Berrow 1999

Saturday 18th September - Saturday 25th September, 1999.

It rained, rained and rained some more, but we had fun at the 5th annual Berrow Buggy Festival! If you've never experienced the Berrow week before, check out the Berrow 1998 pages where you will find photographs of some of the exploits that took place both in and out of the beer tent!

And finally, the thank you's:

Many thanks must go to the Embelle Holiday Park for helping with sponsorship for this event, negotiating with the local council for us to utilise more of the beach this year, and providing us with access to a phone line so we could update this site!

Thanks must of course go to Ian Meredith, Mike Shaw, John Eaton and Chris Croft for the organisation of this event, Bob Cruikshanks for his race reporting, and all the members of the British Buggy Club who contributed to making this festival enjoyable! See you next year!

Hezz and Brian
