No, I have a feeling CCC members get in a bit cheaper. Last year I recall the difference was a pound.

Great news on the BXAGON Raffle Phil

Good prizes too. Well worth a punt.

Jim's correct everyone is welcome, being a member allows you to get in at a discounted rate.

Now then what car to take?

Richard and Jim
i think you will have to get your selfs a towing A frame each, then you will be able to bring two cars each, and as the rear one will be classed as a trailer you wont have to pay entry to the event

Little maps will be handed out at the gate, and main areas will be designated with bright signs tied to the fences. If you turn up in a Nemo or Synergie, or another model not specifically identified on the plan, park where you feel comfortable!

Weather ain't looking all that special for Sunday.... a shame as last year was very good. I'll still be going!

Weather meant to be a bit better than mentioned earlier, possible chance of a shower later in the day but dont think we will get soaked, i'll keep an eye on the rainfall radar. See you all there!

The weather didn't spoil the day, just a few short heavy-ish showers and some light rain, but the sun often came out and had a heck of a lot of heat in it!

Was good to meet up with everyone, and help out with swapping/testing spheres

I'm now a paid up member of the CCC.

There was a good turn out of Xantias, some beautiful DS' and a particular CX to drool over.

Hope everyone had a safe journey home.

PS mmmm cake.

A few pictures, but i ran out of space on the camera -

Spoilt a bit by the weather i felt, strong wind made it feel quite chilly. Little un wasnt too impressed, got a bit bored...But there was an excellent turn out of Xantia's, must have been one of the biggest displays?

I was happy my car didnt have any faults on the suspension logged, its been a long time since it was reset and its rare for the steering wheel angle sensor to not come up, result!

It was a great day ( or weekend if like me you were crazy enough to camp!).
Cheers to Xac for giving me a hand with sphere removal, and Richard for letting me use his sphere tester, which sadly confirmed my fronts were kaput

Poor Kev is most likely still on the M4 to devon!

However, best i know now rather than go down to the south of france on them!
Nice pictures Gareth!

Great pictures looks like you all had a great time

Having looked again at the pictures i cant see why the need for a scalpel on a Xantia

Happy Birthday Jim
