No problem with Thursday afternoon Gwyn
The grass should be off the field by Wednesday night according to the contractor.
I've ordered just two portaloos this time which should be delivered on Wednesday afternoon.
I intend to put the targets out on Thursday morning so we'll be up and running by mid day Thursday.
We also have insurance in place via the NFU so we're good to go.
I only have half a dozen knockdowns for the weekend, but we have 120 odd spinners, 2 bell targets, and of course the Quigley bucket which should be enough for the reduced numbers.
All the best Mick
Certainly did, young man!
Although I was working (on the Ducati stand), they were okay with me disappearing off. So, as to not take the piss too much, I didn't see any of the tiddlers, but DID manage to watch every MotoGP practice session, qualifying and the race!
Dunno if you saw it, but it was an electrifying race? And Sarah recorded it for me, so I can also watch in fine detail.
But the noise and atmosphere was amazing. For one of the morning sessions, I viewed from one of the straights....phew, the sheer speed and acceleration was amazing.
And the smell. Oh the smell, like no other. I know they're on high octane stuff, but you also get that kerosene-esque smell with these bikes. Awesome!!
THE BOINGER BASH AT QUIGLEY HOLLOW. MAKING GREAT MEMORIES SINCE 15th JUNE, 2013.
NEXT EVENT :- May 4/5, 2024.........BOING!!
Yep, t'was cool!
But only fair, I think, for three really long days and being totally knackered. That was partly down to me being stressed to high heaven on the motorway when lorries harrass you in the 50mph roadworks sections...it was one of them that nearly did for me last year. Drove home every night to see the family and tend to the (ever improving) Brembo.
Met a lot of nice people on the stand, as well as one hell of a lot of drunken muppets....good laugh, though.
But the highlight was, obviously, being able to see Mr Rossi and co.

It would be great if you could bring them John.
I have patterns and steel ready for the local laser cutter to cut us 30 or 40 silhouettes out so I can build them up over winter --- these will be flip-flop / head-heart, self resetters.
Once these are done I'll be happy with the amount of targets I have in stock ready for next year.
All the best Mick
I assumed there would be a bonfire night bash as well.
