🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿😇 I was there.on my little patch in the far corner of the field of landrover heaven.Absolutly loved every bit of it. Landrover nutters, lovers ,nerds,boffins,collectors,students ,clubers & everything & everyone infected by the green oval bug.
I also spoke,sold and bought stuff to old & new (friends now) from all over Britain and as far as Nepal,Germany,Netherlands,France etc.
Special thanks to the German gentleman/herr for the jump start they gave my defenders flat battery.So,many thanks to them,& gotten fart as they say in Germany,again many thanks to them .

I also had a good time and felt it went well and is back to the ethos of the past events.

Chucking an idea out there...

What appetite might there be for us as a club to run a stall next time? I'm thinking quite a big pitch and maybe a couple of club gazebos where our own members can buy and sell Series 2 and 2A specific parts (there will inevitably be some other bits). Costs of the stand might be an issue, but if there was a focal point of Series 2/2A stalls that might be quite a magnet - especially if we pushed it a bit on here and FB before the event.

It would need to be made clear that the club is not selling - just individual members, but I thought it might make a nice social occasion and make more of a day of it than just flogging stuff on our own. We could also tie the main S2C stand in with other club members who want to run their own stalls so we are all able to pitch together. I think the organisers might quite like that.

Just a thought, but I'd welcome any feedback

Excellent idea! Members selling Series parts, whilst simultaneously having the Series 2 Club "brand" on display could really work. It gives members the opportunity to have that sort-out and make a bit of cash, and also advertising the club and it's benefits. A handful of membership signups off the back of it could pay for the pitch

Go for it !

Get the date of the 2024 event in the diary and plan ahead. Get some banners out and the gazebo

The Series 1 had a stand there

[gcc130]

I wasn't aware of the Series 1 club having a stand at Newbury.
Several area reps had stands Somerset, Wilts, Bristol & Glos(myself) and the Sussex area rep had a stand selling some club shop items alongside his own parts.

[Alan Drover]

I somehow missed those stands.

Checked the strength of the antifreeze, she's good for minus 31C

Blue Ineos Grenadier and Green Defender 130 parked together.

[Alan Drover]

I saw the Grenadier. My mate preferred the 130..

[gcc130]

I prefer my 130 too😄

Picked the series up from the garage, accidentally dropped a bolt into the flywheel housing and they fished it out for me.

Drove Grover into the big city for the first time since adjusting the carb - did really well and purred like a kitten at stops. Anyway, while pulling into the shop, I noticed the path that's getting worn into the grass. I guess it goes to show just how much I've been driving Grover this year.  On a bad note... I noticed the oil trail left after pulling in.  The last time a trail like this was left, the O-ring on the 4-wheel drive selector shaft had gone bad.  It's either that or the front output shaft seal went bad. Guess I'll need to crawl underneath and investigate.

Tried loading pics, but for some reason they won't load/post.
