    My views:
    Paying peeps not on. I for one would feel I had to get up early and perform. I get on fine staggering about scrounging from the others. :)

    In the past it has been more organised as far as teaching people to service their engines and brakes. If there are 10 people all servicing their engines for the first time it works. But it's not always like that.

    As far as organising the actual "event" it's just pick a day from Eddies choices and get him to book it in. Then nearer the time let him know approx how many are coming so he can set the price as cheap as possible - I know this sounds unlikely but but's true! That's it for "organising".

    Anything after that is icing on the cake. Historically it was first geared as a low key event where if you were lucky someone made veggie soup and bread for 10p and everyone serviced and braked in military fashion in the wind and drizzle. A few attendees had the idea that it didn't need to be as miserable lol so we started having huge camp fires, bbQing steaks and chicken, getting more *******ed and doing bigger jobs - top end rebuilds even. It got more fun every time for a while as the bar was set higher culminating in a TE where we banqueted in a large tent under chandeliers cooked for by a Michelin starred chef and Laurrie pettit came and took an engine to bits. Another time there was a cocktail bar and the chaps dressed as ladies for the night.

    It can be whatever it wants to be really, There should be spannering and learning but the rest is up to whover comes to organise. There has never been one organiser for the event other than booking the site.
