Archive Gallery - Fig 09 - June 20th - 21st 2009 - Fritton Lake Country Park, Norfolk

Having driven from High Wycombe (3 1/2 hours) our little Fig was in need of a rest when we reached the venue on mid-day Saturday. A warm welcome from Richard and pink wristband was followed by handing over £40 for two cars and two tents. This is fantastic value for money when you stop to consider it includes all the facilities and evenings entertainment.

The afternoon was wet and the weather against us as we pitched out two tents in a superb idyllic location next to a 9 hole golf course. Next time I will bring my clubs! The afternoon was spent dodging rain showers whilst we explored the lovely surroundings. The evening disco and hog roast was a real hit with drink and great music flowing into the early hours. My Son Daniel and his friend Becky made quite an impression on the dance floor! The next day we were all nursing hangovers as we prepared for the convoy.
 
As we drove into the field we were faced with a fantastic site of around 50 Figaro's in a large circle around the field. We took our place and chatted to other owners as more and more tuned up at the gate. Around 9.50 the call went out to get into your cars and get your engines running. As the cars made there way down the lane towards the main road the site of 85 Figaro's was awesome. The convoy drove towards Great Yarmouth horns honking and drivers waving at everyone. The scooter boys did a great job blocking roundabouts to ensure the convoy was not broken. A short stop was followed by the trip to the seaside road and more honking. The convoy then became a bit broken as some cars went back and others parked.
 
The trip back to the field was lead by the scooter boys. Bang on cue the sun came out as we drove into the filed and lined up. We handed out our Figaro Owners Leaflets to spread the word and talked to loads of owners as we exchanging stories. At 4pm we walked back to the hall for prizes giving. Congratulations to the following owners of the cars.

Did we get the world record for the most Figaro's? Paul is
telling us that he has sent in the pictures and competed the
application forms. It takes 6 weeks to process to watch this space.
