In all seriousness as Steve says, a great place with a fairly local contingent of regulars - I'd like to be able to go back next month.

Me too, and I'd just like to point out that I'm a lover not a fighter.
Which should worry some of you more.

Whilst the Star Inn are happy to accomodate us, the sheer numbers and popularity of this meet may mean that we potentially over run his pub and therfore may not be invited back again. Please try and keep to the area that has been allocated to us (to the right of the bar in the corner) and don't doing anything stupid in the car park or on the roads directly outside this venue.

This place has been a great find as those that have been before will vouch for so please do not do anything daft that may put it in jeopardy.

Thanks everyone and I look forward to seeing you all on Friday

I'd go along with that .....people will be watching to see if we behave, so don't give them the oppertunity to complain

And as for Hedge if you haven't seen him ...be worried ...very worried

The "charged" bit was a reference to something that only myself, StuartJ, and possibly Steve know about.

smstext · 16-08-2007, 22:36

what time is everyone getting there, ordering food etc for? i myself might not be there till late as i dont know what time im getting out of work yet

devonutopia · 16-08-2007, 22:44

If I'm not there for 6pm it's because I will have been caught up in traffic, or have struggled to lift something bloody heavy into the back of my car....

Octygone · 17-08-2007, 07:08

Stu if you did happen to have your Vagcom in your car .....could you take my anti car jacking locking off and put it to normal please (all doors unlock at the same time)
many thanks in advance.

It is going to be a tough one for us to get here in time, because we have about quater of the M25 to battle around (on a Friday night). Best to get your food orders in as quick as possible I guess, gives the pub time to whip them out.
