BADSTAVAGANZA:// 15/16/17.July.05
Having been assured that, unlike Van Fest this year, no pre-booking, passports, identity cards or utility bills were required BAD members made their way, with pound in pocket, to Deepest Derbyshire.
The Nottingham Section arrived at Lumb Farm on Friday evening and were greeted by fellow members along with the local, geographicly challenged, village idiot who everyone assumed was a friend of someone else! ???
With the BAD Party Tent erratically erected before torches were required it was time to chill under the magnificent canopy of stars...chill?..more like freeze,,it must have been the coldest night in July ever, well since 1785 when records began!!
Nevertheless everyone survived and as the last to awake after a BAD night finally prised themselves from thier sacks the sun was already shining on the righteous. With more BADuns arriving steadily throughout the day more tinnies were opened and more sausages cremated! Whilst many of the BADkids tried to be rendered unconcious by weighty boules no trips to the D.R.I were necessary so Izzy's 10th birthday party had full attendance.
We all thought kids' parties were purely for kids and parents...but not when Wicked Uncle Kenny is on the scene.." I know you've broke your arm but you've won a lollipop!" .....the Mother of all Egg and Spoon races etc. etc. fantastic!! Izzy will not forget that one.
And so after primitively cooked posh meals, all with rice, the evening began. With numbers exceeding one hundred BADuns in their Hawaiian attire, the BPT transformed into a tropical bar, more wine than Threshers, more cans than a flock of toucans, arses were plonked on a variety of chairs awaiting the man on the spot..Krazy Kenny.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Krazy? No...just a fully professional compere and D.J. who for four hours gave us an unforgetable night which will go down in BAD History. The amount he raised in the "Crap for Cash Auction" on behalf of Brad's Cancer Fund was brilliant!
Amongst this Buggy Steve entertained us , juggling and breathing fire whilst mounted upon an 8ft unicycle afore retiring with two wenches in tow to the Van that Lives by the Sea :o ::) :o ::) :o ??? 8-)
Although I for one was reluctant to do so bed and sleep ensued 'til later.
Well what the twats shooting down reject Denby Pottery couldn't do the sun did. Jesus it was so hot on Sunday morning I thought I was in Skeggy ??? 8-)
Sunday..stay in the shade..J2os...water...lager?! although no one wanted to leave ..leave we eventually did.. leaving the geographically challenged village idiot out standing in his own field! :(bastard.
Special thanks to everyone who attended....
Extra special thanks from all at BAD VW Club..East Midlands and Beyond to the trio aka " Wonderfulwiganers
BADattitude is all that's required...Tony...BAD Team.
ps. next time Kenny bring either the dog or the neighbours,,or both!!
