    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.







    I cannot thank you enough kind sir.

    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...
    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.

    Cheers all!
    Niek

    Then the rain really made a difference to the scene, and we were very happy that we made the decision to move our tent...

    Friday evening, pre-decision...



    4:30am Saturday morning, Hobbit standing where our tent was...



    Sinky loon-a-que



    Q: How does PNG cope with flooding? A: Move loon-a-que and spark it up



    And then back to the Novas starting with reflective NovaFun...

    Saturday summed up:

    Fields turned to rivers...



    We think because of this...



    The ducks became our neighbours...



    Some were lucky...



    Others were not so fortunate...





    We felt for the guys running the Auto Jumble









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



    We found things to amuse ourselves...
