Bug Jam tips from Fake Science

Bug Jam Club Camping

From Santa Pod:

 

"Bug Jam, of course, is still aimed fairly and squarely at die-hard Volkswagen enthusiasts and the loyal VW clubs are a very important part of the show. So we’ll be moving the club camping pitches to a much higher profile location bringing more of these often hidden gems to the fore. This will release more space for our general campers and consequently should allow most of our day visitors to park on site minimising the need for a park and ride service."

The actual club plot lay-out will be published later this week, once they've finished shuffling all the little bits of card around. I remember when Club Camping was along the bottom of the banking. Mind you it was all fields around here then, mutter, grumble, moan, ooh, my poor old back, etc etc...

Oooh, aaaaah, pretty

(sorry about the music...)

VW Expo @ Stonor Park

Time for Stonor again, the sun was out, the sky was blue and all was good in the world (if your name isn't Reece) although John Daniels was seemingly even more embarrassing than usual.
