2022 Alternative rally, Chiddingly, Sussex 23 - 25 September 2022

[SPRIDDLER]

Incidentally there's a bit of mis-information at the end of the Surrey section's 'Notes' in September's Jampot which has an edit to say that the Sammy Miller weekend was at Chiddingly (it was actually 100 miles away nr. New Milton in the New Forest) and the Alternative will be at Polegate, nr. Eastbourne.
Rest assured the Alternative will be at Chiddingly as advertised.

Hi Neville, I've just checked with the Surrey Section Notes i sent on the 10th of August and they are exactly the same as are published in the September Jampot, there isn't any mention of Sammy Miller in the Notes I sent to Dave so I don't know where it came from.

Thanks a lot. I will leave you in peace now, cancel my usual Friday volunteer lock-keeping on the Grand Union Canal and aim to be there Friday morning, tent up and ready for the Friday run at 2pm.

One of our members had reservations that his camper was too
big to get into the site... I think he need not worry!

Nah, that's not allowed (too modern) for the Alternative so he'll be taking his classic...........

It was parked in the campsite when me and Peter G went last weekend the check some final details.

It's not only long, both sides of it have sections that extend out about 3'

Who is riding to the Alternative on a AJS or Matchless , It will be good to see who gets the furthest traveled award ( J A Trant award) and has the honour of getting our keepsake

Does anyone have a picture of the J A Trant award ? , I cant find one anywhere so it will be a surprise what comes down in the van from Kettering
you even get to hold the award for official pictures !

I spent most of yesterday checking out my motorhome equipment ready for using it as a check-in/refreshment/security point for the Alternative rally.
It's parked in my drive tight against a fence which is about 6 feet from a neighbour's kitchen wall.
My LPG powered fridge took a lot of worrying attempts to light and after it had been on for about 20 seconds there was a distinct sound of water gurgling. However, it didn't seem to be coming from the fridge at all when I listened inside it and at the outside vent but seemed to come from an under-seat locker where the domestic water pump is buried. I assumed the pump or piping had sprung a leak, but by the time I had removed the seat cushions and unscrewed the locker top the gurgling had stopped and there didn't seem to be any leaks at the pump. Just after I had screwed back the top and replaced the cushions it started again. I then dismantled the panelling enclosing the water heater but no leaks there either and the noise had stopped. I stood up to ease my aching back and while I was gazing exasperated and idly out of the side window the noise started again. It was then that I spotted my neighbour's washing machine outlet pipe gurgling into the drain.
