North Wales - South Cheshire - Meet 'n' Drive - 22/03/07

***ColinD*** · 01-03-2007, 16:58

Ok folks, since winter has finished I reckon were about good for an evening meet, and a spot of gentle driving in North Wales, or if it's kack weather, a bit of pub grub / ale.

Plan is to meet here: Google Maps

It's the druid inn off the A55 south of Chester, about 40 mins from Warrington.

We'll or I at least will be there at 6:30 to 7:30 where upon we or maybe only I can set off for a short drive

to.

Google Maps

When I hear you ask, well I reckon a thursday would be good, 22nd of March.

I'll make this a regular monthly meet too if enough interested parties.

**TaviaRS** · 01-03-2007, 17:05

22nd is a Thursday?

Put me down as a definite maybe

tdirob · 01-03-2007, 17:24

finally a meet near me.

Count me in for this one - provided I've fixed my car by then

faboka vrs · 01-03-2007, 20:53

Count me in.

Is it me or does that part of the map look like a shape

***ColinD*** · 01-03-2007, 21:58

Ok, So T in outlook also means Thursday, what can I say I'm under some pressure here

pa well the date stands the day is Thursday.

So just for Jon's benefit

22nd March

actually for mine too /meh edits calendar entry.

John, perhaps, I could not possibly comment on items concerning triangulation in road design...if it goes as well as last time we'll be done by erm about 11...it will go better, the pub on he hill top isn't open yet

**TaviaRS** · 01-03-2007, 22:07

devonutopia · 01-03-2007, 22:26

***ColinD*** · 02-03-2007, 18:38

Time to get back on the Horse Jason

Iti s a pre-cursor to a bigger welsh day out meet

ric04vrs · 02-03-2007, 18:50

spinndrift · 05-03-2007, 13:24

JUst need to get someone else to pick the wife up from the station and pursuade Nev to get the mini out and it could be a good night for a play.

***ColinD*** · 12-03-2007, 14:51
