Well here's a selection of the piccies I took from the camping and show. The full load will be in the Gallery.

Hi I think the majority of us are camping, although I know Ollie is driving up on the Sunday. Think he is planning on getting there about 8ish, and we will all be planning for some time around then. But if you working till early morning I should get there as late as you can. The tickets should tell you the last time for entries to the stands. See you there. Avril

Lee, I think these are similar to the ones advertised on ebay for Mk3/Mk4 escorts. I was going to ring them and see if the ones they do are moulded. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ford-Escort-Mk-3-4-Hand-Crafted-Poly-Carpet-Flint-Grey-/350433626681?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item519778ca39 thanks Avril

I've spoken to the guy who does the vin plates and he is happy for me to give out his details so that you can order some should you want to. He is a very helpful guy and does this as his hobby, so i thought I ought to mention this so you don't give him undue pressure! ha! He also works nights so the best time to contact him is after about 8ish. His name is Dave and his email is djcos2003@yahoo.co.uk and his mobile number is 07917 757695. I have asked if the club logo can be done and have a sent a piccy of it. So I will let you know if this can be done. If you want a copy of the excel template then let me know and I can send it to your email. It won't let me attach and excel file to the post. Thanks Avril

Just to let you all know I have put all the piccies in the Gallery under the Battlebridge show at the following link http://www.escortcabrioletclub.co.uk/forums/index.php?/gallery/album/788-classic-car-show/ Thanks Avril

Looks like a nice show John, unfortunately it clashes with the Battlebridge show which is a shame. I assume its always going to clash with the Battlebridge show each year or do they vary the dates? We had a good day as well, and the weather was great. Thanks Avril

Right I spoke to the camp site today and told them there would be the 7 tents and 8-10 cars for the following: Steve 1 tent Gaving 1 tent Mick 1 tent Avril 1 tent Petey 1 tent Petey mate1 1 tent Petey mate2 1 tent Thery are aware that we will pay on the day. When you get there please say you are with the cabriolet club and they will put us by the lake. They are also aware there are a number of others already paid for Matt (Feeble), and they are happy you can camp with us. So just make sure that if you want to be near that you say you want to be with the Cabriole club as well. See you all there Saturday....hope its nice weather! ha! Thanks Avril

Matt, Can you let me know if you and the others have already paid or if you want me to add you and the others to the list? I will need to know how many tents and cars though. If you have already paid then I can make them aware you want to be near us if you let me know. However there isn't any electric there so if Colin is bringing his camper again he may want to be by an electric hook up. You'll need to let me know. Thanks Avril

Well I rang the camp site today and they have agreed we can pay cash (must be cash though not cheques) on the gate on Saturday if we all want to camp together in a spot by the lake. So the cost is £12-15 per tent with upto 3 people and one car. If your interested in camping together then I will need to know how many tents and people by Monday so I can definitely let the camp site know, and this needs to be definites....so if your unsure please don't add your name. Also for info you will be able to get onto the camp site from 10am on the saturday. Alternatively you can book and pay on line directly with the camp site. So the definites I think we have so far are: 1 tent - Steve + 2 1 tent - Gavin + 1 1 tent Petey 1 tent Mick 1 tent Avril 1 tent Petey's Friend1 (petey I need to know if these are definites and that they haven't yet booked themselves) 1 tent Petey's Friend2 (petey I need to know if these are definites and that they haven't yet booked themselves) 1 tent Leanne (petey I need to know if Leanne is a definite and that she hasn't yet booked herself) Others who I believe have booked on line directly: Feeble & Colin Shane Undecided: Paul If you can all reply and let me know that the above is correct by latest Monday 9th May I can then confirm with the camp site the totals so they can save us a big enough space. Thanks Avril

Mark, If you let me have you email address I can send you the template I created to capture the vin plate details so that you can record them in preparation for getting the new ones done. Thanks Avril

A lot of people have asked how to get these vin plates done. The guy who does them does it as a hobby and I need to make sure he's happy for me to just give his details out as he will probably be inundated with requests as you can imagine. Also it took me a while to track him down as he works nights and isn't the easiest person to get hold of. Paul also suggested that he contacts him on behalf of the club and does some sort of deal with him for the club and then everyones orders can be accommodated. So I will do my best to get hold of him in the next couple of days and sort something out. I will keep you posted. They cost me £40 for the pair. Thanks Avril

Well here's some piccies of the vin plate and colour plate fitted onto skippy! ha! And some other examples that the guy can do.

and some more!

Here's somemore piccies from the show....including a piccy of the Runner up to the Best Club Stand award. Was a great day and good to meet Simon (radman123) and Steve (Suffolk04) at their first cabby show!

Dev looks really smart Paul and very shiny! Can even see your reflection! ha! Will look forward to seeing him at the FITP show. thanks Avril

Hi Ville, Great to see the piccies of your cabby. Apart from the roof, the body work looks in really good condition. It will be nice to see the progress as you restore her. Oh and post a piccy when you fit the headlights! ha!. I'm glad they have gone to a good home! Take care Avril

Dennis I just sent the guy the details and he receated the vin plate as a standard match. He can do other logo ones which are slightly different, where the logo is down the side of the vin plate if you like. The colour plate you can then have with whatever you want really. I think my mate next door had the RS turbo logo on his. I'll post some other examples that he sent me when i get a min. Thanks Avril

I thought i'd put a post up of the new Vin plate and colour plate I have had done for Skippy. They are all nice and shiny so couldn't resist! ha! I haven't received them yet but the guy sent me a piccy of what he had done. So thought i'd post a piccy. Thanks Avril

I think Steve has got all the tickets and is going to leave them on the gate with our names on....I believe he is going to do a post tomorrow about the tickets. See you all there Avril

Wodge, I think the cut off has past....but if you pm PAul he can let you know if he can get anymore. Thanks Avril
