Billing 2010

Interesting,
landyrally wouldnt be down as they arnt officially booked in but i should be on there as i have been booked in for weeks

Near to River Road I see, the grey roadway bottom of the plan - good position Kieran! As you say, Landy Rally is only an extension of the Free Spirit 4x4 stand so hardly surprising it's not there, but Free Spirit 4x4 should definitely be on that list, it's good advertising after all. Send them an email Kieran asking them to include FS4x4, as your "customers have been asking where you are on the plan?"

i have sent the email
doubtful anything will change though

Had a great weekend meeting some of this years entrants for Landy Rally. Great to put faces to the names. Also had some fun raising some money for Macmillan Thanks to Fred for allowing the children to pose on Tango 1 whilst Mum and Dad took photos, Miss Chesterfield for helping the cause and Sol who did a great job helping me with the Tombola and everyone who donated to the tombola.
Also like to thank Yoda for his supply of Vegetable soup. Not to mention his time spent sitting in the tent selling stickers etc etc and I hope Dilys is soon feeling better.

Lovely to see old friends from previous Landy Rally's as well.

Nice to see some more ex and new rallers.

hi, nice to meet some of you, and put faces to names,

We came up sunday, Mark and Kevin. Thanks for the chat and welcome, shame we couln't stay longer but we were only up the say hi.


See you all soon (well Sept)

Yep, good meet all around. Our little party Sunday night wasn't too shabby either - bed at 7am Monday!!!

As you say, see Mark/Kevin in September, hopefully complete with a flagon of scrumpy for our Dutch friends to sample.

Scrumpy?, What should that be? Is it dangerous?

Living in the area it is made, I'm sure the Bristol Stags team will explain - but even I know the difference between the Westons cider I brought over to you on the recee and scrumpy cider is immense.

One pint and you know you've had a drink, two and you're drunk, three and you're staggering, four and the legs stop working altogether! Yes, it's special ... and lethal!!!

Definitely not to be recommended the morning after !

Better pack the headache pills !

A stomach pump would be more useful.

I know after your legs don't function anymore: take another drink. It sure will come out spontaniously. Saves you a tube to swallow.
What percentage of alcohol is in it?

STRONG!

"Scrumpy sold commercially is typically between 6% and 9% ABV, but scrumpy can reach as much as 15%".

See www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A689060 for more info ... while your eyes can still focus.

Usefull info: espaccially beter drink scrumpy before beer
However as one is used to drink stronger stuff like whisky, were you could get in trouble then? Is it because it is a drink you'll drink like beer(or lemonade)?

That is precisely the point. People who don't realise how strong it is or even those who like strong larger will drink 2, 3 or 4 pints quite happily, until suddenly it hits them. It's like walking into a brick wall, so they often collapse when the legs stop working.

The locals find it highly amusing watching the tourists falling about the place, guess it's good game for them.

That's how we look to English folks getting beer in a Dutch bar, Especially some 20 years ago. Not used to the stronger beer overhere, most of them got very drunk. Since European beers are sold more over there, it looks the English are more used to it

More used to it? You wouldn't say that if you could see the state of the idiots in most English towns at 2am Sunday morning ... especially the women!

Keith has a hellava job keeping Sylvia upright and walking in a straight line at the weekend, suppose it's the same for Yoda with Dilys.

I'm surprised you can remember any 2:00am ,Tom and we oldies tend to be tucked up in our night attire long before that!!

you don't wanna see the streets at 2 am in Holland either.
Folks get very druk too, and really mad

Well instead of causing mayhem Jaap you should stay indoors like a good citizen!

Jaap - I think he tried that one whilst at Henks place as he woke most of us up at 4am and then 6am when helping quietly ( ) to pack up Marc and Amanda's tent !!

Guess too, didn't want to remind him of that.
can you believe i was stunned to hear him say he didn't visit all the bars in Valkenburg?

Failure I know, did make a pretty good effort though. Roll on 10th September for another attempt!
