Grasmere Show

AngusB · Post by **AngusB** » Sat Jul 18, 2015 4:10 pm

This years Grasmere Show is on Sunday the 30th August if anyone is interested in going?
At the moment I'm on day shift but hoping to get that changed so I can go.
I hope we get the weather we did last year but going by the LCC I'd say the Cumbria club must have neglected to pay their weather dues this year.
I've been emailed a PDF with more info on it but wouldn't know where to start to put it visible on this post...if anyone else could, that'd be great.

I replied to the email asking to be registered - and got a reply confirming I'm on the list.

I'm not entirely sure but think there's limited numbers.

AngusB · Post by **AngusB** » Thu Aug 13, 2015 5:20 pm

Got the day off & sent an email to Chris...now got to finish the rest of the day with my fingers crossed that there's still space for me.
Are we forming a convoy again this year?

AngusB · Post by **AngusB** » Mon Aug 24, 2015 11:35 am

I'm in!

Is anyone going over on the Saturday and camping?
I'm up for it but will be leaving after work at 6pm.

Mehdi · Post by **Mehdi** » Mon Aug 24, 2015 4:39 pm

Glad you are in Angus. Am not sure what others are doing.
I m driving there Sunday morning and will have to get straight back.
Will meet up on the green 8.30 ish and ready for 9.

Eddie Davis · Post by **Eddie Davis** » Mon Aug 24, 2015 9:56 pm

Me and Helen will b taking the camper over Sat. That is if the weather isn't s-----t. Think Bill is taking his van. Let u know nearer the time. Trafords camp site is cheep and often has space on bank holidays. Short walk to the pub.

bill-scott · Post by **bill-scott** » Mon Aug 24, 2015 11:47 pm

I'm off work from Wednesday so keeping an eye on the weather might go over a few days early

bill-scott · Post by **bill-scott** » Mon Aug 24, 2015 11:50 pm

Just had this from Chris field

to bill

They allow people to camp on the field the night before. I think you are meant to vacate on the Sunday morning but it doesn’t seem to be strictly enforced.

Well it all worked out ok last year

Graeme · Post by **Graeme** » Wed Aug 26, 2015 1:16 am

Eddie has suggested Trafford campsite - is that where everyone is staying?

Wendy Patterson · Post by **Wendy Patterson** » Wed Aug 26, 2015 1:47 am

Col babe and me will be in the lakes from Wednesday and planning to be at the grassmere festival, although I was a bit slow on enering for event so I've not got a place. We ll be staying at skelwith fold campsite near top of Windermere. Hope to see you all there and praying the weather forecast improves before then.

Eddie Davis · Post by **Eddie Davis** » Wed Aug 26, 2015 12:03 pm

If its possible to stay Sat night in the show ground car park I suggest it would b good if we all met up there. Bill have u any other information about how we get into the car park.

bill-scott · Post by **bill-scott** » Wed Aug 26, 2015 2:22 pm

Last year we just turned up and said we were there for the paragliding comp and were directed to camp over the far side

AngusB · Post by **AngusB** » Wed Aug 26, 2015 6:07 pm

That was my plan again this year Bill but I won't get over til about 8pm cos of work. Hoping the security will let me on but if not I'll be looking for a lay-by somewhere close

bill-scott · Post by **bill-scott** » Wed Aug 26, 2015 11:41 pm
