Yes lads are on 30 ish and simply Subaru have not registered yet but last year they had only 24 cars along woth tts/cS with 20 cars each so defently NESF is going to be the biggest stand there so we are planning the layout at our next committee meeting on the 27th so we will gave you plenty space

Cheers john....

As I think I've said somewhere else, add your name to OUR list as I check it every day. Then from time to time i update the main Scoobynet thread as appropriate.

Keith (Lines) said he'd do the bbq - has food etc been organised, or aren't we doing it?

Sorry I can't take it on as I don't know if I will be there unfortunately as I am going into hospital for an operation on the 12th and not sure if I'll be in a fit state

Nothings been discused yet nic..maybe could have a chat at the next meet...

Yeah - wish I could help but won't be able to, sorry

If i'm feeling ok, I'll knock a couple of cakes up to send with Paul lol

Funnily enough I was going to post up about food and beverage arrangements. I think the first year I went Caryn organised a BBQ and it was pretty decent. If we've got any BBQ experts they'd be more than welcome, as I dont think there are any restrictions to speak of. I'm sure people would chuck in a few quid for supplies.

Yeah Caryn, Marsha and me were feeding peeps and it was great - so a good idea if peeps are willing to help

Just given His Lordship another headache and upped our allocation to 50 cars. I'll have to take him a box of nurofen at this rate.

Come on boys n girls, just how many can we mobilise in the name of the good ship NESF ????

I will help where I can. Im sure a few more will raise their hands...lol

I would just like to thank you all guys for the massive 50 planned for your display

I am at this moment slightly worried about overall attendance figures as most clubs seem to be down 10 cars per club but your up from last year !!

As this will be my 1st NBO what's the format for this, does each club have a theme for there stand, if so what's the NESF theme for this year.

I think the nbo could be descused at the next meet and the ideas etc put up on herecheers

nesf's moderators are in control this year

i have nominated KGT too organise the theme

Isn't the theme the same as last year? Its a Members club so all members on the club stand? None of this... Your car doesn't fit the theme so park in the middle bollocks!!

Anyone who's got their name down on the attendees thread is expected to be on the club stand, whether the car is concourse show and shine standard or a bit of a shed, dragging its arse on the ground with a smashed splitter and a dried fly collection

That will probs be me "dragging its arse on the ground with a smashed splitter"

Well its time for the first NBO 10 thread !!! as its only 2 weeks to go to the big day !
