Title: Re: BILLING 2008 Post by lesterlad on Aug 30th, 2008, 9:12am I'll be going. A word of warning: I went for a long weekend under canvas there during the August bank holiday.......I would advise to take as much of your own food and drink as possible, prices are horrendous, especially in the Kingfisher club house, although Vinnies, the on site Indian restaurant (across from Shelduck 2) does a fairly decent breakfast for £4.80, Breakfast includes: Sausage 1 Bacon 1 Egg 1 Hash brown 1 Black pud 1 Fried bread 1/2 Mushrooms Beans Tomatoes Tea and Bread are charged extra. No toast (they dont have a licence for a toaster ??? ) |

Title: Re: BILLING 2008 Post by lesterlad on Sep 5th, 2008, 9:03pm I doubt Billing Aquadrome would cancel anything that brings them revenue in. Cast your mind back to last year to the Land Rover show, Ploughed fields would be an understatement. Billing Aquadrome contact number Touring/camping & events Tel: (01604) 408181 Or (01604) 784948. |

Title: Re: BILLING 2008 Post by ChrisB on Sep 8th, 2008, 11:26pm What a weekend eh !!! Apologies for not being able to keep you upto speed here but we had only limited comms on site :-[ Big thanks to all who made the trip and stuck it out from Friday afternoon till late Sunday afternoon, and those that made the trip on Sunday, hopefully you can now appreciete why we started to bottle it late on Saturday evening and we just had to let folks know what the conditions where like When we arrived on Friday evening there where just a few small puddles ........ http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a104/Scorpiounleashed/DSC07373.jpg By Sunday morning we had THIS........ http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a104/Scorpiounleashed/billing/DSC07408.jpg Dunno why that picture wont show up ?? perhaps one of the mods can take a look as it seems to be correctly inserted and the links OK theres a strange %20 in the link thats not on my desktop ? the / was missing from [/img] at the end of the link. hth and bear in mind quite a bit had drained off by morning, but we pressed ahead with a cut down sort of show done on the roadways around the field ;D Overall considering the weather and the conditions I still think we did actually have....... not only a good time but at the end of the day a VERY good turnout of cars something like 50-60 cars in the end booked in, plus a fair few that didnt. Give us a few days and we will get some pictures on the www.AllGranadaRally.co.uk for you guys and girls to have a giggle at or there are some being posted now on the Unleashed Forum. Thanks again to those that made the trip. ChrisB |

Title: Re: BILLING 2008 Post by pistonbroke on Sep 9th, 2008, 11:14am I've put the pictures my wife took up here (http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/davidb24v/Billing2008?authkey=C7OlT7xyRh0#) as a Picasa Web Album. They're mostly of the weekend as a whole and don't really cover the show too well - the downside of helping to organise things I guess. Dave |
