[Closed] Big Bike Bash Info

Can someone give me some 240v power so that I can inflate my blow up matresses (and dolls).

I grabbed what I thought was an inverter today but it turned out to be something else.

Still yay no dogs and your back seat getting shat all over when you get turned back at the gate

I've got all the 240v power you'll ever need in my van, but if my dogs can't come then it won't be there! peteimpreza your card is marked! 😈

ooooooohhhhhhhh get her and her poodles

handbags at dawn sweetie?

I can be quite scary but nothing on her in doors!

I'll have 240 power when I get there, which propbably won't be until late on friday.
I'm the one taking the photographs along with a friend of mine & my better half if you'd all be so kind as to come along & part with some ££ for them, proceeds to the charity of choice of course.

i was a bit pi$$ed off at no dogs rule, had to make dog sitting arrangements. still should be good fun

Paid for tickets online on 12th of August, still not arrived, has my postman nickend them?

Print a copy of your ticket payment and bring it with you.

I will be writing the info email this evening covering things like directions, where the nearest chemist is, site plan, approximate event schedule, nearest cash machines.

Has this gone out yet??

I've not had anything yet.

I definitely remember a "No dags" post from WCA a little while ago. Couldn't find it, but did find this

..so I presume the daytime xc race is on the Sunday??

Your guess is as good as mine 🙂

Just got my event information Email from WCA so check you inboxes people.

Yep, got mine, looks like a very busy but fun weekend! Really looking foward to it. When's everyone else getting there?
We're heading down tomorrow night

Leaving Portsmouth at 5.30pm and bringing my little girl (2 and a half) its her first camping trip/festival. Anyone else bringing kids?

errrrr, chaos permitting we will be pitching up in the faaaaamily (really, you don't want our kids singing at you at half past five in the morning) campsite at about 2 or 3 pm.
[edit] loubella, i am coming with my own 3 and 5 year old, and a friend is bringing 20 month and 3 year old. They will all be shouting and falling off balance bikes a lot.

Anyone else bringing kids?

We're bringing our 2, plus friends bringing theirs. They're not excited at all 😀

There are 50 under 12s FFS!!!!

I thought this was going to be a bunch of blokes in a field on their own. Never mind

What could possibly go wrong?

XC Sat and Sun and Night

Yay, Phoebe will be so pleased to have some other kids to play with! Sadly our 4 year old son has to stay home with his Auntie over night as he is profoundly autistic and camping would freak him out, he cannot communicate/play with Pheebs at all, so whenever she sees other kids she is in her element. Its important for her to have time out from Joel now and again. Although Joel is coming for Saturday afternoon, we will see how he handles it all, its equally important that he gets to experience social events so he doesnt totally shut himself off.
Is it cool for Phoebe to join in with her balance bike too?

We are there with our two (a 4 year old and 9 month old), plus camping with friends who both have a couple of slightly older kids too. Turning up some time early Friday evening.

[i]Anyone else bringing kids?[/i]

Of course.. My boy'll be there - he's a STW festival veteran!

WCA - can you just clear up a tiny bit of confusion which may arise about the campsites:
If we've just bought BBB tickets, we're in the FREE campsite, right?
Only those that have booked extra with Avon Tyrrell will be in the BBB campsite?

FREE CAMPING WITH THE BBB TICKET

Pay more for the Avon Tyrrell camp site. The toilets and showers are closer.

Loubella- Not sure of any details so don't quote me butg : Avon Tyrrell do all sort of stuff for all sort of kids. phone ahead and peak to them, they may have some special stuff they can do.

No promises but they are an amazing bunch of people.

hi guys we only have one camp site,direct booking with avon tyrol is for b and b in manor house or chalet type lodges cheers steve

Good morning. Hopefully everyone should have recieved their emails by now. If you haven't email me and I will try to forward it on to you, not sure how that will work from my phone but if nothing arrives just turn up and head for the admin tent.

Cheers

Nick

Cooper - I am genuinly sorry about the No Dogs policy. It is not something I thought to mention because in my naivety I thought that people would ask. In fact it was someone asking that made me confirm this with Avon Tyrrell and clarify the situation. There is also a no octopus and nor tiger policy I forgot to mention, elephants are under review.

Hope you all enjoy it and the weekend goes smooth for all involved in running it.

Drac, it looks like it should be fun, IMO. We're off straight from work tonight and I'm really looking forewards to it now. 😀

I have to say that I know WCA has put his heart and soul (Not to mention a big wedge of his own cash, and remember he was made redundant this year) into organising this event. He's taken a chance on doing something a bit different and slogged his guts out to get it off the ground (As have a fair few others), in a Field of Dreams 'build it and they will come' style.
He deserves every success with it
😀

Pete - I am happy to take all the credit, and I will*.

*There are others who have helped but will remain nameless until after the event. Some of you will know them, the rest can probably read about them in some of the magazines and news papers who are sending reporters or have asked for photos and a write up of the event.

Oi!

You don't have the time to be browsing STW! Get down to the A.T. centre and get working!
😉

43 emails since last night!

That's what I thought...

I'm now standing outside Luke's beer tent with my third pint

Wonderful!!!
🙂

Good luck with this event. Hope it goes well for you, you certainly have done some leg work to get it off the ground.

Sat in our chalet having coffee and deciding what to have
for breakfast

Lukes beers are great.

at least you will have the weather for it. A proper hot weekend.

Picures, pictures, picture, where's the bloody pictures? I want to see pictures.

Just rode th XC course. Twisty turny uppy downy. SS may not be a good
choice. Glad I have gears!
