bishbosh Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 As Steve has moved his East Anglia day to April, how about a meet in the South West for a punch challenge in Jan / Feb? We did one last year that went down well, and Tony's birthday bash was a great success so how about it? Unfortunately, I cannot offer to organise this time due to other pressures but it isn't hard to do, so any takers? BTW, I have our resident Jonathan "I stand up to change the oil" Fearn available to set out punches, which can be as easy or difficult (or both) as we please. So whaddyathink?

will_warne Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Bish, can you tentitivly pop me down for it? I was planning to do Muddy Truckers (the weekend before) but I don't think it'll happen this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JST Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 11/12 Mar sounds good. So we have a date, any news on venue? HH and Pugwash had a couple of ideas/thoughts on the Exmoor trip, anything forthcoming? Bish - you bringing it all together?? If its on the Sat, which is good for post fixing and cleaning, it does make setting it up a little harder (eg the Fri!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 Despite my original post it looks like I will be co-ordinating to a certain extent. I am NOT organising as that introduces insurance and liability issues. We'll go for the Saturday 11th March. I would personally prefer to try a new venue so if Luvvers or Pugwash have some ideas then let's hear them. Fruity - can you confirm availabilty for punches etc? I am willing to take the Friday off if you want to set up the day before...? So far we have (in no particular order): Bishbosh JST TJ101 Pugwash Will Warne (tentative..... ) Dunsterhybrid White90 SiWhite Exmoor Beast (yeah right!! Like he's not going to cancel ) Turbocharger V8 Camel (novice class only ) Nigel Webber and I reckon it's about time Dave Lang (landrover598) crossed the boarder too......) So twelve vehicles so far and looking good. As far as format goes I think it should be up to the attendees - Do we want a two car team format? Do we want a limit on the number of winches in a team? Do we handicap the points scored based on lockers / winches? Personal preference is two vehicle teams with no penalties and no winch limit but I don't want people to feel it is going to be competitive - it is you against the terrain that's all IMHO. Small teams just means the vehicles tend to spread out a bit better rather than having four or five cars nose to tail in one corner of the site. That's OK at Seven Sisters but I don't think we'll have a site even a fraction that size! The floor is open - let's hear your comments.

landrover598 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 and I reckon it's about time Dave Lang (landrover598) crossed the boarder too......)
