I have a ticket that includes a passenger. As I won't have a passenger I can take somone else in if they don't have a ticket - as long as they have someone to give them a lift home!

I'll try and bring a big gazeebo to put in the centre of the tents so that we can shelter if the weather isn't kind to us. Bring a chair to sit on too!

If anyone has a big bbq then that might be an idea to bring, if the weather is really ruff then we can go to the local pub for a meal, but we can decide that on the day. We can get grub etc from the local supermarket if we decide to bbq.

I'm sure people won't need reminding but please behave as we won't be the only people on site (as the site is fully booked), and we'd like to be allowed back in future! By behave I mean no really loud music and drive sensibly as there are often kids about.

We have booked 9 pitches so if those who pitch up first leave space for us all to be roughly in a circle around the gazebo/bbq then we can all sit and drink and eat till the early hours as usual!

I dont think i can put my tent up before anyone else arives because ill need to borrow a mallet

Thats an affirmative on the requests

I will point out though that i am a diabetic on 4 injections a day. The reason im telling you this is because i have my injections at 8am, 12pm, 4pm and 10pm. I need to eat straight after the first 3 of the day so if i eat at 4pm i wont eat again till the next morning at 8am so please dont think im being funny if your all going for a pub dinner and i dont have anything to eat

Im not coming! My car started to act like a kangaroo again. There were sparks coming from the coil lead where it attaches to the dizzy cap. I went and bought some new ones, got home and the coil lead and number 4 lead were too short

The place i bought them from shuts at 1pm so i cant take them back and exchange them. Im so angry and peed off that its best i just shut myself in the house

couldnt you get down halfords or somewhere like that, i know its more money, but wait till monday and take the other set back to where you got them

or try cleaning up the coil where lead fits, and the end of the lead, then check it again.

if the sparks are coming from the lead itself and not the end then try using some insulating tape as a temporary measure
