Re: Tankfest 2011 – The Most Explosive Weekend In History!
Just got your name on the list from John Andy.
Bring your AFRA card - You can arrive from Thursday onwards really and get set up - Vehicles to be off site on show days from 08.30 until 17:30.
My number and Karl's number are on the back of your AFRA card so any dramas - ring.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
Cheers
Paul

To all those coming down to Sunny Dorset for Tankfest, please keep to the speed limit. We are lucky to have a very good group of SPEED CAMERA UNITS here in Dorset. They take no prisoners!

Major thanks to PD and Stig, just two of the guys running around sorting things out all day, always with a smile and a kind word - fantastic work, guys. I could only attend Friday night / Saturday, but it was nice to chat to our neighbours, the FJR2 guys.

Big slap on the back to PD and his crew. Excellent show with what looked like a very large amount of public.

Excellent news Jim, wasnt a bad turn out the Beamish either not a reenactment event just some WW1 Scottish but nice veterans parade in the park etc plus great weather.Jim wrote:Big slap on the back to PD and his crew. Excellent show with what looked like a very large amount of public.
Must admit the only reason we went is that we had a years pass and thougth we better use it before it ran out

Unnofficial gate figures. 10,000.
Feedback about Living Hisgory, brilliant. Museum director simply said he had seen lots of happy children and that was what it was about for him. When I say a packed display area, I mean a pacmed display area!
Massive thanks to ALL who made the journey to support us, more later. Off to bed now.

Paul and Team - very well done.
We've gotten over our initial heart-attack of the pitch, but think we managed to pull off a good display in the end.
Boys from TFH - thanks for being very friendly neighbors - very refreshing and your display looked great. Thanks for the stew by the way.
The guys manning the goulash cannon - well done on making a really nice stew, it went down a treat.
I'm shattered, but really enjoyed it. Can't wait for the 2012 show now!
Well done everyone who was involved.
Cheers
Rod
