Lincolnshire / Cambs Tech Day?

Post by **Vladaria** » 02 Aug 2006, 07:54

Hi All,
As I'm very, very new to owning a T25 and need to learn the
basics of Oil, Filter & Plug changing (+ any other basic maintenace)
how about an informal tech day?

I live nr Spalding in the countryside & my house benefits from a 115ft double driveway

- so quite a few vans could fit on!
If a "guru" fancies lending their advice we could all learn
how to do stuff together and I'm quite happy to provide the tea,
bacon sandwiches and toilet facilities......
there's also quite a few nice areas to visit nearby and a
"proper" camp ground with hook up's at the end of the road (1/2 mile if that).

If lots of people fancy coming then I might be able to pursuade a local farmer to lend me a barn....

Any takers or suggestions for dates?

What a great idea, we are from Boston so only down the road and also new to t25's so this would be ideal for us too

Please please please someone say they can come teach us

Not sure about teaching, but i'd be up for a meet, i'm 18 miles from Spalding, 25 from Boston and dont mind giving opinions on electricery and camper based stuff.......

There are quite a few of us round this part now, and after a long time of being out in this fenland wilderness on me own, there might be enough of us to make a meet locally......

put a call out to the others, there are a few round peterboro too....

Sounds like this might be a go-er!
If people wanted to stop over we can have a bar-b-que after
and a few beers...How about this weekend Sunday 6th August?
Could also do Sunday 13th at a push
(deeping Raft Race is that weekend)

(Harewood House is on the 20th & Run to the Hills is the 27th)

If anyone knows any others around Peterborough area
or are on any other forums can you extend the invite &
get them to reply here?

I'll get the WD40 in then shall I??

Sorry to hijack this thread........

George what colour/age bus do you drive??? I work in ely and regularly see 3 different T25's when I'm out and about at lunchtime.
If you see the brown/beige one that's me!!!

Would love to make it for this tech session/meet but this weekend I'm refitting my camping interior then the following weekend I'm off to wales for a couple of weeks.
