I'll let people know asap.

I don't think Emily will be the problem, Tom originaly put this in the NW section so I moved it being the nice chap with a sense of direction that I am

I won't be there, as I will be at a much sunnier beach till the 2nd Dec.

davethefish · 10-11-2006, 09:44

Ok, the idiots gave me a day off....

I'm a definate, possibly plus 1.

Dave.

ag.morley · 10-11-2006, 09:58

Time / Meeting place please I may be able to make this.

Tom_vRS · 10-11-2006, 10:30

Shifty, where do you think we should meet? At the chippy? Can you accomodate 10 or so Skodas there, or should we meet elsewhere?

but its supposed to be in the NW section? Or do you mean you moved it to north east? Im lost! lol!

If I come up with a brainwave meeting place (unlikely for me, lets face it!) I will let you know!

Shifty · 10-11-2006, 14:29

I've thought of a meeting place - then a drive, arriving back here for tea, (discounted of course) all without doubling back on ourselves etc.

Meet at the BP garage, just off Junction 31 of the M6 at Preston.

Time tbc.

VRSPhil · 10-11-2006, 18:27

Is there likely to be anyone with vag com in attendance?

Busting OUT · 10-11-2006, 22:15

I may be able to make it after all , will ahve to be late though as I will be working.
But will let you know

Shifty · 11-11-2006, 15:23

Bad news - due to staff shortages, I now have to work. This is regrettable, but unavoidable. The only good news is i'll be cooking your Fish and Chips.

Sorry

Looks like a nice gathering! Was only intended as a delivery/excuse for a wee meet!

We wont be going tooo brisk - still got a poorly flywheel and only 115bhp!

ZootyRS · 12-11-2006, 21:21

Gulp... quite a big group from when I last looked.

Any other virgins, or do you all know each other already?

Is the ice cream stop still happening, or has that disappeared with the later start? Just trying to decide if there'll be one, two or four in the car!
