    Tankfest 2023

    HI all

    So this seems to becoming a regular fixture for Junior and I.

    I wasn't that fussed about going this year, having done it two years on the bounce but as soon as we got back last year, Junior said he wanted to go again. They had an early bird price and so we got this year's tickets at the same price as last year.

    A mate - ex-army and a history buff - and his two kids are coming too?

    Are any of you planning to be there?

    ATB.

      I'd love to, but it's too far for me.

        We're booked into a Salisbuty hotel overnight to make it workable...not cheap but a good father/son day out!

          Nope sorry. I only live on the doorstep but after spending 20 years 64 days at Bovington - I'll give it a miss!! Although I do believe Talkfest is a spectacular event.

          Edited bit - I hear the weather has a 20% - 40% chance of rain so dress accordingly!! Weather Bovi - Saturday

            Don't think swmbo would let me fly back from Fuerturventura!
            I hope everyone that goes has a great time and the weather is kind to you.

                    Not sure at the moment tbh Andrew,
                    Rach said last year that she wanted to go again too, but we're having second thoughts due to the current mega hot weather, been working out in 29-31ยฐ for the last couple of weeks,and I don't do blistering hot really.:tired:

                      My bad, when you said Saturday I assumed it was the next Saturday. I should have checked. :rolling:
                      The TM doesnโ€™t advertise in this part of the county. Previous years they have advertised on the back of buses.
