Hi All, ZEDfest is back for another year and will be held on the 13th August 2023.

PLEASE NO BBQ

We do have card payment facilities for drinks and food. Please bring your £5 note for entrance

Car can arrive from 10am no earlier as we will be still setting up.

Local police will be attending our watermill open day (ZEDfest) and will more than likely be doing speed gun checks on our road!!!

SupaKool (mobile aircon re-gas service) will be on site, please let me know if you would like it doing. Just to say i had my Z4 system emptied as i’m doing an engine swap, car should hold approx 700g, however i have not had it done whilst owning the car (10 yrs) and it only had 400g left in it. They said most cars lose 10% per year. So well worth having it done.

We will be filling up paddock 1 first then paddock 2, followed by Menage, yard, paddock 4, 5 & 6 the last paddock 3. This is all on first come basis, please dont ask to be moved until everyone is in. Finally please respect my home and the fields as the grass is feed for our horses you are driving all over!!!

The plan is just turn up on the day, entrance will be £5 per car NOT per person (cash only).

The Bull & Bush local pud will be managing the drinks, food and a small bar on the day, Watermill & Blacksmiths will be in operation.

ZEDfest 2023 is 13th August. 10.00am - 4.30pm

Look forward to seeing you all.

Neil.

Would also be up for an NL/EU Zedfest, either way we need a Zedfest 2024

Great! So far there’ve been a lot of positive reactions, so I’ll start looking into what I can do

N4LLY Thanks for the great photos of Barty, JoelvdrZ4C and me cleaning our cars

Loved being at the event and meeting some of you guys there. Had some excellent conversations! Really hope that there will be another edition of this event, will certainly support the petition and donate some money for the legal proceedings. Thanks again everyone and hope to see you all again sometime in the future!

What a great event - again.

I'll start with a huge thank you to Neil for making it happen, and I wish him well with the Judicial Review.

And thanks to everyone else who made it such a success.

I'd definitely be up for an NL/EU version - hopefully as an additional event!
