I've just bought two tickets off FB. We won't be camped with you guys but we'll be there...

Well done . . .

. . . just look for the Brazi Flags to find us

Tickets (and guns) have arrived.

You will look a right cowboy with those!

What music would fit your soundtrack for the 'Hats' theme on Friday and a 'Wild West' Theme on Saturday?

We would start with  . . . Prince and Raspberry Beret, followed by Bon Jovi and Blaze of Glory

2 sleeps to go

Costume decisions

You must be spoilt for choice Scooby.

That's the problem!

Decided to keep it low key this year

We could always reprise these, Scooby:

Serviced and MOT'd so nearly good to go!

An important message from our friends at CamperJam


Dear Camper Jammers  
 
We want your start to Camper Jam to be as smooth and stress-free as possible! Help us to make this happen by sticking to the following easy-peasy points!

Read the following information very carefully.

ARRIVAL TIME: The official opening time for the Camper Jam campsite is 2:00pm Friday 7th of July. It's essential we stick to this time as we have much more to prepare on site for you this year. PLEASE arrive close to 2:00pm and not before.  Causing ‘jams' on the road to the event can lead to serious safety issues and there are no toilet or other facilities available. You will be asked to move on if we are not ready to open our gates. Please, please, please don't arrive too early!
Gates close promptly at 10pm on Friday and 8pm on Saturday, please arrive before this time as vehicle access is not permitted beyond this time.

ARRIVAL GATE: If you're in Family Camping follow signs to the Red Gate, for everyone else it's the Blue Gate. If in doubt check your vehicle pass where its also written on.

VEHICLE PASSES: Must not be tampered with - this could jeopardise your entry into the show. Please ensure vehicle passes are stuck in your windscreen securely to enable us to easily direct you to the correct campsite. If not stuck securely you will be asked to pull to one side to do so. Please don't be the person holding up the traffic! STICK IT IN to GET IN
No vehicle pass = no entry

WRISTBANDS: Make sure you have bands placed snugly on all of wrists to wave them at our lovely teams on your way in!
No wristband = No entry!
If you're short of a child wristband don't worry we'll have some spare at the entrance.

HEALTH AND SAFETY: Camper Jam has 24hr security and first aid cover onsite and can be reached throughout the weekend on the following numbers.
First Aid: 01244663405
Security: 01244663410

In our marquees there'll be loud music, strobe lighting and latex balloons.

PETS: All dogs must be kept on a lead and are not allowed in marquees after 7pm. Do not leave dogs in vehicles.

CASH: We do not have cash machines on site so please come prepared. We are offering a cash back service at the brothers bar for up to £50 (minimum spend £5).

Thank you for your co-operation!

Shelley & The Camper Jam Team

I'm looking to arrive between 5 and 6 depending on traffic.

Probably 6-7pm for us.

Sometime after 2pm for us.

6ish hopefully

Think 6pm for us too , can only get a half day off work

Have taken the day off so approximately a lunchtime arrival for Scooby - depending upon when we leave and the traffic!

Now I know martin is about to shoot me down in flames. I am not knocking the fact that I have 13 weeks holiday / that would be stupid - but it would be nice to book a half day/ day off so we could get somewhere early anyway not to worry. John/Sharon have the drinjs chilled x

Drinks will be chilled - as will we

Safe journey everyone

Only 2h so very good for us so we will be in at 2

For those travelling up from the South - and assuming you wish to avoid paying motorway prices - the following locations may be worth considering.  


Tesco petrol station - off junction 11 of the M40 (part of the familiar route to Annita's Campsite)

Tesco petrol station - off junction 4 of the M42

BP petrol station on the A5

Tong self service station on A41




Other petrol stations and locations are available

Angela - my thoughts are with you at this difficult time...


PS Boris is having a haircut in the morning so we should be there mid-afternoon.

Another 15 years and you can have all the half days you want Angela. Be patient!

Sorry Abs, cannot locate my outfit  

Had half the loft out (very hot - could not stay any longer) - it must be in the other half

Will be going with a more low key arrangement!
