Just Kampers Open Day - 25th June - Odiham, Hampshire

No inside 'scoob' to report at the moment. I'm sure all the JK guys will be doing their best to keep the day 'on' but if it comes down to H&S because of the conditions, then they may have no option. Fingers crossed we get a let up in the weather - haven't been down to JK for a while.

The last time we went there must be last summer or possibly even earlier in that year - we were in a 1972 tax free low light cross over Bay back then! Scooby has never been there

The forecast isn't too bad now for Saturday - warm 21-23 degrees with a bit of cloud cover. No mention of the R word!

Max and I'll be heading down in the morning with the plan to lunch there. I'll have bus stickers/door sill covers and blank button sticker sets on-board if anyone wants anything.

If there's anything JK sell that you'd like me to checkout for you, if you can't make it, please let me know below.

Just had email confirmation - this event is definitely ON!!

If you waited till the the weather was nice to go anywhere, you would be stuck at home all the time.

Glad this is on, unfortunatley too far to travel for me. Have fun though

Look forward to it

Nightmare!!

A security issue aboard my son's flight tonight has prevented him from coming home. So now he's home lunchtime tomorrow so we'll come straight to JK from the airport. Hope to be there around 2.30pm. Sorry if I miss anyone going in the am but c'est la vie!!

That sounds drastic! I hope everything is ok

Well it was weird. My son flies with the excellent BA Skyflyer service for unaccompanied children. The Red Arrows were doing a display over the Highland Show at Edinburgh and my 10 year old son's plane was held up at the end of the runway whilst they closed the airspace for the display. Then something happened near the aircraft and the next thing it was called back to the stand and the police requested the flight crew to get off for interview. This is all as described to me by my son and me hearing the cabin announcements while he and I were on the phone.

My ex and I made the decision to de-plane him at 2100 because he'd already been sitting on the plane for nearly 2 hours and he's now flying home tomorrow on another flight. However the original flight is still yet to take off.

Deary me, I wonder what it was that went on near the plane? Strange! Better to be safe.

At least normal service will be resumed tomorrow

See you there, should arive around lunchtime, safe journeys all ! :-)

Thanks Just Kampers, nice day out with great food (once restocked from Tesco!) and fab offers.


Skint now...

Great to shake hands between Kombis in the middle of the road with libelula, to chat with skelly53 and - Talullah - sorry we missed you. Got there just before 3 (M25!!) - looked like it had been a fine day. Oh and we met the oldest Brazilian Kombi in town - Rosie - and she's joined up here. Read more about her in the New Bays section:

I see on Teletext that BA pilots being interviewed after mobile phone thrown from plane onto runway.

Tim - Glad to hear your son's flight problem got resolved eventually - must have been a nightmare for everyone
We arrived at JK before 11.00am - met up with Libelula for a brief chat
(great colour by the way Libelula, liked the dragon fly logo and the old AA badge)
We did the 11.30 tour
Very interesting how it all started and where they are now - and where they intend to be!
Did not buy anything but enjoyed the look around
Had one or two other jobs to do - left just before 1.00pm
Sorry we did not meet up with anyone else - but theres always Camperjam & the Kombi Sleepover

Well here's the story as told by The Sunday Mail. I feel for the pilot ... what do you reckon?

Off topic I know, but this did affect our trip to JK.
