The KOMBI Sleepover 2014, Anita's Campsite, Banbury Fri 30th May - Sun 1st June

Our first Sleepover but definitely not our last! The gallery pics look great. Many thanks to Tim and the crew for organising such a brilliant event.

Thanks to Tim and the team for a great experience, we only wish we could have got there earlier. Good to meet and chat with some fellow owners as we are only 4 weeks into our own journey. Next year we will be a bit more organised.

Wish I took today off to recover from Sports day . feeling it now the alcohol has worn off.... Don't think Saturday night on the Mega Slide helped too much either... Great weekend , will sort out some pics for the gallery a bit later...

Another great weekend, thanks to Tim and the crew. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting old friends and putting names to new faces.......roll on next year.

Mustn't forget the pasting us Aquas gave the aircooled in the sports day as well   

Thanks Tim and his merry men for all the effort they put in to make this another great meet.Penny and myself would like to thank everyone one for Friday night a great atmosphere and we got to meet lots of new people ,and making this a great success,we thoroughly enjoyed the whole weekend.We are looking forward to the northern meet and camperjam ,se you all there.

Max unpacked, pa equipment cleaned and returned, Jnr back with his mum, a long night's sleep, I can now take stock.

WOW        WHAT AN AMAZING WEEKEND    

Thank you so much for all your kind words, it really means a lot to me and the rest of the Admin team that you enjoyed the Sleepover.

There was such a great atmosphere, everyone capturing the spirit, old friends meeting up, new friends being made.  We've said it before and this weekend proved it, our Kombis have brought us together, but it's the people that make this community what it is.

The effort put in by those of you creating stands was simply tremendous - and what fun it turned out to be.  Thank you to all our advertisers who got involved, it was great to see you there.  Lovely touch by the Danbury crew bringing along Jason's Last Edition, much appreciated.

What an incredible result with the charity funds we raised too!  Your generosity is humbling.  

I've got a load of photos and video to sort through and will get them on the site asap.  

In the meantime, the events don't stop here - make sure you check the specific events category for club meets - summer in your campervan is just starting!

Once again, thank you - you're a terrific bunch of people to know and hand on heart I've made some great friends here.

I heard on the grapevine that there might have been a pile up at the bottom of the slide but wouldn't dare confirm I was there or involved in such an raucous event...   

Hope you've both got your feet up after all that hard work this weekend Curry and Cakes were amazing, see you at Camperjam...

Who was the very talented lady who had done the postcard paintings of a number of vans? I'd really like a copy of the one she'd done of Absinthe but I can't recall her name (too much Hoegaarden, I think)

It was Heather, wife of 'docmark' in the fab looking yellow kombi.

Thanks Keith.

Yes Abs those watercolours she had displayed in their windscreen were delightful.

£2280 raised at last week's KOMBI Sleepover transferred to Cancer Research UK. Thank you so much to everyone that came along or who was involved in any way. I'm really proud of what we collectively achieve.

You were up early, Michel. Hope you weren't heading to the pool to put your towel on the sun loungers!

Nice early morning video around the Brazi Bunch - thanks for sharing.
Doo like hearing the birds twitter too!

Great video Michel!

I agree Scoobs, the tweeting birds sound great

great video Michael - however, it all seams a distant memory now

Is it just me, but there's a kind of bouncing effect on that video that makes the Kombis appear to nod. That or there was a lot of early morning .....     

Great video, interesting seeing everyones camp set up. Good to see so much colour co-ordination going on.
