Here we go again for the monthly Ashby Folville meet, Tues 8th June. Please check this link
http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... y+folville for further details/pics... Over 3000 people showed up last month, with a merry (but small) band of Zoners in attendence..
May I suggest we fix up a time and location to meet this time!

I might pop long(if I've made decent progress on the trip down), as I'll be somewhere in the general area anyways that evening.
The E30 will be at home and I'll have the Alpina with me on this occasion.
Is the timings roughly the same as those on the link you've posted??

I usually get there around 6.30pm and its stacked full of people by then. Probably best to get there earlier if you can make it, check out everyone arriving, and grab a pint before the pub gets rammed!

In that case, it will all depend on how speedy my progress is on the way down.
From where I'l be in Perthshire,the route planner is saying 7ish hrs to get to my hotel then a further 1hr to get to Ashby Folville,which means I'd most likely be late

Weather in Northants not looking very appropriate to parking a rwd car in a field...
I may well have to bow out in a very girlie way for this one, after all my cableties might melt
