I’m liking the idea, breakfast meet-ups,with a morning drive ?? Afternoon blasts to blow the cobwebs out my radiator followed up with a mug of tea and goodies
the hardest thing is finding days the suits everyone calendar.
So a day out with people who should really have something better to do, at some nerdy place or other full of other sad gits. Yep, deffo up for it

Barbarian :-P
Great idea Neil. It’s not around the corner for me but as I have some making up to do after tragically neglecting my Allora for years I need now to actually use it at any opportunity.
Unfortunately the scenery and roads in Northamptonshire are nothing special and get better “up north” so please count me in.
Hopefully something we can discuss at Phil's garage day if that’s ok
Yep but as we are “From all over” my initial thoughts were to keep it very simple, here’s a rendezvous for breakfast / lunch (hopefully a place of interest) and how everyone gets there or leaves is up to them and develop from there. I am sure once a meet venue is proposed and I am thinking Edale for the first one then between us local knowledge can propose morning / afternoon drives.
Definitely blow the cobwebs off
I’ll firm things up after Phil’s garage day

Quick update following Phil’s garage day. I’m in the process of working some further details with Gordon & Tim for a Sunday early May based on finishing with lunch in Edale ( The Rambler or The Old Nags Head) with most probably a pre lunch drive out en route to Edale around the Peak District including Winnats Pass ( with various rendezvous points to allow meet ups as we will all be travelling from different locations) based on Gordon’s and Tim’s local knowledge.
All the best

Sunday 14th May.
( This avoids the Coronation weekend and 2 weeks before AGM). The end game is The Ramblers at Edale in Derbyshire for c 13:00 - 13:30 for lunch. The exciting bit is being mapped out by Gordon and Tim and will involve some challenging Derbyshire Roads where you can explore your cars capabilities, all within legal and Driver limits of course. The drive will be nearer 1hr 30mins once you are in the area. More details to follow re meet points etc but I think we now have enough to ask for an idea of interest, not least so we can liaise with the Ramblers re managing numbers. Apparently Tim knows the Landlord who is a real Petrol Head so we will receive a warm welcome.
let me know if your interested and I’ll keep the first post updated
All the best
