Whos going to badders 2007?

[H-J]

I know its a couple of months away but who is going to spectate at Badminton in May?

I bought my mum tickets for Mothers day yesterday!

We are just going on the sat to watch the XC - hopefully it will be nice weather

 

[kick_On]

ME! doing both dressage day

but will walk course on weds pm and if i can run out of work quickly will get there for first trot up

 

[rema]

Yay going for 5 days in our caravan!.Cannot wait.

 

[Baggybreeches]

Hmm, the OH did mention that he would like to go, but tis only 2 weeks before our trip on the Orient Express to Venice, so perhaps a little over indulgent to have 2 long weekends away in such a short space of time!

 

[SouthWestWhippet]

I'm going to SJ day for the first time. Usually do XC but thought would give the SJ a go for a change.

Feeling very excited (and already compiling my shopping list LOL)

 

[Safina]

Me me me me me.....well, me and my sister. This will be our 3rd year of camping for the whole thing and I cannot wait. We are planning on arriving first thing on Thursday and not leaving until last thing on Sunday.

 

[H-J]

Cool - Im going to camp @ Burghley this year with my friends as the weather is always sooo nice!!!

Do you know if you are alowed to take your box to camp??

 

[katiejaye]

just booked my tickets...yey! Going on friday to watch the dressage and on sat for the XC.

 

[Safina]

I think so - at Badders you are allowed tents/carvans/camper vans/horseboxes etc so I'd assume the same rules apply.

 

[welshchick]

Booked my tickets right after the box office opened! LOL! Will go to watch the XC on Saturday and the SJ on Sunday. Don't need to stay overnight as it's only a 50 minute drive away from where I live.

 

[madgirl]

hope so!

 

[tw1nn1ejo]

Hopefully yes! Havn't booked tickets yet but mum will hopefully pay for me on the XC and I'll pay for the SJ

Can't wait!

 

[Reashi]

Yes! Booked with our camper van for all 5 days.

 

[Cloud9]

I have booked and received my tickets for xc day - going with the boyfriend who has had no choice in becoming an eventing fan!!!

 

[Ferdinase514]

Am going for XC and SJ with OH

HJ - when i went to Burgley in 2004 there was no campsite actually on site, but there are many privately run camp sites near by and very cheap too.

 

[Vix1978]

I've just downloaded all the ticket info. I think there is going to be a bus-load from the yard, and muggins here seems to have been lumbered with organising it...

 

[Safina]

Are you staying over T? Fancy meeting up?

(PS, how did the move go?)

 

[Taz975]

Am I the only one thats going only for the shopping?! Im going on the thursday

 

[Ferdinase514]

Navillio and I are staying at a B&B in Bathford - couldn't convince him to camp for all 4 days

Shall we meet on Sat after XC. Prob will hang around and have food and shop waiting for traffic to die down

Move was fine - his fatness has settled very well. Went for a plod this morning and survived

 

[Safina]

Oh yes that would be fab.....A won't be drinking so I'll need someone to share a glass of wine with!

I bet it was weird leaving? I take it the sheenster will still be riding Finn?

(PS did you hear my news....finally got a ribbon at XC this weekend.....clear and 8 secs under optimum time)

 

[Ferdinase514]

I know - G told me

Well done you!

The Sheenster situation is a long story..... Best ask G

 

[sw123]

Im sure ive asked this before! But who will you be grooming for?

I cant wait - I love going for the food stops too! The cavery stands are delicious!!!

 

[Safina]

Me too....the falafel pitta man and the mexican burrito man by the big screen are my utter utter faves. Saying that...I adore the food and wines tents as well

 

[lizzie_liz]

I hope i can go if my exams are near the end of the exam period and if i am going home to 2nd round TB the next day!

 

[Twiglet]

I'm meant to be, but have left it stupidly late to find somewhere to stay on the Friday night! Was going to camp, but I think I'll wimp out of that, and my friend who normally puts me up is going to be 8 months preggers!
May be an early morning drive down on XC day......

 

[Ferdinase514]

Yay! Then you can come and hve drinks with us

 

[SSM]

We were meant to be camping, however we are not sure Bumble Dog will be up for 3 nights - so will probably just come down on the Saturday - weather permiting!

PS Yes Bumble Dog is coming for the day!!
