Ahaha, thanks Dave... I think Matt might be doing that too but we'll have plenty atleast....
Make sure you all bring your tents... No point in going home today when you can stay and drink and camp.
When people arrive, I assume you will be using a Sat Nav. Our lane is a single track road so drive carefully as they're are slow trackers round bends sometimes.
Your looking for this drive way

The kids wont be there though
We're about a mile from either end of the road aswell so in the middle when the road as a right angle turn in it, or left depending on your direction.
When you see the drive way, drive in, your see some static cavarans on the left, just drive up and I will probably have popped my face out already, if not, i'll make it clear which way to get onto the field...
Take your time when driving up the drive please as we have a few puppies that manage to wander around if they escape and cats mooching about too.
Right now we have sunshine and clouds and its warm as anything

@Jonny - Sounds good with the Camera... The more cameras the better as I always forget to get pictures when I go anywhere.

Looking to get over now mate, will be out with my Dad too. We'll drop in for a bit at around 3 ish.
Hope it stays dry for you mate, it's nice here in Stratford so hopefully will be for you too.
See you later on.

If you get packed up now you should make it down here in a few hours.magpie wrote:wish this was closer to Geordie-land ,sounds like a good meet.

Will do dude. Fiona has had to drive over to her dads as he didnt bring the material bit of the gazebo, so she is hopefully gonna find it when she gets there as he is at Golf now and wont answer his phone
Still need to wash my car but waiting for her to text to say whether she found it or now... Then I can set the frame up.

Was meant to write this on here much earlier today but you've probably figured by now I'm not going to be able to make it! Got some issues with my new E46 rack and my engine mounts didn't turn up in time so cant really drive the car. Sorry i missed it guys, hopefully get to the next meet. Hope the weathers holding out for you?

Ok, just a quick note, everyone has gone home now so no point in turning up now...
Thank you to everyone that did turn up though! It was a good night.
Looking forward to the pictures too
@Kedge - That was a Gazebo Matt brought with him and has donated it to the midland meets
Meaning he couldnt be bothered to pack it down so left it for me.
Also, it was a pleasure to meet new faces and ok to see old ones I suppose
@David t - Extremely sorry everyone had gone when you turned up, was great to meet you both though and i'm sure we'll bump into each other in next years meets.
We'll be having more up here next year so will look into that later in the year to get it planned out etc, we'll probably have a camp over on the saturday night then like suggested from Meatballs82, we'll all go for a drive in convoy and go to a pub for lunch
Thanks again to all those who turned up and those who helped to try and set the first gazebo up
