I virtually live in the park so it would be rude not to!
Who else is coming along?
-
I'm going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Nice one, are you just up for the day or staying the night somewhere?
-
Don't know to be honest Jim, i'm still in 2 minds, my other half and the kids were coming, but they've decided not to now!!! ;D I think i may come up the night before! wheres everyone staying? It's ok Jim, i know you only live a stone throw away! Are you going to be meeting up for a few beverages the night before?
-
I'll be there. Running the Chemspec stand. Believe theres a barby on at the campsite on the Friday night. John Bridon will be there so any donations can be given to him on the day. Jamie at CSUK will know better. Staying at Kettering Travel Lodge Friday & Saturday as are a few others I believe.
-
Just wondering if you have to be a member of NCCA to go to the carnival?
We're not (yet) but will be soon hopefully. Looks like a good chance to look at products and meet people......
-
Its open to anyone. Contact the NCCA for tickets.
-
I'm using my phone at the moment, could someone just fill me in on where it is and when?
-
Thanks John, see you there then ;D
-
I am there. Helping John at the Chemspec stand. We will be camping and have BBQ and Beer!
-
Not decided which night for BBQ yet. Most likely Friday and Saturday too!
-
Think i might make be able to make this.
-
How far is Kettering travel lodge from wisksteed please?
-
philip i think it is about a mile away but as the lodge is alongside a dual carriageway it is slightly longer one way as you have to travel a couple of miles to the right exit though i am sure jim can explain better than me.

Philip, best way to get from the travelodge to the park is to fly along to Junc.8, turn back on yourself and come off at J9 (by the cinema/Tesco). Unfortunately although it's less than a mile in a straight line, you're stranded on the wrong side of a dual carriageway to make it easy to walk between hotel/park!
You could do a very long way round walking but it would probably takes ages and not be very safe. A taxi should cost £6-£8 at a rough guess.
Billy, it would be rude not to have a few beers! If people want to meet somewhere quite close to the venue and travelodge (where it seems most are staying), my local watering hole is very close indeed.
Or I'll come down to the park if the BBQ idea is a goer.
Ash, it's on the 17th Sept in Kettering, about 45 mins east of Birmingham from you
-
Sunderland playing Stoke at home so I'm out

Has anyone got a Flexi-5 and/or a hard floor spinner like an sx-12 or similar, that they would be willing to bring up for me to have a demo? I would like to have a bit of a play with both tools before purchasing. I'd ply you with beer to return the favour :)
-
I can bring an SX12 and an SX7 for you.
Sold my Flexi5 the other day to someone desperate for one who cant wait on the new updated ones coming in.
-
I havent got anything to plug it into tho so bring your truck.
-

didn't know you was a hobo gym, lol ;D
-
Derek, it should be
"Didn't know you were a hobo"
When will you learn tsk tsk..
-
Nice one Jamie... but would you mind if I took them off-site for a couple of hours? My mum's kitchen floor needs the tile & grout doing, I have been saving the job until I get a demo of a spinner, it's been filthy for weeks!!
I didn't know there was a new flexi-5 model coming out? what is different? was there a problem with the old design?
-
Derrick havent we done the hobo joke before ???
-
No problem. Mine is one of the first SX12s about 7 or 8 years old but you wont notice the difference.
I also have the Gekko edge and small area tool which I will bring.
We will be leaving after the carnival on Saturday so you could collect Friday night if you fancy some BBQ and beer then drop back to us Saturday afternoon.
-
I cant remember exactly whats being changed on the Flexi 5 but it is having some mods done.
Never had a problem with my one in all the years I have had it. Great piece of machinery.
-
What kind of floor does she have?
-
Think the new one is direct drive as opposed to belts.
-
Ahhh thanks JK ;) I guess that's going to give it more torque? Maybe help stop it slipping if it encounters too much resistance? Is that a known problem with the existing model?
Jamie that's damn decent of you, yeah sure chuck the gecko in and the sx-7 as well...might as well give them a whirl!
It's a porcelain tiled floor, pretty standard stuff. I've cleaned it a few times during its life so have a good benchmark to go by.
I'll brink you a decent drink down to go with the BBQ, what's your poison? :D
-
i think jamie drinks this stuff
Domaine Leflaive Montrachet Grand Cru, Cote de Beaune
you'll have to google it to find out the price. ;D
-
I am of the Grand Cru now Derek. It doesn't mix well with irn-bru.
-

Cheap plonk! I'll bring a dozen bottles :D
OK Jamie I'll bring a family sized bottle of 'bru just for you ;)
-
Cheers Jim. Irn-Bru has to be from a glass bottle though. Not sure if its sold that way in Englandshire.
-
Haha getting picky now!! OK I'll see what I can do, I take it you're a non-drinker then? No buckfast required? ;D
-
I actually only drink Jagermeister. Only thing that doesnt give me a hangover.
-
Christ, Jager is the one drink that has been responsible for some of the most horrific hangovers I've ever had ;D
Mind you that is through doing jager-bombs!
Right, big bottle of Jagermeister it is then!
I actually really like it mixed with diet coke, makes a fantastic long drink with plenty of ice. I suppose you have it with Irn Bru ? ;)
-
Neat is the only way.
-
*bows down*
wow, hardcore! :D
-
Every thing ready to be loaded up for my trip with our Craig Manson to this tomorrow. Who's joining us Friday night on campsite? I will be on 07889413028 for anyone trying to find us. All welcome. Be nice to get some faces for all these names.
Jamie.
-
Too busy to make it , have to finish my supermarket sweep.
Do enjoy meeting up with guys off here, wont miss Billy and Derek arguing over who's got the biggest blower !! ::)
Will make sure i get to the TACCA crimbo party at Dereks though ;D
Hope you all have a good time,
Andrew
-
Yep me too. Out on another job now and not back till late, so i will miss it. Have a good time guy's.
-
I'll be missing it too if the Mrs takes much longer to get ready..
-
i know the feeling, be much easier if the house had a towbar on it, 1 night away and half the house in the car, god help us when we eventually go on holiday. ;D
-
And we got to the services on the m42 and realised we've left the little uns overnight bag behind!
-
Made it to Kettering Travelodge, is everyone having an early night or what?
