The low down or stock down if you're that way!

So the aim of the blog is to keep you guys up to date with the going's on in the lead up to the 1st Cotswold gathering.

I'll aim to provide all details here and on the forum.

Right then so the gathering itself is open to all Aircooled buses from those weird big bum flapped niche thing's ;-) through your Splits, Bays early and Late and even up to the T25's.
Sorry T4 & T5 boys you're more than welcome to come and visit but can't park in the field etc. (Other camping is available locally)

So this years event takes place on the same weekend as the village fayre, this is a charity event earning fund's for the church and village committee and involves load's of little stalls selling 2nd hand books, kid's toys, 2nd hand clothes, home made cakes etc. Theirs even a dog show!!

The gathering is a free event if you bring a Bus :-) Camping will be provided and the field will also have a loo in or nearby all night. (Please bring a torch though!!)

Saturday evening will see a bar provided by the Village fayre committee serving local beers and normally in the past bottles of wine.

It will also (weather permitting) host a band on the Saturday night.

Food this year won't be provided (TBC) but i can look at arranging one of the village BBQ's to be in place.

All proceeds head straight back to the village fayre, I'm not making a penny from it.

Aim of the weekend is just to enjoy an amazing little village, sit in the sun (No promises!!) and just enjoy the pleasure's of owning a bus.

Here's a link to the village site - http://coldaston.com/coldaston/fayre/index.php

Right, off to the pub to talk nicely to my local MOT tester ;-) but will update more soon!

P.S Steffan, I've nicked a picture of your bus...it's a pretty little thing!
