Leather Bottle Mini Meet

**VRStu** · 25-07-2006, 15:47

It must be time for another Leather Bottle meet so how about on a Thursday night (as most seem to be able to make Thursday's) 24th or 31st August 2006. Time 6:30pm onwards.

Bas aka Basil from Bahrain will be over visiting with Xav so hopefully they'll come along.

For those that have not been before, a nice pub with good food in the Basingstoke, Reading area. All welcome to join us especially first timers as we are a friendly bunch, well most are!!.

The Leather Bottle Inn, Reading Road, Mattingley, Hook. RG27 8JU. Map here.

Me too!

Edit: I might be just back in time for the 31st, but TRAX is on the Sunday!.

CHRIS ELLIS · 26-07-2006, 00:13

1-Chris

oh go on then .

Stuart_J · 26-07-2006, 06:59

Sorry on Holiday as well

**VRStu** · 26-07-2006, 08:16

I thought it might turn out that people were on holiday.

WHAT AGAIN!!!, you have more holidays than anyone on here. Do you have a secret job as a holiday rep or something?.

**roo** · 26-07-2006, 17:07

I can make the 24th as long as my car is intact after the nurburgring.

**tfboy** · 26-07-2006, 22:32

LOL

Come on guys, we will have a VIP from half way around the world, so please make an effort

I'll be there for once I'm actually in the country (and not tinkering with Bas in Bahrain!

)

In that case I'll rearrange my holiday plans, although my family may be a little put out but I'm sure they'd understand

Great!! I'm sure the boss lady won't mind. You could even bring her along.

Nice Idea, but nope, self employed I work long hours typically starting at 5am so I
need the holidays to keep me sane

vRS_Si · 01-08-2006, 15:27

Just accepted a new job so i'm going to be moving away from the area.

Can do the 24th though the 31st maybe a little difficult...

SkodiRS · 01-08-2006, 17:23

Can do the 24th.

Stu,

how about the 17th Aug?

**VRStu** · 01-08-2006, 17:33

Looks like the 24th is the best option so far.

The 17th would be fine with me but Bas doesn't arrive to the 20th and I thought it would be kinda nice as he's traveling a long way and staying near the area if we could have a meet while he's here.

Stuart_J · 01-08-2006, 17:55

How about September

**VRStu** · 01-08-2006, 18:18

September is busy for me with Trax and the Skoda Factory Trip but there is no reason not to have a meet anyway.

Makefish · 14-08-2006, 19:33

Perhaps this needs a re-think Stu?. What with holidays, Nurburgring trip, Trax and Skoda Road Trip to Prague it will be difficult to get the maximum to attend. Any thoughts on perhaps changing it to Thursday or Friday 7th or 8th September or two weeks later 21st or 22nd September?.

**VRStu** · 14-08-2006, 19:44

As I said the reason for the original date was so that Bas, who is coming over from Bahrain, could make a meet with us. It seems that not many people can make it unfortunately.

I don't really mind when it is.

I think (don't quote me on this) Bas is going to Trax.

**VRStu** · 14-08-2006, 19:50

Yes I think he might be.

**tfboy** · 17-08-2006, 12:39

Bas is going to Trax... ...with me

However, I am absolutely effing livid

at what I've just heard from work.

I may not be able to make it next week after all because I'll be swapping countries of Residence with Bas

(because it's worth it

)

And so I wouldn't be around to bring Bas along and introduce him to you mad looneys

However, I'm putting my foot down, so if people genuinely value the work I do, I won't be going, and I'll be around in the UK

**VRStu** · 17-08-2006, 12:55

How do we feel about cancelling the meet and just aiming for Trax instead then?

Might be a better option.

**tfboy** · 17-08-2006, 19:21

Well, don't stop just because of lil' me. I'll know tomorrow whether I'm going or not.

If I'm not going to Bahrain, then I'll be up for the leather bottle. Whether anyone else turns up is up to them, but I'm sure I'll indulge myself to a pint of fine ale with Bas, regardless of company

***ncarring*** · 17-08-2006, 19:59

That's a shame - I might have made it to this one ...
