2014 is a big year for our club as it marks the 10th anniversary of CHEAPFEST - BirtyDastards annual club event – which as usual will be held at the off road site of Coney Green Farm nr Stourport on Severn over the weekend of 13th & 14th September, although camping will be available from the 12th.
Just briefly for those of you that don’t know back in the day there was a national event called JeepFest in the UK that was hideously expensive, so when JeepFest folded the original team at BirtyDastards Jeep Club set up their own annual event for it members and called it Cheapfest.
Coupled with the 10th anniversary of Cheapfest is we hope a change of direction for the future of the Jeep community in the UK where we can fortify and rebuild strong links with clubs that in essence share the same passion – JEEPS. Subsequently, we have officially invited via their forums all the other Jeep clubs in the UK to attend and have provided them with discount codes for pre-booking tickets for the weekend. We really hope that we can make this a huge event and help get the ball rolling for the clubs to work together and share events in the future.
So, along with those ambitions and the 10th anniversary came a need to expand the programme for Cheapfest: as well as the usual weekend off road free roaming fun at Coney Green Farm – which is suitable for stock Jeeps as well as hardcore trail rigs – there will also be gated trials, punch hunts, and guided tours for standard Jeeps.
Outside of the driving opportunities we are planning outside catering over the weekend, music in the evening, fireworks, and a free to enter show & shine event. We also have commitments from off road related businesses such as Llama4x4 & Jeep Monkey that are enthusiastic to come along with their trade stands.
The event will also be covered by Total Off Road (TOR) magazine.
There are many different options on tickets and all are welcome whether driving off road and camping for the weekend or coming for a day visit as a spectator and meet some old and new friends. Obviously it’s cheaper to pre-book but entry on the day/s at the gate will be available.
