Hi poll please could you add me and my partner sarah down for this meet. Also do I need to pay in advance please and are there any restrictions for a disabled person as my partner will need to use her mobility scooter.

Hi Adie

No need to pay until get there, someone will collect fees in the first couple of days. No restrictions on the ground where we park up for Sarah's mobility scooter.
Look forward to meeting you both there.

Not long now! 

Carriage is only available on Saturday night

Ok probably pub for other nights then.

Am I right in thinking we need gas heaters for the carriage.

Hia

Bit of a country walk along the narrow pavements mind you it's only a mile
We could one night, but could do with the event tent for the others etc

Sorry Pol I think it will be too cold for the event shelter.

It could be taken if its easy and the forecast is warmer but I am away at the moment and its been freezing.

Hia

A few little things in the pipeline for our first meet of the season

But can I ask if anyone as a gas ( not elec) heater we can use in the carriage to keep us warm , pleases could you bring it along 
THANKS

Not sure if it is the same bus and continue to Buxton
Bakewell lovely
Opposite way is Matlock then Matlock Bath
The steam train runs to Matlock , so you could catch the bus or train.

If you look further up the page you will se the events we have planned ha ha 
Anything could happen
We hopefully will have the events shelter up where we can chit chat and drin and eat nibbles.
If you have a portable gas fire bring it along to help to keep us warm
We are in the carriage Saturday night. 
Hope this helps

Day organised today
Stuff put in the van. Changed my clothes because I am going to tackle my snake hose and we all know what happens to me
Key in ignition and then that awful sound 
Uh, uh, uhhhhh
Uh, uh, uhhhhhh
Yes battery flat as a F---
Well I know you start by taking the black connection first.
Lifted bonnet looked at battery and thought no way can I do this.
So had to succumb to back up plans. Neighbours at work.
Brother in law at work
Son at work
Mechanic at work
What is this thing WORK thing very inconsiderate
Brother in law coming later and then I will take it up to my local battery place for them to check and put it on charge.
It as another year guarantee 
But possibly flat due to not being used and cold weather
It was used December and I did have a run up and down the motorway sometime since
Oh well it could have been worse I could have left it till Friday

Hope you get it sorted Polly
