Star Inn Newbury - Friday 29th February

***ncarring*** · 01-03-2008, 00:02

Hehe yes another good friendly meet. Nice to meet some new chaps. Thanks for the chat, Steve

Excellent blast home - followed the Octygone clan along the A4 to Hungerford, then took off along the A338 to Burbage and back up through the forest, then across the downs. Ahhhhhhhhh - that's better!

Tom_vRS · 01-03-2008, 03:42

Nice to see you all this evening! Just got home!

, and after the 4hr drive there

, I'm not promising to be at the next one!

Great food - hope you enjoyed my duck Q!

Nice to see plenty of familiar faces, and a few new ones too... sorry if I didn't manage to introduce myself.

The drive home was epic - really loving the new car, plenty of foot-to-the-floor action, and still 31.1mpg

As for the roads nearer home though, looks like a hurricane has torn the place apart!!! Had to swerve no less than 10 times to avoid things in the road, tree branches, wheelie bins, temporary road signs...

Ho hum, roll on work at 7am...

T'was a good turnout last night and great food as usual. Some notably quite long distances travelled to get there too, I think Carl doing the round trip from Wigan is closely contested by Tom not forgetting Babs little jaunt as well

31.1

- You wanna try following Steve and Chris for a while

Ahh well the Round trip from Wigan was worth it to get "pumped" by Ian and "piped & covered" by you followed finally by being "washed" by Tom

Hopefully will get to a few more meets in the future

Had a good time and nice to put a face to a few names

Laters

Was home by midnight. Good evening had, shame about the mizzle.

Hedge · 01-03-2008, 11:36

As others have said a jolly nice evening.
Good food, good company and a chance to meet a few new people and catch up with some old faces.

Roll on the lighter and drier evenings.

Octygone · 01-03-2008, 15:11

Really good night, and to see so many people from long distances turn up (4 hours driving ..each way

) food was good, company was excellent.......How long to the next one?

Makefish · 01-03-2008, 15:28

Indeed was a good turnout considering the drizzly weather

As for the distances travelled by some of the attendees I admire the dedication guys, big

Was particularly good to see a few new faces Southpaw, Niceyellow vrs, Moox and Clearway + SWMBO who I managed only brief chats but hoped you were not put off and will come again when the weather gets a bit better and the nights are not quite so dark!

Good stuff

cheezemonkhai · 01-03-2008, 16:32

Hopefully get along to next months one.

southpaw · 01-03-2008, 18:18

- I'd forgotten all about it to be honest Q, it was only when Steve mentioned it that I realised. Glad you are able to make use of it, saved it from the tip.
