Do you need a special licence for a minibus? Does a car one cover you up til so-many people??
dont quote me, but would it not be the same as hireing a van?
I' ll be in...but dont ask me to drive..I am a typical woman driver ;)
Going up on the 27th, its the last day and they've called it mad Sunday, as the day is dedicated to road racing with the main riders present :)
If you have an older licence there is an entitlement for mini buses and up to 7.5t vehicles, which wont be present on newer licences.Quote:

Most old buggers have it as standard, most new drivers don't even get catagory E (trailers) automatically anymore ... DVLA making even more money off people

Im an old bugga hehe........found out all about the stupid rules with the D1 thing when trying to drive the minibus for our disabled residents...bloody stupid....even us with the D1 couldnt take the residents out 'cos they paid their mileage etc....bloody rubbish.
I am willing to drive the minibus if necessary ( i dont tend to drop minibuses at the same rate I drop bikes by the way hehehe)...Kev said he would too but he doesnt know his shifts yet......but we havent booked tickets....can you buy them on the day??
:D :D :D
I've always bought them on the day in the past Tina but you had better check to be safe.

I've got D1 on my licence and depending on when you go I'd be happy to share the driving too Tina :)
me and alex would be up for the mini bus and sharing the cost,think it would be a great idea,all going together.
Cool!
So
What day then? First Sunday would be good for me, Saturday even?
Cut & paste names below for the minibus please?

can we do either the 26th or 27th as most of us are at the charlie boorman the weeekend before,
Dilemma... First weekend or last? Last weekend you usually get loads of cheap stuff, especially on the last day where they sell stuff for like £2.37 coz they cant be arsed to load it in thew truck and take it back home again.
Trouble is all the "normal" sizes went days ago and you are left with tat in XXS and XXL. :D ;D
If theres enough wanting to go then maybe two buses could be organised maybe ??
A double-decker, like Cliff Richards "Summer Holiday"?? :D
We can only do the last weekend.
Neither weekend is entirely financially viable for me so Im easy, lol

Being a greerally anti-social bu**er and due to other committmemts I tend to go during the week when it's quieter.
But the mini bus and get pi**ed idea is a good'un. Used to take the train and get pi**ed, am looking into advanced tickets!!! :D

Monster (Stu) 1st weekend only for me
If not working, I'll probably go up one day during the week, possibly Wednesday 23rd Nov.
I'll confirm that date nearer the time ( if I'm defo still not in employment)
If I do go up that day, happy to take a couple of others up with me in car..... (contribution to petrol costs would be good !!)
PM me in a few weeks time if interested in a mid-week trip up. :)
Yep, then Chili Peppers in eve, what a trip 8-).
should this not go on the trips section
Already booked the 21st off work
Rosie Me and Lou are thinking of going Monday 21st :)
Got me "e-tickets" !!! Going up Weds 23rd :)
I'm getting tempted to take a day off work as I have not been to this show for 30 years! Plus I got my old Previa back on the road which can take 8 adults (only does 24mpg though). Will have to see what days I can take off :)Quote:
