, going to try hard to be there. Steve.
