Taking a look at the 'Community' section under 'shows' and it looks like the first BBB at Windsor was BBB-7 in 2003.

I think that's correct I found a Tee that is from #7 so this year was my 10th anniversary. Always a pleasure even in a freeze it's always fun to get to BBB.

Got these from a WetWesties post and they were too good not to share. I thought I took a lot of pics 
https://picasaweb.google.com/111587221406545641381/BBB2012
This is a picasa album, from Quillen Foley (not a list member). I
think she snapped every bus there!

Quillen's photos are great and make up for my not taking as many as I should have. We had a great time camping with her and the Save the Bays gang.

Awesome pictures. Still bummed I couldn't make it but hopefully I'll be better prepared next year.
Any chance I could still buy a t-shirt of the event and maybe a poster? |

I searched, honestly, and I am very sad that I did not get a photo of the "BoaTrailer".
EZ Gruv almost caught it  Nice pics. It is so funny our different Lenses.
Can a brother or sister hook me up. I talked with the owner for hours about it and never snapped a pic
The Trailer with a boat on top, "BoaTrailer".
Anyone?

Hi, Ronnie and John!
Have you crunched the numbers for BBB yet? How many buses? How much collected for LBB?
It looks like almost a third of the attendees got there on Thursday. Is that true? I remember somebody saying "Well, we'd open it up a day earlier but it would cost more money and we aren't sure that enough people would show up to justify it." I guess you have your answer now.
Another thing: If I had known that bringing my single-wheel trailer would have raised my coolness quotient about forty points, I'd have brung it. There was a guy camping next to VWHoward who had an Allstate SWT that he'd bought from Ronnie some years back. The bus was a lowered black and red splittie, and the trailer was used to haul a motorcycle. If that person could PM me, I may have more information on that trailer soon.
Again, thanks for a great time. You guys rock.

We just got home from BBB XVI and got on line to see what was happening. We had a great time there visiting with old friends and meeting new ones. Thanks to VW Howard, I mite just have to change my handle to Trailorboat Jim (just kidding). The Trailorboat was received very well by the VW peeps and we are proud to be a part of this great group of people.
If you would like more info on Trailorboats, please PM use or e-mail.
Thanks Jim and Anna Martin
ps. thanks to LBB for a great show. |

London Bridge Bullis handing over $5500.00 to 3 local charities from the proceeds made at Buses by the Bridge.
This is on top of the $1000.00 high school automotive scholarship, $350.00 to sponsor a little league team, $1500.00 for bikes we donate at Christmas, $2000.00 to Parks and Rec for after school/spring break programs, $1000.00 to Tinnel Memorial skate park and whoever else we can help who help children.
On behalf of the London Bridge Bullis a BIG "THANK_YOU" to all that attend to help make this happen.
Looking forward to BBB 2013 and the Balloon Fest all in one weekend.
