Bovington tank museum meet 2012 (split)

So, BX Club meeting at Bovington next year? (Crushing of cars isn't something I encourage - but a Limo full of TOWIEs would be hard to resist).

I'm intrigued as to how to crush the contents of a Limo without crushing the Limo ?

I've been looking in "Events & Meetings" section and looks like there's the big Harrogate meet next summer, so probably unlikely that many people will want to go to the Bournemouth area.

Unless some people down in the Bournemouth and SW areas want to organise something down there themselves in the "Events & Meetings" section. If they do, I would go down.

Only porblem is ...maybe no-one down in those areas are reading this. Ho hum.

It would seem an ideal opportunity for those from the SW and South Coast for whom the usual things like CCC National/Wetherby/Stratford - and even the ICCCR Harrogate are a bit too far - to get together. I'd go, and although I'm in Essex it's no further for members from the Midlands so we could get a decent turnout.

Double post - again. Something's going wrong at BXC Central.

Hopefully no double post again ...
I agree, it's not much further for me to get to Bournemouth (Bovington) than you, just needs someone from SW and South Coast to read this, no point us trying to start it up.

thanks for the split admins.

OK. Who's up for a BX trip to Bovington Tank Museum in the early Summer of next year then?

Been to the museam several times, best is Tank Fest when they drive some around, which they do a few times a year.

Tank Fest is in August IIRC-went last year but was dissapointed that the Tiger tank was not run.

Anyway, I am up for it if it doesn't clash with other things.

Count me in. I got my 'Fall of Berlin' figure vignette out this evening. I'm going to start working on it again next week. Now look what you've done!

Where I'm up to . . .

They're there by implication. The Volksturm chap is saying; ' Just behind that smoking pile of rubble that used to be the Reichstag, are so many T34s and seriously pissed off Russians, that if if I were you I'd put down that old plank and do what I'm about to do . . . run!

Maybe this is what they are pointing at:
