what dates does it fall on this year ?

EDIT: its the 18th - 22nd July

I can make the 18th and 19th (leave on the evening of the 19th or first thing on the 20th) wont have carrier though which is a shame....i have to be realistic thoug i just cant afford to shuttle it down there this year all be it, it will be running by then i promise. I cant take any time off in this month thanks to the Olympics..(big demand for brick layers)

i would most likely take the train....anyone able to pick me up at the station down there

Shaun, Speak to Malcolm as he might have something lined up for transport.

Anyone know what the Aussi record is for carrier in one place?.

kevin.

Ok Will do. Im fine for transport just thinking of you guys.

I can remember seeing 13 lined up in an old copy of CMV i think.

Richie , i will save a bed space in the visitors tent for you, you will not want to go home on the evening of the 19th !! best plan to leave on the 20th from the start. Plenty of opertuanties to crew one of mine mate, you never know seeing as you have your "H" i may even let you be my driver for an arena run. Just pack the right uniform (not your normal "builders" one ! "

Think it was 21, at Corowa in 2005

Hmm do we have 21 carriers in the UK ? by that i mean Mk1 and Mk2 rather than T16's

Shaun, I will source some WW2 kit then hahaha. this visitors tent... not like a hobo hostel is it ? would hate to wake up in the dead of night getting shivved off someone....or worse stuck with something else

shaun · #6 16-01-12, 10:40

Richie, i always take a bit of extra kit IE tanks suits etc.

Basicly the tent layout is a huge 18x24 admin/drinking/eating tent - 12x12 cook tent - 9x9s for the perminant staff and a 12x12 for the waifs and drifters -there may even be a guy in there selling "big issues" - no Royal Marines though !!!! All the tents are linked into a big complex. There are a limited number of proper steel army beds with proper mattresses !! But they are on a " if its not taken when you get there you can use it !" order, failing that its strechers and camp beds. I will talk to you about booking in with me later.

Thats great Rick, you have seen the set up , are you staying out in the back field again or crashing at our pitch ? we can discuss over the phone anyway.

Richard, This must be you then, practicing for the Olympics! images.jpg

We will also be at W&P with the Carrier.

Shaun, you might want to check with Nigel about the Carrier get together. Last show he intended to talk to Rex about getting support from the show for transport or maybe petrol compensation. Make it a huge record breaking attempt that would be interesting for the organizers to advertise. Invite former crew to come and see etc.

Cheers,

Andrew i didnt mean it like that buddy... if it was all carriers including Loyd i think we could muster up a record or two !

Marc where did you find that picture of me ? if someone paid me to bring mine down that would be some incentive to get it done and running before June

Andrew you can sharew the tent with me... i dont bite very hard when i cuddle up...

andrew honychurch · #13 18-01-12, 10:25

no offence taken chaps. I still have to get it finished, currently waiting bits to come from the US of A and fabricators to get off their backsides. No doubt it will be ready by July, fingers crossed.

RichardT10829 · #14 18-01-12, 11:48

at least yours is running !

kevin powles · #15 03-06-12, 17:10

Gents, Can we get into double figures this year, only 9 weeks to go!.

shaun · #16 03-06-12, 22:13

If no one at MLU has a problem, i would like to get a sign made up for "The Carrier Forum" if we are to have a lot of carriers on the pitch from the forum. The pitch i have at the W&P show is very prominent and seeing as we are going to have a good show of carriers it would be good to promote the forum. Your views please !
