Well over the forum there has been much talk of a carrier get togther at the W&P show ( Beltring) this year. As some of you know i have a very prominent pitch at the show. I will be planing my display area over the next month, so with that in mind I would like to make the offer to forum memebers to hold the get together on my pitch. You can park your carrier on pitch all week, i also have a very large tent (18x24) for use a social area . There is always a brew on but bring your own cake !

Those of us who met up last year had a good chuckle and play.

I will be taking 2 carriers, please let me know if anyone wishes to take up the offer.

Shaun,

I would like to bring one carrier and I am sure Malcolm Caley would bring his this year. I am booking the time off work today for the week.

cheers Kevin.

Hi Kein, i will lean on Malcolm to bring his as well, i have know him 20 years so he should be OK TO leave it with us looking after it if he did not want to stay down all week. What are you doing for transport ? Mark can get 2 carriers on his rigid.

So thats 4 .

what dates does it fall on this year ?

EDIT: its the 18th - 22nd July

I can make the 18th and 19th (leave on the evening of the 19th or first thing on the 20th) wont have carrier though which is a shame....i have to be realistic thoug i just cant afford to shuttle it down there this year all be it, it will be running by then i promise. I cant take any time off in this month thanks to the Olympics..(big demand for brick layers)

i would most likely take the train....anyone able to pick me up at the station down there

Shaun, Speak to Malcolm as he might have something lined up for transport.

Anyone know what the Aussi record is for carrier in one place?.

kevin.

Ok Will do. Im fine for transport just thinking of you guys.

I can remember seeing 13 lined up in an old copy of CMV i think.

Richie , i will save a bed space in the visitors tent for you, you will not want to go home on the evening of the 19th !! best plan to leave on the 20th from the start. Plenty of opertuanties to crew one of mine mate, you never know seeing as you have your "H" i may even let you be my driver for an arena run. Just pack the right uniform (not your normal "builders" one ! "

Richard, This must be you then, practicing for the Olympics! images.jpg

We will also be at W&P with the Carrier.

Shaun, you might want to check with Nigel about the Carrier get together. Last show he intended to talk to Rex about getting support from the show for transport or maybe petrol compensation. Make it a huge record breaking attempt that would be interesting for the organizers to advertise. Invite former crew to come and see etc.

Cheers,

Andrew i didnt mean it like that buddy... if it was all carriers including Loyd i think we could muster up a record or two !

Marc where did you find that picture of me ? if someone paid me to bring mine down that would be some incentive to get it done and running before June

Andrew you can sharew the tent with me... i dont bite very hard when i cuddle up...
