| Oh, forgot to remind you all of the Top 3 Kombis on display: 1. Skytiger 2. Lilyvdub 3. Absinthe Notice anything they have in comon? Yep, they're all Green and from the North! Makes you think doesn't it? Maybe it's the warm up they get at the Northern Chapter Meet! ________________________________________________________________________________ Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder

- I've got a feeling that there's going to be a lot of photos coming soon. Can I suggest we stick them in the gallery - I'll create a specific thread there.
Good idea Tim - makes stealing them so much easier! ________________________________________________________________________________ Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder

| Just to echo what everyones saying - a big thank you to all involved
Even my wife Ali had a smile on her face. Which from someone who doesn't do camping is a result! Glad she doesn't read this
Roll on 2014
I don't know how man people heard Batgirl playing the violin but she was fantastic. All for a bit of live music
Is the field big enough for a rollercoaster - just a thought | |

| Ditto from us too - a gazzilion thanks to Tim and the team for the most splendid weekend of Kombi Kapers. There wasn't a second of boredom whatsoever - I don't blame Mart and Alison for having a quick kip on the way home - I slept like a rock last night! Thx to Marcus for his kind words regarding Batgirl - she'll be chuffed that it went down okay - she wasn't sure. Perhaps next year we could have an 'Open Mike' slot at the Kombicabana for all those guitarists, fiddlers and singers out there? Also great to meet up with so many friends that we have been conversing with for the last 16 months on the BVWB site - lots of like-minded spirits and people old enough to know better! LOL Thanks also to the sponsors of various things at the Weekend. The kids seemed to love the slide if the decibel level was anything to go by! The two parties were stonking fun - it must have taken Tim ages to put the music together - the hits just came coming and great to finish on Saturday with Swedish House Mafia! Things I saw and want to copy: a) Painted Dashboard - loved that in various vans b) New Curtains for Robin - they do make a big difference c) New bike towbar that Rhubarb has - what a great piece of kit!
And loads of other things seen too - but perhaps being too draining of funds!
Many thanks again to the team - We can't wait for France now - and how foolish any members will be if they don't pencil in next years dates for the Kombi Sleepover - do it now! - You know it makes sense! LOL

| Arrived home early evening after spending an additional night at Anita's campsite......the sun still never stopped shining. We all enjoyed the fun especially my son Joshua who made many friends, thanks to all the sponsors and hard work by a lot of folks.
As we were last to leave found a couple of items, a light blue child's fleece 7 to 8 years, and a pair of pink crocs given to Tim. Let me know if the fleece is yours and will post on.
Best regards to all, bessy blue, eddy, Catherine and Joshua. | |

Hi Tim, With a small get together like Dazdub or Northern Do it's great to be able to go for a ramble, cycle or even a convoy with a pub or tea room as a destination. The countryside around Anita's is lovely, as are the villages of Mollington and Cropredy. It's just a shame that time and logistics make it nigh on impossible to consider forty buses full of people descending on a village pub! We just need an extra day to pack it all in BTW - the Boss did a quality check on her photo website AFTER I'd posted it, and asked where her Friday photos were? Where indeed - I've now reloaded the site with the extra pics and I'll put a link on the Kombi Sleepover 2013: the photos topic. Thanks again Tim and team - it were GRAND | |

1. Left Click on the pic you want from the front page of the set 2. Right click and choose a size ( I go for Medium 500) 3. Right click and copy image 4. Pastey pastey... ________________________________________________________________________________ Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder
