Ok I've booked the Bala 4x4 site for Saturday the 27th May.
It £35 per vehicle.
Waiting to hear back from the site re trailered vehicles, mot etc.
Planning to go down Friday evening and camp locally Friday night and Saturday night.
May try to do some lanes on the Sunday on the way back.
Put your names down if your interested in attending.

I'm on holiday in Spain unfortunately. I might have been tempted to get the shiny ghay Jeep dirty. Might have to wait until 7S in the Summer as I've got loads of other stuff going on too.

To be fair I picked this date as it's the only weekend i have free between now and the end of June, but that puts it close to j33p at seven sisters.
Enough people are coming to cover the site hire. We can always organise another one later in the year if it goes well.
-
Wasn't a criticism Donk. Just seemed a shame that so many people couldn't make it.

Talk to Hannah at Bala 4x4 - those rules will have been written when they were holding open 4x4 days - just to cut down on people who take scrappers and then do there best to wreck them there
-
Yeah, usually that's there to keep the arse holes away..
-
I have asked the question will report back when I hear something.
-
I asked this
Just wondering as we're hiring the site for a club event does the MOT etc rule still apply. As some members have vehicles that don't comply with MOT regs eg hydro steer etc. It's not a problem if it does, but just asking as I've been asked. Thanks, Dave.
Got this reply
I'm sorry but the rules are there for a reason so all rules apply. Thanks, Hannah.

Evening
Would it be possible to turn up on the day ? And pay on the day.
This would be my first birtys event but have bumped into a few members.
As if we get this job finished at work tomorrow I will have a enexpected Saturday off.
Don't think I will be able to get down Friday to the campsite but will try.
Cheers Mark
