All done.  In the first post.  Thanks Eddy. 

Yes see it now, thanks Tim

On a space theme, here's Alison's fav version of this classic.

Please note - there will be no sign/banner visible outside Ashgrove Farm as we don't want to invite unwanted guests. There will be one once you enter the farm, indicating your route to our field.

Pitch bookings close at 6pm tonight.

For those of us without sat/nav and bearing in mind last year we drove straight past the entrance, would it be possible to perhaps place some balloons at the entrance - maybe green and yellow - to help locate the way in?

We'll put a Brazilian flag outside.  That suffice?

Not like I leave everything to the last minute but just a reminder as to what's happening and what I should have sorted out well before today
Thought it might help others

Here's how you book to join us from 12 – 14 May at The KOMBI Sleepover 2017!

You can arrive for the weekend from Midday on Friday 12th May and we anticipate wrapping things up around lunchtime on Sunday 14th May.

The ticket pricing for this year's show is broken down as follows:

1 x Campervan/tent inc 2 adults         £30 per night
Any additional 16 yr olds and over      £8 per night
Any additional under 16 yr olds          £4 per night
Electric Hook Up (20 available)          £15 per weekend(only available to those booking both nights)

You are welcome to invite friends if you think they would enjoy our BraziBay weekend!

At this year's show, we've booked the same toilet block as last year, but with the addition of a luxury shower unit provided by the same company.  This shower block works using gas heaters and gravity tanks, so should be a vast improvement on last year's single showers.  We're also offering 20 Electric Hook Up pitches, but these are only available to those booking in for both nights.

The EHUs will be allocated on a first booked basis.

To book send TimV a pm and in return you'll receive details on how you can pay and guarantee you pitch, or click one of the following:

If you are unable to stay any or all of the nights and wish to be a day visitor, then we ask that you pay £10 per campervan/vehicle. You are welcome to arrive anytime from 10am on the Friday/Saturday/Sunday, but must have left the event by 7pm on the same day.

Lighting and PA system greatly sponsored by Brazilian Kampers:


Location: Ashgrove Farm, Ardley, Bicester OX27 7PJ



Just next to Junction 10 of the M40 you'll find Cherwell Services featuring a number of retailers such as M&S Simply Food, Costa, Burger King, Greggs, WH Smith etc.  There's a petrol station too, but of course the fuel prices there are at inflated prices!!

Arriving @ Ashgrove Farm

If you have come from the M40 you will be turning right into the farm.  Keep an eye out on the left hand side for the Ardley Recycling Centre, the entrance to the farm is shortly past this on the right.

Please note - there will be no sign/banner visible outside Ashgrove Farm as we don't want to invite unwanted guests. There will be one once you enter the farm, indicating your route to our field.

Drive into the farm and follow the road about 200m where you turn right before the large metal barn, drive across a grassy area and enter our field at its very top corner.  If you have paid for an EHU, then you are in Electric Avenune, otherwise you're in the Grassy Crater.  Please park in the formation show in the picture below:



Please note that this year's show will contain FLASHING LASER AND LIGHTING EFFECTS.  It is strongly recommended that if you are sensitive to such that you wear sunglasses when inside the marquee.


Silent Rave on Friday - you must deposit £10 per headset to take part. No deposit = No headset = No Rave.

20 MINUTES CHECKLIST

2. Kombi cleaned, fed and fully stocked up for a weekend's camping and the season ahead.

3. Show clothing: have you ordered your Black or White KOMBI Sleepover T-shirt for the Silent UV Rave on the Friday night?  It's not too late.

4. Sorted your BraziBay's dress-up kit to compete for Spike's Trophy during Saturday daytime?

5. Chosen what you're going to put into the raffle on Saturday?

6. Decided what you're going to perform on stage (should you choose to) in BraziBay's Got Talent?

7. Space themed Fancy Dress for the Galaxy Disco on Saturday night?

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!!!

Just to let you know that Sue and I won't make it today.  I'm full of cold.  We'll pop over on Saturday.  Hope everyone is having fun. All the best.
