ZED – FEST 13

 

Once again I am pleased to announce that the above event will be held at Sherbrooke Scout Camp, Mansfield Lane, Calverton, Notts. NG14 6HP on Friday, Saturday and Sunday,9, 10,11 August 2013. Please note that the date has been brought further forward to avoid the clash with JAE.

 

For those of you who are new to Sherbrooke there are 22 acres of grassland plus a five acre wood.. There is one clean but basic toilet block with loos, wash basins and showers. There is a modern barn and social centre with outside patio area and picnic benches. Oil drum BBQ’s are freely available.

 

We will have excellent catering on site. All main meals plus snacks will be available at reasonable cost between 8am and 10pm. There will not be a bar this year. You are encouraged to provide your own drinks (we do request that you try to avoid glass bottles). We will hold an inter club sports competition with some “easy” motoring related sports. Your cars will be on show for the whole event and judging will be held on Sunday lunchtime followed by prizegiving. Fancy dress on Saturday night is optional.

 

Background music for the entire event will be provided by our very own DJZ complete with lazer and smoke show. There will be dancing on Friday and Saturday nights.

 

There will be an entry fee charged of £15 per person for the event. You can pay at the gate. Camping will be £2.50 per person per night. Caravans & mobile homes admitted at extra charge ( hook-ups are now available). Small children and pets free. Local hotels and B&B’s are available but you are requested to make your own arrangements. Please be aware that the main paddock where you will park up and pitch your tents will be a ‘quiet area’ All gazebos etc for evening gatherings should be set up in the central paddock to avoid undue noise and disturbance.

 

TRADERS; All club traders are invited to attend. You can set up your own display, big or small for a donation of £20 for the whole event. Come and meet your customers in a friendly convivial atmosphere. It’s good to see the voice on the phone or the finger on the keyboard. If you don’t want to set up a display a gazebo and a banner will suffice just come along and show your customers who you are.

 

Free car booting for non traders to get rid of those useful parts you no longer need.

 

Once again I will need the help of volunteers to assist with the smooth running. It is always good to see new faces helping out.

 

There is still much to plan and new ideas are always welcome. Please mark these dates on your calendar, this will be a weekend to remember. Further information will be circulated as it becomes available.

 

All enquiries to me, “Arkwright” email: shop@zclub.net

 

My thanks to Richard Smith for authorising this thread.

For those of you who don’t want to make a full weekend of it but would like to enter the car show on Sunday the entry fee will be £5. Hot food and drinks or soft drinks will be available from 8am. Cars will be judged from 11am

Hi Derek, can I just clarify the price for the camping?

 

£2.50 per person per night? Surely it should be per tent per night. Cos it would make absolutely no difference if I was in my tent alone or with Neen?

sorry Bird campsite rules. (Been that price since we moved there)

It's still pants lol

I think its based around the idea that you wouldn't bring a 12 man tent if you were on your own. ie pitch size taken up etc.

Yeah, but I bring a decent size one ;)

Tent?

Do you lot actually sleep at this meet?

No drinking all night long?

I am disappointed, Especially in Bird........lol

I don't sleep, hardly ever. I just go to the tent whn everyone else disappears. I was last up both night last year. And I was last up at LakeZ last night too.

 

Anyway, when you coming to a meet?

As soon as the wife lets me out without the kids in tow......lol

I wanted to take our 16 year old foster boy to Jap show and meet up with you all, but funding and her moaning about leaving her with my 2 boy's stopped that...lol

So I had bootsale and boredom all weekend....lol

I am going to try to get to some, but need to get my Zed done first.....lol

Haven't got long for Zed fest..... so going to get welding this week.... Here's to not blowing holes....lol

wouldn't be the same in my saab.....lol

Mate, you'd be welcome in anything.

 

I'm going to japfest 2 on Sunday 7th as well. Then there's JAE in September
