Well we talked both on and off line and the decision was made ..

IF IT AINT BROKEN WHY FIX IT ..

So here are the details we have ..

Location : Crickhowell Wales .. North of Newport in the Brecon Beacon National park

Date : 25th / 26th July .. not definate but probable..

So after 100nxc 08 we decided to give this another go, this is just a meet for NXrs new and old to catch up, meet up and just have a bit of fun

you know I could keep on going .. but Chris said it all so well last year .. why change it ..

We are going to Park Farm, Llangattock, Crickhowell, near Abergavenny. Just on the English/Welsh border close to the M5 (junction 8) via the M50 then the A40 and the M4 (Junction 24, Newport). The A40 runs right through Crickhowell. For most it is motorway and dual carriageway almost all the way.

Distances; from the Severn Bridge; 34 miles, Bristol, 46 miles; Birmingham via M5, M50, A40; 90 miles; Central London via M4, Severn Bridge, etc.; 160 miles. Pembroke Dock, 100 miles. Manchester, 173 miles (160 of them motorway/dual carriageway!)

Take a look for yourselves. From http://uk.msn.com/ go to maps at the top of the page. Look for Crickhowell, it will try to find businesses first but select locations. Use the aerial setting and zoom in. The site is just to the south of the town, you can see the caravans and tents if you look closely. Go to Google and look for Crickhowell or Llangattock websites too. A fabulous area for a Meet. Use AutoRoute if you have it or see what your Sat Nav can tell you!

The site is brilliant. A permanent campsite on a farm, easy access road, pub within 200 metres. The small town of Crickhowell is less than a mile away, chippie and basic shops there. Abergavenny is about 7 miles away with supermarkets and takeaways by the score. We should have a separate field to ourselves. The toilet block was refurbished a year or so back, free hot water and showers. I've used this site dozens of times over the years. For those who prefer not to camp there should be plenty of B & Bs around the area.

There's talk of a treasure hunt in the Welsh Hills. We will provide activities for the energetic but I suspect most will just settle on a quiet weekend with friends, old and new. Some of us plan to arrive on Thursday and some may stay on for a few days more after the weekend. The campsite has a simple charge system; you pay a basic site charge per person per night. Stay on another night; pay another night's camping fee. Take a few days off work and stay longer if you wish. Last year the campsite fee was £5 per person per night.

We hope to have a comemorative badge for the event too. No NXer can afford to miss this event!

Let's make this the greatest gathering of NXs ever seen in the British Isles!

and yes the site was superb, safe and even for an Irish family that decided to take the alternative route to get there at 1am .. not that hard to find..

so if you are thinking of arriving down why not come for the weekend
and if you are in contact with nxrs from the past send them a mail and see if they can make it along..

all are welcome apart .. now is the time to book that extended weekend we all deserve..


With Jae now being pushed out to Sept, it will make a nice break in the summer months..

"TeJero - might bring a friend depends if i can buy one before hand.."

You have to buy friends nowadays, Jane? Strange, you seemed quite nice last time I met you

Gonna do my best to come to this one...which is strange seeing as I don't own an NX anymore, but I really want to see what Dave, Jan and Danii do to L798!! Work's a lot quieter this year ( didn't even get a bonus, pffftt! ) so I'm a 99% definite. Just got to make sure I don't phone the hotel from last year that I naughtily didn't turn up at and also lost his details so couldn't pay him

[b4be]

aha ....knew it , company round the fire too good to resist eh art lol

[artpringle]

Good company, beer, burgers, sheep.......erm, ahem yeah, well, you know what I mean!!
Really wanted to go last year, but work got in the way. And it's end of July so the weather's going to be good

[Jan]

i think dannii will go to this if we can get there. and of course will be in your nx art. i know the 1st thing dave wants to do to it is something that sounds kinky, he was on about smothering it in wax. so long as its only danniis car i'll let him!!

[Phil]

I'm really looking forward to this after the last one

[Jan]

have to admit it was fun and felaxing something we all need

[zoomdog]

aye .. but for us it is a bit weird arriving at 4am and hearing the dawn chorus ..
granted did manage to get the car washed at 7 in a nearby town .

like you jan am look forward to relaxing around the camp fire..

[NXPete]

well if it stays the same dates i may be coming down may also be coming down with my friend in his skyline if thats alright with you guys?

Pete
