Many of you will know about this, the annual forum get together at Marston Moretaine, near Bedford.

For the uninitiated it's a relaxed bbq cammping weekend where you get to chill out with loads of forum users and talk Capris.
It's £10 for camping or £5 if you just want to spend the day. Either way you don't want to miss it so make sure you keep the weekend of July 5th free!

Tickets can now be bought by paypal and more information in available at: http://www.fordcapriforum.com/crap/

Ahem.. thoroughly recommended this. Most relaxed meet ever, social club right next door with lovely breakfasts.. lovely cars, lovely people, lovely beer.. few trophy chasers, just good genuine people getting together for a good kick back and a socialise. What have you got to lose... aside from your sobriety for a day or two...

'twas guessable for the regulars anyway :cheers:
These events don't just happen by themselves, someone needs to be working behind the scenes to make sure it all runs smoothly, someone has stepped up to the plate again. If it's 90 degrees again can you put the raffle prizes in the Pub's fridge please, that box of choccies I won only had one choccy in it, triangular shaped, funny coloured & of various flavours & stuck to one corner of the box :lol: :lol:
I hope to be there friday night as usual just in time to get a bag of jockey's whips for tea then pitch the tent before dark & drinks.

Stick me on the list admin, my year is never complete without getting ratted in a field in bedfordshire once a year.

I'll see if I can egg Andy G down this year. I also work with a mate of his who might be game.
