Website has been updated with links to loads of old photos and threads. Hopefully you'll find something that makes you smile on there. Anyone with any old photos, videos, blog posts etc please let me have them and they will be added. I've added in as much historic stuff as I can find.
Various photos & videos (in date order):
Each button links to photos for that TE www.techenders.co.uk/#Photos
Chronological history of past techenders (Some links are forum threads others are photos): www.techenders.co.uk/wanted-techenders-history-archive-photos-videos-threadsPlease help me find some older techenders stuff @tuesday wildchild rickyrooo1 & anyone else who went to earlier techenders. Ideally not stuff hosted on photobucket! Apologies for not knowing @tuesday wildchilds user name on here. I hope you are all keeping well and our paths cross again Paul |

Tuesday WildchildI went to some early ones before it moved to Eds but no pictures. It was a bit grim TBH. It started off as just a Saturday thing IIRC but a few arrived Friday night and a few stayed to Sunday morning if they had far to travel. It almost died about 10 years ago with only half a dozen attendees.

My stuff is on tlb or you tube or long dead laptop. When I 1st went in 2011? It was on its arse, 15 was considered good attendance, I like to think me and kieron saved it and I'm quite proud that when I was "booking/sorting" (although it ran itself) I got 55 vans one year, its shit now tho, just a big piss up full of idiots on the whole, lost it's way I feel, not been since April 2018 when it pissed down all weekend.

That's not meant to sound as harsh as it does but I stand by the fact that a few years ago the fixing and fun was definitely more prevalent over the bar on a fri/sat night, all recent pictures I see are people acting like dicks on the whole.

The last year I went, Keiron helped me change oil and Laurie Petit was there rebuilding an engine for that guy that sold his type 2 shortly afterwards for a T4. Can't remember his name. Can't remember the year either. Lots of fun had fixing stuff, alcohol took 2nd place. Peter Davis was there too.

The 50 or so who go year in year out would disagree with you. Yes it definitely has retained it's ultra friendly vibe. Loosing the spannering thing somewhat is down to the fact that the majority of buses are now in great condition. I remember back when most buses were hanging and run on a shoestring, if a shiny one arrived everyone stopped to ooh and ahh over it. I enjoyed the spannering, but I also enjoyed staying up all night spannered.  |

Yeah you did a great job with techenders and i'm sure no one will disagree. Thanks on behalf of those who attend now. I've read some of the threads from back in the day, whilst trying to unearth some old photos etc for this: www.techenders.co.uk/wanted-techenders-history-archive-photos-videos-threads2012 - Techenders needs you! thelatebay.com/index.php?threads/techenders-needs-you-please-read-and-advise-on-how-this-will-continue.9989/I disagree that its shit now tho. I still enjoy it (I don't drink) and loads of other people also seem to enjoy it. Lots of newcomers recently and more spannering than you imagine goes on as well. |
