|  Leics/Notts/Derbys meet
Several folk in this part of the world have suggested it was time we had a meet, but no firm arrangements have been made yet, AFAIK.
So could I suggest we have a mini-meet one summer evening, to put faces to names and make plans for future meets?
I would like to suggest the following:
Venue: The Waterside Inn, Mountsorrel (LE12 7BB; off A6 between Leicester and Loughborough)
Meals, bar meals and veggie options available.
Map: available from here
Date & Time: from 7pm onwards, Thursday 8th September
Everyone is welcome, but it would be nice to know who's coming, so please add to the list:
1 bryand (yellow Fabia vRS)
2 johnyardley (red Fabia PD100++) | |

If my car arrives by then I would love to come along ... but still not heard a delivery date from the dealer.
I've been to that pub before ... but just for a pint, not for food. Nice location for a summer's evening.
Will put name down definitely when the car appears. | |

Aww that's a good idea.
I have been off sick from work today so haven't managed to lift the phone to the dealer - lazy muppet that I am. But equally well they still haven't phoned me despite it being about 1 week to their original (vague) delivery date. I will try to remember to call them tomorrow.
But meanwhile:
1 bryand (yellow Fabia vRS)
2 johnyardley (red Fabia PD100++)
3 MarkyMarkD (er ... blue Citroen AX diesel fttb  ) | |

Spoke to the dealer today; the car's in the country but won't be with them till the early part of next week, so barring a miracle I won't get it until around next weekend (i.e. just after the meet). So please don't laugh at the old AX! | |

So when we turn up on Thursday, we're looking for what? A table full of people who look like they own Skodas?

J | Well, they say people look like their dogs ...
If it's fine, we'll be outside drooling over motors. I hope Gavin makes it - never seen two yellow vRSes together.
If it's wet, we'll either be outside getting soaked or in a huddle inside, gathered round some Skodabits.
All welcome, come along 7 pm Thursday! (shameless bump...) | |

They'd already lost the franchise when I went to that pub last ... rather a shame as it cut the number of local dealers down and reduces competition. Probably why Farmers offered me an appallingly poor price for my new Fabia and why I'm not getting it from them.
See you tomorrow. | |

Thanks all for the good evening ... especially the ride in the non-vRS which is faster than a vRS.
Roll on Monday ... | |

Thanks to everyone for coming. Next meet a bit farther North, perhaps.

Thanks Bryand for a great meet. Can now put faces to more names.
Thanks for the badge John. That PD100 can't be standard mate surely 
Looking forward to the next one. I will look for a suitable venue around the Nottingham area.
