Hi, I too am interested in over 60's and I dont mind steam rallies, used to visit them many years ago. I am widowed and live in Wolverhampton, so half way between Hereford and Derbyshire.

Yes Superpup, I can see the problem with no car!! I am Sure you will get lift offers though, depends where u r I suppose

Lunnie, there plenty of rallies in the Derbys/Notts/Leics areas which I usually go to, are these any good to you? The only one further south is the Great Dorset Steam Fair although one or two Northampton way too.

When John starts contacting peeps to get some club meets going, all should be sorted eh for us 'no longer in the first flush of youth' types lol

Hi Guys & Gals, Long time doing nothing much, The knee has been done and started OK however some 14 weeks after the operation I have developed a problem or two with muscles and tendons, Long and the short of it is, if I get down I can"t get up, however I am hopefull that this is just a glitch and very soon the wife will allow a solo trip without worrying. Praying for a barbie summer, best regards John.

After reading your post decided I would like to join your 60's camping do's. but have a problem cos I'm not 60 till November!!! but I will be camping at Stratford from the 31st may till 7th June which is a bit of a middling place for most to met up.  But if that is to soon then I will also be camped in the malvern hills at the 3 counties showground in August. fab place.

 

 

But if I can't join till I'm 60 I will maybe see you next year .............

Thanks for the offer superpup but getting to 60 faster is not on my most wanted list.

What is on there is to go camping, all my gear is stacked on the kitchen table and can't wait for the off. But, have to go to germany first. get back and than pack up the car.

But meanwhile sat on computer while waiting for delivery of new Sunncamp Elan 200.

they tried to deliver it yesterday but failed to see the note that said BELL OUT OF ORDER. so got note through door!!

.'. still sat waiting. 

Hopefully a get together will be arranged soon to suit everyone.

Not been on a UK met for a few years.

hi franco.. i think this thread will liven up soon as summer is here. so i am watching as well. i am away on 12th june to a steam traction show. just for two nights. maybe if possible it could be three. i like the steam shows. always something of interest there. and a few beers as well at night.  gonna take portable bbq with me. as the food in some of those places from the vans. yuk. chips can be like cardboard. burgers just the same. the one i am going to is at corbridge. near to hexham. train station is right there too. so easy to get to. bit far for you to go. but some do travel a long way to these shows. fills the weekend in. are you interested in these shows. . a few of the ukcs members are. some go to truck shows. scammels usualy. they are worth having a browse round as well. 

wireweaver.. did you get your suncamp ok. and have you got any plans yet.
