Beltring 2009

[James Baxter]

Hanno,

Many thanks for interest and your suggestions. I will arrange with the organisers to put a Canadian Vehicle section into the arena events programme.

I agree most people like to camp with their vehicles, and their friends, but there might be enough CMP types who camp together in one location, which could then perhaps become Camp Canada, with other CMP owners parking their vehicles there each nmorning, and returning to their camping location in the evening. It would also ensure we had as many vehicles as possible in one place ready for the arena event.

Any thoughts from others welcome.

Plus we can take tours keeping an eye on our vehicles, kit, etc, and be present to talk to the public to increase awareness, show the vehicles etc. Sounds like it could work! But you have to be early to claim an area for such a display.

I have booked space with War & Peace organisers for 'Camp Canada', and a couple of slots on the arena events for Canadian vehicles. All we need now is to get the vehicles together.

James,
Just re-read your thread on Beltring 2009, I reckon the idea of a Canadian camp is just brilliant. Therefore, let's get the ball rolling, I intend to bring my 1942 C30 LAAT to Beltring this year, so count me in !. I'm sure I can get some of the Oxford CMP group to support me. Come on guys, let's go for it

Keith,

Many thanks for your response, and enthusiasm for the Camp Canada.

It would be good to start to get some idea of how many people/vehicles would be interested in displaying their vehcles in there so that i can make sure we have enough space.

If there are others out there interested, throw yout hats (or CMPs) in the ring and let me know.
Cheers
James
