WAHOO! :cool::D

It's that time of year again and this year I reckon this would make a fantastic group outing :cool:

I went last year (James Bond Theme) and this was the best fireworks display I've *ever* seen, and believe me, I've seen a few ;):D Even better than the Sheffield Don Valley and Leeds Castle ones which were also fantastic :)

The theme for this year is 'The Magic Of The Movies' and will feature music from such blockbuster films as Apollo 13, Harry Potter, Spiderman and Star Wars - The Phantom Menace :cool:

I've managed to get us a whole £1 off (yeah, yeah, the negotiation course is booked, but at least that will pay for your candy floss ;):D) if we get 15 or more coming, but that is an equivalent to £2.50 on the day - and that's alot of Candy floss :p Adults are £6 and kids £3, entry includes the motor museum before 3pm and there's a traditional English Fair there too...this is a good one for all the family and all you lot who aren't based in Hampshire :)

the programme:

(already getting a little over-excited! :cool::D)

Yay - can I go on Wheels again? ;):D

Chris

Wow! sounds awesome!

By theme, what does that mean? Will there be little Harry Potters walking around?

Hopefully not! ;) It's just the music that the fireworks are set off too and, if it's like last year, the actual fireworks will have a link with the film, eg Diamonds are Forever they set off the fireworks to form diamonds.

Just read that back - does that make any sense at all?! ;):D Sure Jen will be able to explain it better :)

Chris

:cool: can I come dressed as a stormtrooper ;) :D

Jen

YHM

Stevie, you've been working too hard mate! ;):D

I think Chris explanined it quite well :D The music and the fireworks are all themed...simple really:D

...and Steve - I would *pay* to see you go to that event dressed as a Storm Trooper!! :cool: lol! :D

Stuart - can't access it from here, but I promise I'll read it later :)

So come on the rest of you - you get the Motor Museum, the fair, the fireworks and bonfire and the chance to spend an evening talking abot Scoobs! :cool: Bargin at twice the price ;):D

Jen

Cool, I will book it off work tomorrow (cos I guaran-dam-tee you I am scheduled to work that day!:)).


StevieB - LMAO! Do it mate! If you do.....I may be tempted too!......


....err actually....thinking about it......:)

jen

put me down for this please

2 Adults & 2 kids (kids are 4 & 2, I take it they're free)

cheers
chris

Yup - you're right Chris - Child prices apply for 5 - 17 :cool: (under 5's free...)

Reib, look forward to seeing you and Stevie in the Storm troopers outfits! lol! ;):D

Stuart had a good point, family tickets (2 childs and 2 adults) are £20 at the lowest cost, so it would be cheaper to get the group rate :)

Jen

LOL @ Stevie - It's worth driving up from Somerset just to see Steve dressed up as a StormTrooper !! :D;)

Definately worth the drive! lol! :D

....go on Stevie - tell us you've already go the outfit ;):D

Star Wars theme anyone? Jen, you could go as Leia, and I could go as C3PO ;)

Note to self - must get out more! :D:D

Chris

Steve,

I've got a replica StormTrooper helmet you can borrow :-)

lol @ Mark! :D

Rescued from page 3! :eek::(

This is a really good event guys, btw - Stuart - Cheque recieved, I'll bank it once I've booked the tickets if that's ok? (planning on booking Tuesday the 14th) :)

Jen

il take 2 adult tickets

Ive got two danish pastries to complete the Leia™ look.
:D

as an aside, will they section us a wee bit of car park if we get numbers?

Dont want to upset regular punters with my burning clutch smell y`see;)

lol! :D

It would be nice if they did, but to be honest - I don't even want to ask! Last year was MASSIVE, we arrived early and there was queue's of cars as far as the eye could see. They had it organised as a military operation and as long as we all arrive together they will put us together :) It was at capacity last year though :cool:

Symon - no problem, not long now ;):D

I'll be collecting money etc. at the Monday meet - again, cheques etc. won't be cashed until I've got all the tickets so no danger off loosing your money :)

:p




































sorry, wrong forum:rolleyes:

Ticket's booked :cool::D

Will be sending tickets out in the post for Peanuts and Martine, Stuart and his family and Simon +4...I'd be grateful if you could Peanuts and Symon could drop me a line with an address I can post the tickets to :)

That way you can all arrive whatever time you like for the Motor Museum and Abbey/Fiar ground etc. (those with Littlies may want to arrive a bit nearer the fireworks time) and maybe we can meet up to watch the fireworks? :cool: Let me know what you think :)

Jen

Jen,

Thanks for organising this. :) I think we will get there for 3 as my boys (8 and 7) will love the motor musuem.

Stuart

Hi guys - spoke to Beaulieu today as I still hadn't recieved the tickets, they apparently posted them on the 15th but will leave some at there reception for me to pick up tomorrow.

Soooo, I will pick them up tomorrow and they will be appearing (hand delivered :)) to you homes either tomorrow night or Friday night (or afternoon if I can think of a reason for a long site visit ;) :D only joking, honest!) :D Sorry for the delay.

Andy - can you send me your address?

NOT LONG TO GO NOW! :D

If anyone wants to meet up, I'll be at the bonfire at 6:30/6:45 onwards (in my Subaru fleece! :cool: ;):D) and then we can all meet to watch the fireworks and have a chat about Scoobs etc? :)

Jen

P.S. Stuart - YHM, Might have to arrange to meet you there at 3 with your tickets as High Wycombe is quite a long way! lol! :)

Jen,

Lisa and myself may be coming along now, as we are heading off to Scotland Sunday morning so will still be around. Are you all meeting up for a drive down or doing your own thing?

Steve

Hiya Steve! :)

I think the plan is to all do our own thing until about 6:30/6:45ish when we're meeting by the bonfire...that way those who want to look around the abbey/motor museum etc. can and those that don't don't have to and can turn up any time they like :)

...at least I think that's the plan :D

Jen

Im going to this with my wife and daughter. Will look out for you all. Am getting there at some point in the PM to look around museum. Anyone know what time this is open until ?

Look out for us, Black 03'STI PPP. :)

Hiya Ralf :) (nice car! :cool::D)

We should be pretty easy to spot, I'll be in my Subaru Fleece and Steve should be wearing a storm troopers outfit ( ;):D)...Will be there sometime in the PM to, the Abbey House is open 'till 5pm (which is lovely) and the museum is open all the time, so there's plenty of time to look around :cool:

Well worth a visit on it's own and the fireworks are *excellent* :D Look forward to meeting you all...

Jen

P.S. Symon (and maybe Andy!) tickets will be delievered tonight, had a *massive* headache last night :( Sorry...

Andy - if you still want tickets can you drop me a line with your home address in so I can drop them off? Either that or I can arrange to meet you outside Beaulieu with them at a set time? :)

Thanks

Jen
