We've reached and past crunch time when we had to book the big expensive items.

Unfortunately ticket sales are not what we'd hoped and as a loss this year isn't an option (it wasn't last year really and Accy and Roy took massive personal hits) something has had to give.

The big, posh marquee is the single biggest expense and we've taken the decision to find a way without it.

We have LZ towers and the idea is to try and raise the funds to purchase another of similar size and sort out flooring for ourselves.

Some of the organisers have clubbed together and pledged £250 which is stunning but it's not enough so we're asking everyone to get behind the event as much as possible.

More than anything we need ticket sales so promoting and spreading the word would really help.

Time.....If we're going to be setting up 2 marquees instead of having one done for us then we need hands on Friday, the more the merrier.

If anyone has a good source of carpet/matting for flooring we'd love to hear it (we all know it will be glorious sunshine so it dunt really matter )

To be clear we're keeping the nice toilets and everything else stays the same with laning sat/sun, sat night bar and disco and option Sunday for the off road coarse.

There's a good crowd of people coming and a lot of time gone in behind the scenes so whatever happens from now it'll be a great weekend and more input can only make it better

Best I can do is a 3x3m gazebo with a slightly bent leg, and I'd still be there if I could.

I am coming but just havn't been able to get my ticket yet. Will be able to next week I expect (I'm a student so I am allowed to be late :roll eyes

My apologies, I know it's very frustrating trying to organise things when people keep giving you maybes and then likely don't go. I've been in that situation a fair few times!

+1 x10000000000,00000000000000

Come on everyone... you ALL use this forum, a lot of you daily... Many have had advice, used LZIR, made friends, laughed, despaired, found out what everyone is having for their tea...

The 'planners' have put a great deal of time and energy into this event, not for themselves, but so we can ALL have a fun weekend, go landing, have a few drinkies and perve at each other's landy's, and possibly each other

So support it... LZ isn't free to run, and events aren't free to plan and make happen.

DIG DEEP.....





oh, it aint children in need.


Same diff... buy your tickets! I mean, who doesn't want to see me break my new landy?!!!

Certainly looks big enough n i'm sure there will be plenty of hands to help erect it! !! if it had been a different weekend i could've borrowed the boc's marquee but i believe they are using it, but will still ask the question if you want?

There is a someone I know with a marquee that I may possibly be able to beg/borrow/steal for a weekend.

Will have to find out the size of it though as I can't remember but it is pretty big. Does have sides too.

I can find out by this weekend if that's ok?

That would be great thanks.

If we need to buy one we have to order in a weeks time to make sure it's delivered on time and hope we sell enough additional tickets to cover the cost.
