Personally I'm just wearing a belt but I'd say wear what you want. Belts are definitely helpful for some events. Never used an erector shirt, but I saw a girl in a nice shirt the other day that could quite accurately be described as an erector shirt!

if it is down south west thats about a 6 hour drive for me so if anyone could suggest a cheap place to crash my head near the location then that would be great as i dint think id have the energy for getting there, bursting my b0ll0cks and getting home again the same day. 
Mate I can put you up for the night although you may (read: will) get dragged out to the pub (depends what day it is)!

Van halen - Tom has alot of equiptment to bring mate, think the stones are a bit much TBH but see what he says.
No problem, I appreciate that. Just wondered if it was a possibility. What's going to be used for the loading event? Barrels?
I'd also like to voluteer to help transport stuff if you need a hand and I might even have a car by then! I'm in S.Devon so prob about an hour in the can to N.Devon.

TBH if we could get enough weights together between us we could slip someone a bung for use of a field/fair sized car park etc. Worst ways im sure everyone will club in a tenner and hire out a hall or something together.
yeah, there must be a big pub car park that would consider it. be good thirst quenchers and pub grub. lol
oh im getting quite excited now......and very fooking nervous. lol

Barnstable has a big undercover market area, but I think there might be cost issues. carpark sounds like a good idea, theres plenty of decent pubs round that way. Just have to make sure nobody gets lost on the trip down.
I think Tom would be the authority on drinking holes as its his home town, looking forward to the devon Cider... ummmmm scrumpy.
Last time i was there i tryed a cheeky thick scrumpy called crippled ****, was exlent.
