Another bump as the clock ticks away.

Hoping for a good show of Monsters at this one. Please come along and say hello, if you don't want to be get embroiled with setting the stand up or even loitering around, just roll up with your Monster and regard it as VIP parking and helmet dump and enjoy the day.

Tell your mates with Monsters they can park on our lot too.. The more the merrier..

Room for one more, only have the 07 s4r on the road at the moment, the 900 is resting...

Mr Gazza · 20-08-2019, 06:33 PM

Yay!.. Be good to see you Ally. Pleased you are bringing the S4R.. That's one good looking motorbike..

Doggy · 20-08-2019, 08:36 PM

Is there a post code for this show?

Mr Gazza · 20-08-2019, 08:48 PM

Hello Colin, thinking of coming?

Postcode is PE34 3QH.. You can't miss it. it's the entire village of Wimbotsham and most of the outlying fields packed with rare and unusual bikes.. and some ordinary ones.

I tried to find their website, but they use faceplant now.. https://en-gb.facebook.com/pages/cat...-123462872212/

Depending on your eta, I'm up to meeting and guiding you to the show.
I'm planning on being one of the set up crew, so aiming to be in the show ground for 9am.

Mr Gazza · 20-08-2019, 10:38 PM

Just received an email from the Fenman ominously entitled "Final instructions"

Anyway the goalposts seem to have been moved from information I have had from them previously... Please note the new set-up times.

"This is a generic email sent to all Club Stands and Charity Stands

For this years show we have 3 areas for parking.

You are entered as a CLUB, when arriving at the booking in area on the village playing field please inform the gate staff you are a CLUB. This will speed up the parking process.

Paperwork - if you haven’t completed the booking forms yet, please either send back via email or bring on the day.

If you haven’t completed the forms when you arrive these will need to be completed before setup can commence. (If you have lost the forms they are attached again)

The address is for the show is

Village Playing field

Church road

Wimbotsham

Kings Lynn

Norfolk

PE34 3QB (closest postcode)

When you are approaching from A10 you will see the Fenman bike show signs.

If you follow them into the village you will find the playing field.

Arrivals for setup of Stand

You may arrive on Sunday afternoon from 2pm to 8pm to set up and you are welcome to stay on the field over night but please be advised we only have portaloos and access to drinking water. We have no power on site for general use.

If you arriving on Monday morning we are open from 6am to 8:30am - remember the show opens to the public at 9am.

NOTE TO BIKERS FOR CLUB STANDS

If you have riders coming to the stand they are welcome to arrive after the show starts but please let them know to ride slow on the show ground as the public are on the field.

As it’s for charity please remind bikers that it’s £5 to get in for each rider / passenger, which gets you access to all of the show.

We hope you have a great day"

Doggy · 21-08-2019, 08:34 PM

Yes Gazza I hope to be there . 135 mile each way of m-way, not going to be the best journey ever . LOL .
Thanks for the offer grumpy, but I'm sure I will be fine . If I leave early enough I hope to be there between 9-9;30 .
weather looks like it's going to be spot on !

Mr Gazza · 22-08-2019, 04:39 PM

It'll be really good to see you Colin, but good luck finding very much motorway in Norfolk. You will find the slip road off to Wimbotsham quite long and twisty..

.. Safe journey mate.

Due to the new timings on the email, I will be aiming to get on site for 8.30am, present the forms and find the pitch… I dare say we'll still be setting up when they open the gates, but hey, we've got all day.

Dukedesmo · 23-08-2019, 06:51 AM

Great show, I’ll be there.

DaveR · 23-08-2019, 07:53 AM

Colin
If you want a bit of company I'm planning to leave Colchester at around 0800, looking for a 10ish arrival. I sort of know the way, bit of duel carrigeway , but otherwise ok

Dave

Mr Gazza · 24-08-2019, 01:58 PM

Quick update.

Capo, Grumpy and I will be at Wimbotsham at about 4pm on Saturday. Hopefully we will get the stand pretty much together. Anyone who is in the area is welcome to help out, but no need to make a special effort.

This means that a slightly more relaxed arrival can be had by all and there's no need for super early attendance. I will still be aiming to get there before 9am in case there is any last minute fettling required.

Just roll up and enjoy folks.… Don't be late..

24-08-2019, 04:48 PM

Hope the gazebo goes well,big pegs if you leave it up overnight

Have a great time guys, plenty of pics please

Mr Gazza · 24-08-2019, 05:20 PM

Once bitten... I've got some super long pegs that screw into the ground with a drill.. They've even got glow in the dark plastic ends!!

I'll bring a Hilti-gun to East Kirkby next year, so we can nail the basta down to the concrete!

Doggy · 24-08-2019, 09:07 PM

Thanks for the offer, probably be a better route than I know but would mean a 6:30 start to get to you for 8.
Was an early/full day at work today and may go in tomorrow so will take the direct route up Monday. Can leave at 7:30 for a 9:30 /10 arrival.
