Bristol Christmas Cruise 2008! - Sunday 14th December.Hello everyone,After a great success last year with more than 200 cars attending, the Christmas cruise is on again this year. It is taking place on Sunday 14th of December meeting on the Bristol Downs at 1.30pm - see the start place on the map. The cruise will start at 2pm so please try arrive on time. 
This is the route the cruise will take http://tinyurl.com/BristolChristmascruise2008 Much more detailed instructions for the route can be found here: http://krazydubclub.co.uk/crimbocruise/Cruiseroute2008.pdf - if possible PLEASE PRINT THESE DETAILS SO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING. The aim is to also have small signs by the roadside at all the major junctions, marked with a VW logo or similar. The route has been modified since last year due to a few traffic flow issues. The cruise will end up at the Golden Heart pub, Winterbourne. This is just off the Bristol ring road, with easy access to the M4 and M5. Some hot food will be availiable at the pub - details will be posted nearer the time. A suggested minimum of £1 per person contribution is asked for - the proceeds will be split between Brads Cancer Foundation (http://www.brads.org.uk/) and Props (Providing Opportunities and Support for those with special needs) (http://www.props4ward.org/). This will be collected from the same table as the hot drinks at the start of the cruise. A limited number of special edition 'Bristol Christmas Cruise' stickers will be availiable for the first people to donate 
Hot food will also be available at the downs before the cruise from Steve of Cookin' Camper (http://cookincamper.co.uk/index.htm) as well as free hot drinks provided by Danbury motorcaravans (Again, donations for charity would be appreciated) Last year lots of cars were decorated for the event with lights, tinsel etc which was brilliant and really made people stop and stare even more - So this year, the more tinsel, fairy lights and other Christmassy tat the better! There will be chocolate PRIZES! For the best decorated vehicle and the furthest travelled! All old VWs are welcome - that includes T25s, new beetles, mk1/2 golfs etc. I'm not gonna say someone can't come! If you have any problems or questions before the event, then email bristolchristmascruise@googlemail.com. If you would like to email me on the above address, I can email you a reminder or any up-to-date information regarding the event. If you have any problems (break-downs etc) on the day or during the cruise, you can ring me on O7528 572763. Please also feel free to bring walkie talkies on the cruise – we used them last year with some success. Finally, if you are arriving from the North of Bristol on the M5, or on the M4, this map should help you arrive at the cruise start point. http://tinyurl.com/ChristmascruiseM4 And here are some more detailed instructions with photos. http://krazydubclub.co.uk/crimbocruise/FromM4.pdf If you arriving from Anywhere else, use this link http://tinyurl.com/ChristmascruiseM4 and then change the start point 'A' on the LHS to your postcode/start point. Google maps should then provide you with a route to the cruise start point on the Bristol Downs/overlooking the suspension bridge. 
Danny Lord, who won the prize last year for 'furthest travelled' - travelling over 400 miles round trip to attend. 
And the winner of the best decorated car last year... 
Huge thanks to all those who have helped with the organising - Shamrockez, Dagg's, The CCR Beaver, Rob75, Kank, Flying Split (for hosting the files on the Krazy Dub Club website).

Been told this evening that Danbury motorcaravans will be providing free teas and coffee at the Downs before the start of the cruise - so a huge thanks to them
|
||||
| Tofufi |
Just a quick update
Steve from Cookin'Camper will be attending the cruise and selling hot food at the downs before the cruise
All ingredients are locally sourced and freshly prepared - and I'm sure warm food would be appreciated, especially by those who have travelled long distances (It would be nice to have a rough idea of numbers, too).
Menu to be confirmed, but soups and bacon rolls look likely
For more information, check out his website http://cookincamper.co.uk/index.htm
|
||||
| PIMP DADDY HARRY |

|
||||
| Tofufi |
Cool!
2 weeks to go now!
For all those who are attending, just a quick update... As well as Steve @ cookin'camper before the cruise, there will also be hot stew @ the pub after the cruise. £4.00 ish, also the pub kitchen will be open but only limited availability (first come first served) Hopefully we may have sorted extra parking at the pub too
|
||||
| PIMP DADDY HARRY |
