Hi all, pleased to announce the first of a number of events in the South East.
I have arranged for BM to have a prescence at the 40s weekend being held at the Farriers Arms near Ashford.
The pub was founded in the 17th century and a couple of yrs
ago was in danger of being closed forever....the village rallied round
and bought the pub and its now owned as a co operative by several
hundred people!
They are keen to encourage use of the pub and grounds and its popularity is growing fast.
It has its own brewery and the ale is fine (I felt I had to try the several varieties in order to report)..
There is a restaurant and bar food too. There will be live
music although I dnt yet know exactly what! There is a mini footy pitch
and a bouls area too. Next door is a mill and the stream runs behind the
pub,the campsite is reached via a footbridge over this.
There will be a gathering of vintage cars,buses,trucks and bikes. Last yr attracted nearly 3000 folk over the weekend!
We will have a roped off area in the camping field and there is a toilet block situated there.
Washing facilities will be limited however, prob no showers although this may change.
Its a lovely place and I think will be a great atmosphere there.
I going to try to see if there can be a campfire for the eve too....
Harley club there too as may be others..
I awaiting further details and photos of last year to post for
you.......be nice if we can get a 100 to go......oh free lollipop to
