Ladies and Gentledaffers...
This is the event we've all been waiting for...well, us Essex mob anyway!
We are pleased to announce the date for the next Essex DAFs weekender - Saturday 24th / Sunday 25th August. All are welcome except DAF owners from Elmstead Market (sorry!).
Those who have previously attended will know what it's all about and the format and all the details are the same as last year. For those who haven't attended before, there is a guesthouse 2 miles down the road, the very nice 4 star 17th Century Coach House - The Old Courthouse Inn. Otherwise you're free to come and pitch a tent on our grounds for a one off fee of £5 per pitch to our landlord Farmer George.
Free refreshments will be available to all, including as much of the legendary Essex DAFs tea as we can pour down your necks. Otherwise it'll be car tinkering, DAF banter and just chilling out.
Last year we had a project which was to get Kev's 32, LouLou Belle roadworthy. Although the MOT followed about a month later, the bulk of the work was achieved at the weekender. This time we want to do something for our landlord so there will be a grey Fergusson tractor to play with. For those who like something different here's also a Goggomobil to play with, not to mention a myriad of DAFs!
Those who are camping and have long distances to travel are welcome to camp the Friday and Sunday nights if you wish. The fee pitch is a one off charge remember and you'll actually have to twist George's arm to make him take your money!
Of course, you don't need to bring your DAF, but the person who has travelled furthest in his or her DAF will win themselves a slap up meal at The Old Courthouse Inn on the Saturday night.
We'll most likely have a caravan again this year for those who like to carry out their ablutions in some degree of comfort.
Dogs are welcome so long as they can be tied to a stake (so as not to scare the chickens) but our landlord has asked for no children to be present this year - sorry!
So, be there. Or be a rhomboid.
Pete.
