I got a message telling me it had been put in a magazine last night, when I was organising it I was approached by a mag but with discussion with the old hands it was decided a bad idea, Ed liked the fact I/we knew the people personally who were wandering around his barn etc (he had some gear nicked at another vw event) at the last t/e Ed and Jack pulled me aside and told me of a certain person in attendance they would rather not see again, I really hope it doesn't backfire. I'll be visiting later in the year to see how he is but won't be attending Aprils event.

Just out of interest how many can the site take? 200 plus vans there on split events I've seen

Just out of interest how many can the site take? Bottom field I'd guess 50 comfortably top field probably 6 times that but it part sloping. Biggest restriction is power outlets.

As Rick says it's the knowing people that has made it such a great weekend, sure no one knew me before I went and some still have denial issues.
Anyone know who published? Come on name and shame.

That's Zed not going then for my stepson did an article once and zed didn't like the idea of it being advertised. Think he was worried about attracting the T5 crowd that just drink and be loud. I've sort of reached a natural end with it and won't be going this time. Long live Techenders.

I'm guessing as it's in camper and bus and they approached me via a member on tlb who works there that he's now approached either paul calf/baysearcher or maybe even took it on himself? Who knows, as I said I'm happy my duration as c.c. was a successful time and good luck to all future events

You all probably know this but there is a thread on TLB and as it gets closer to the time Doug is starting a who is going list. Don't think is matters to much if there are more than 1 list, there are people like me me who visit both sites so if needed the list for here can be copied and pasted to over there as my understanding is that Doug is organising it. Not sure what will happen re people just turning up from the advert I suppose it is a natural progression of TE and we will wait to see if it is a good or bad one! On another note @rickyroo, was it me he didn't want back 😳?

I don't think anyone off here is overly worried about the list etc, I'm certainly not bothering with one on here, I think tlb should continue to "publicise" it to be honest there's not the members on here to overly worry about it. No it wasn't you it was that weird Scottish bloke with the hat and dog.

No it wasn't you it was that weird Scottish bloke with the hat and dog. I've never been, probably because there is one bloke who goes who I think is a complete ****. If after an advert it is now an all comers event then that appeals even less. There's plenty of weird people ... for me the hat and dog doesn't narrow it down.

The dog hat man was a tlb newbie I didn't know him

We'll be going because I'll never hear the end of it from Jan if we don't go. I was really surprised about the inclusion into the camper magazine but if someone wants to go based on that advert they'll go onto the techenders website and get a fair idea of what they're getting into. It has lost some of its exclusivity though and if lots of random people turn up it'll probably be our last visit because it was nice putting names to faces and knowing that although we were all different we did have TLB in common.

Is it that bloke that had the brown van? Think it was called Hollywood Pants or something like that. :-)

Come to think of it there's probably more than one .... Never heard of Hollywood Pants ... who was he. The one I'm thinking of it probably considered more mainstream.

In the past it was never a TLB thing, that was just these last few years because it was dying out and a good job they did in reviving it , Keeping these things on a single forum makes it cliquey, and it was and has become that, just look at the same 6/7/8 posters who take the thread over after every event, That puts as many if not more people off from going as those that do go, everything evolves over time, maybe it'll be good maybe not.
