Re: In all seriousness - 30 years of Syncro
He he, obviously there's a bit of snogging going on in hidden corners.
I meant proper trading like there was at Syncro 25.

Re: In all seriousness - 30 years of Syncro
Well... nobody's ever thought it worth setting up a stall for one and a half days with only 20 to 30 vans there, not exactly a Vanfest or Camperjam!
We are there mainly to meet socially and drive, although showing new products and bringing spares and second hand bits will always be a small part of that.
Lots of pre-ordered parts have been delivered to people and even vans viewed and potential sales agreed in the past, often at Coney Farm in April being first event.
... and of course we hire the land fundamentally for camping and driving on.
Daniel & Yves (2) did set their French market stall out 2 years ago I seem to remember, and the quality and prices for cheese and wine unmissable!

Italy gets my vote! Did an eight day West Alp mountain tour this summer there. Unbelievable scenery, wild camping no problem, really can recommend!

New vans are great but they just ain't got no soul!

You mean replace a UK meet & re-convene in Liguria or go there earlier, say make it a May event like Syncro 25.

Otherwise an early August event...

Re: 30 years of Syncro?
We could be up for this. Not sure our wheezy JX would be up for too many big, steep hills...
