treebloke Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Hi Bob, It was whitbread offroad that were selling the disco protection, if you give malcom a ring on 01570 421427 he will be able to sort you out with a kit, Ah yes, thinking about I did see a couple of his trucks knocking about around there, just looked on his web site but didn't see anything so will give him a call later.

GBMUD Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I am sure the site will drain as quickly as it floods, it just depends on the weather between now and then. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonr Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'll be there - just I'll be unpopular with my Wife for a while. It does mean both Nick & I can now be at both Billing and King of the Valleys rather than us each attending one. I bet Neil Whitford will be Mr Smiley today! Bowy - see you at KoV. We can compare interesting beer! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 For those of you who have a spare weekend now that Billing Land Rover Show has been postponed - have you thought about coming along to the King of the Valleys at Walters Arena, South Wales. A few more marshals are always useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

najw Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 We are currently making extra provision at KoV for anyone who wishes to relocate from drowned Billing to sunny Wales. We have capacity for a number of Vendors and have found additional camping and parking space for spectators. Bear in mind however that this is not a showground but a reclaimed coalmine. The camping will be flat and there will be toilets, caterer, licensed bar, live band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

task Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 We're at a loose end now Billing is moved, KoV certainly looks tempting although I don't know much about the challenge scene anything involving tents/landrovers/beer looks of interest. I'd be up for some green-lanes too but it'd be in my Discovery as the Series 3 is currently off the road So do we just appear as a spectator? I've got Thur/Fri off work so could appear Thursday afternoon? I also have no aversion to work if anyone needs a hand on one of the days with marshalling etc then please let me know!

landroversforever Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'm sure more marshalls will be greatly appreciated, Setting up on thursday I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend (isaac90) and I are driving down on the Thursday night so will be there all day Friday. We may see you on the way down! Marshall briefing is at 17.00 on the Friday, Setting up is on the Friday daytime I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
task Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I'm from Derby or Wirksworth, depending on what day it is That'd be good, I have Thur/Fri off so will head down around lunch on Thur, I really want to get the Series 3 finished for this but I think that's going to be a big ask so I'll either be in the Discovery or the CSK I'd be up for some greenlanes on the Friday.
