The team Industrial quality bikerack is ready, Flag pole mark IV (which is taller than my house) is ready, will it be any better than the dismal other attempts. The truck is loaded with junk with enough room for about 20 bikes more, and loads of other stuff.

One thing I am stuck with though is music ????? the spare car stereo i had is ferked, and my boombox is useless. 

So can anyone offer any portable music, preferably that works off 12 volts worth of batteries, or an old CD playing car stereo I can borrow. Went looking round some places yesterday but all I nearly bought was a bouncy castle, no really they had some full size bouncy castles for sale at the bargain store in Corby, how cool would that be. Go on 40 quid for some fun for your kids you know you want one.

With a 6 berth Caravan, Stu's wagon and the marquee, theres plenty of room to sleep, Ron and others.

But by old do you mean pre-CD. dunno about you but I ditched tapes ages ago.
Glynn do you have an amp with any aux/line input phono connections, as I have a phono to 3.5mm jack then we can plug anybodys mp3 player/ipod into it and bingo. Otherwise its bring some cd's along of music of your choice to, otherwise you get Jack Crap

i've got an ipod speaker system, which is 240v and is 'kin loud,and hopefully will work from the genny/caravan there is an outside plug so should work, (bring your ipods) also caravan has pretty good cd system, and will work off 12v, windows open and we got a disco thats about all i can do!!!

Alison is worried that all we're gonna do is eat crap and drink all weekend, I told her that's the WHOLE point but she still doesn't seem to understand!!!!!!! If anyone can think of owt else we need............
