Who's going there this weekend? I'm hoping to go up there with Ian Sadler but if he can't make it then I may drive up on my own.

 

Hoping to go if the weather's OK - and if I get my motor 'done' by then....

Mark

PS _ Spectating only

 

We'll be there Paul supporting the Cossie team Andy isn't competing this year, so our neighbour has taken his place

Will be camping night before too.

 

I think I'll be travelling up Sunday morning now though

 

i'm there

 

Paul - I'm there, Paul can you get over to Gossy's and bring my LINK up to the event?

 

Hi Rich

I guess I can get up there tomorrow if he's there. Isn't Gossy going?

Paul

 

I'd presumed he was working

 

Give him a bell and let me know when to go up to his house and tell him what to give me then drop me a PM Does your number still end 431?

 

One of them does...

 

I still have that number then on my old phone. I'll give you my new number via PM when you have spoken to Gossy

 

Paul,

I'm still not sure whats happening this w/e.

I'll let you know soon.

 

Hi Ian

I'm heading up there on Sunday anyway with Goldie so it's up to you if you can make it or not.

Paul

 

What time do the gates open ?

 

No idea but I'm getting there at about 10 I guess.

 

im giving this one a miss.. promised the kiddie a day (non car related)and forgot entirely about TOTB - doh

 

9

 

Thank You

 

aiming to get there for 10 to 10:30, slow crusie up with a mate and aim to spend the day chillin' and enjoying ourselves so if you see two blokes that look very similar, one of them will be me, the other one will be my mate (and no, we are not related).

I know it might seem a daft question, but....
what are the 'facilities' like at TOTB ? - I.e. the Loos for the ladies ? I don't think Jayne will go if its portaloos, so she'll probably stay at home......

Ta,

Mark

 

Afraid they are Portaloos

 

No surprise reallly - thanks,

Mark

 

And last year they were p!ssing out all over the place Not nice

 

Sounds even more inviting

 

So it's 9 o'clock at the gates. Anybody know what time the festivities begin?

Also, does anyone know how much it is for spectators, will there be food facilities, any trade stands etc. I've had a lot of people asking me.

The totb website is pretty poor, and there isn't a lot of information on it.

 

Think its 20 quid each at the gate.... Not sure on the rest though - Can't argue about the website - its v. sparse on information...

 

Its £20 on the Gate, racing gets under way at 10 or 10:30. There is food, and this year there are supposed to be some trade stands.

 

I'll pop over and say Hi
