First off really sorry for waking people up but as the river had just started to burst its banks we thought you should have the chance to make your own decision. I hate being woken up in the morning so felt really guilty going round the tents this morning. Not that TeddyThom even stirred! lol Hopefully a bit of grub on the loon-a-que softened the blow.

Thanks for everyone that came, the club would be nothing without you guys, you did the club proud by helping each other out and keeping a brave face on things. Was great to meet some new faces, hopefully no one was put off and hope to see you next year, and as for the die hard bunch I know I will :)

Finally can we keep the complaints to the other threads, would be nice to salvage something good and not turn this thread into a complete bitch fest, aslo those seeking refunds can find more info HERE ( http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthread.php?188301-VBOA-Billing-2012-Refunds)

Good to meet you today Hobbitt,

Well 747 miles later I have been and returned lol

All I can say is I felt for all those in tents as when we arrived on Friday it was torrential rain then later at 3 am it done it again, the staff at Billing were very helpfull when we booked out,

Here's hoping next year will be better

130 miles there, throttle jammed open half way down (much fun with a paranoid dog and no faith in the car as it was) but made the rest of the journey fine, arrived at one, set up my tent on "the island", walked, talked, slept, woken up at five with an "Asa, you need to see this..."

left at 1 pm, 24 hours after arriving, stopped for an hour's kip on the way back, and then saw off two rep-mo-biles on the M6, the SRi picks up speed very very well.

roll on next year!

in the words of Nieck ,"at least we have a story to tell!"

I was very lucky to get round Friday night to get some pics of the Novas on our stand before the carnage - plus the convoy up playing Nova Nova Beamer Polo lol

As I have nothing much on today now I shall get them up later or tomorrow...

The weather was utterly bad. But despite all the drama, there was some good news...

Mr. Bazil from oop norrf brought me a present that made me a very, very happy man.
Proper Irn Bru in glass bottles. The best a man can get. :thumb::thumb::thumb:

I cannot thank you enough kind sir. :d

As for the washed out event... it was a major downer for both organisers and participants. There's already talk on BaceFook about re-doing the VBOA event at Trax. Now that would be something... lol
Horrid weather aside, it was good to meet up with fellow members (mr. Lee, mr. Hobbit, mr. Parker and everyone else) and have some witty banter all round. :)

Also massive thanks to mr. Vlietje for putting up with me once again and driving me around Britain without a single complaint, despite nearly destroying the cake you bought for your little girl. You are a hero. :d

Cheers all!
Niek

Saturday summed up:

Fields turned to rivers...

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p72/wiggardywoo/VBOA%202012/_MG_1144_1.jpg

We think because of this...

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p72/wiggardywoo/VBOA%202012/_MG_1143_1.jpg

The ducks became our neighbours...

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p72/wiggardywoo/VBOA%202012/_MG_1085_1.jpg

Some were lucky...

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p72/wiggardywoo/VBOA%202012/_MG_1134_1.jpg

Others were not so fortunate...

Despite it all their spirits were high, some were still trying to sell a panel or 2 from between the rivers

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p72/wiggardywoo/VBOA%202012/_MG_1123_1.jpg

We found things to amuse ourselves...

The Sport spent most of the time sat on the hard standing next to the caravan. Wish I had not gone that way as I got a load of mud in the arches. Jet washed it off once I was home though. First time its got wet for about 20 years apart from washing it lol

First off really sorry for waking people up but as the river had just started to burst its banks we thought you should have the chance to make your own decision. I hate being woken up in the morning so felt really guilty going round the tents this morning. Not that TeddyThom even stirred! lol Hopefully a bit of grub on the loon-a-que softened the blow.

Thanks for everyone that came, the club would be nothing without you guys, you did the club proud by helping each other out and keeping a brave face on things. Was great to meet some new faces, hopefully no one was put off and hope to see you next year, and as for the die hard bunch I know I will :)

Finally can we keep the complaints to the other threads, would be nice to salvage something good and not turn this thread into a complete bitch fest, aslo those seeking refunds can find more info HERE (http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthread.php?188301-VBOA-Billing-2012-Refunds)

I sleep like a log mate, I also had the best spot and wasn't even worried about the floods in the field except for when I had to get the Nova off, which I did with no issues whatsoever. The nearest my tent got to being flooded was a small corner sitting in the river attempt that was sitting behind it lol I have a picture somewhere let me find it.

EDIT: this is the river behind my Nova and my tent:
http://i789.photobucket.com/albums/yy173/teddythom/406fc8a4.jpg

Nice to finally put some faces (and voices lol) to names, I enjoyed myself, and managed to get something to eat off the loon-a-que, which I have wanted to do ever since I first see it here on the forums lol.

Shame I somehow managed to miss bazil though, I have a funny feeling that is going to be an expensive mistake lollol

Roll on next year!

Hi girls and boys, now we 're at home, too.

it was my first show in billing and i must say, it's completly different of our shows in germany and i like it. nice talks about the car and a lot of excelent cars.

it's too bad that one night killed the show. on saturday and sunday the weather was ok. :(

But we make the best of it and so we take a loot of picture about steve's tr and thomy's michalak.

Ok, we don't want to be hungry, we have enough for all of us. ;)

Was that the real reg of the foreign saloon?

Yeah Burgo,
The reg is real!. The guys came from Coburg, Germany (Bavaria region) for this years show.
We've been parking together when at the Opel-Treffen Oschersleben show in Germany for the last couple of years.
They wanted to see what a UK show was like. Not 100% sure, but I think we haven't put them off for next year. They enjoyed themselves, but had a few issues while over here with the car in the UK, and glad to see friendly faces and have a few beers together, then the show gets cancelled. We made the best of it and still had a good time despite the weather.

Here's my pics from Billing. Didn't take many from the Mk1oc stand as I'd normally do.
