Peter and I will attend in my Zenith STR, if there are any other club members who fancy turning up, let us know and we'll try and get together.

Mel, see pm, I'm after the flier...

Hi Mark,
I'm hoping to go to this one, just trying to move a couple of other commitments and weather permitting of course, what sort of time are you planning to get there?

Paul,

Looks like it's a morning meet, starts at 1000, I'll try and get there with Peter (StratosFear) for 1000.

I'm hoping to be there around 11:00 hrs. Weather forecast isn't looking good at the moment, but there again what do those meteorologists know.....

Gents,
Looks like I'm now not going to make it which has me very *****

, my attempt at moving my other commitments has failed, apparently collecting eldest daughter is more important.

Now that we have a Southern area group I think It would be good to look for a "Local" and maybe have a meet every month or so.

Sorry you couldnt make it Paul but we had a good meeting with a variety of interesting Italian cars - although we were a bit light on the Lambos. On the plus side there were countless Alfas and I even saw a little Fiat Topolino painted in noddy car colours, but the driver disappointingly wasnt wearing a red pointed hat with a bell on the end! There was just one Fiat X19 which managed to leave with door handles and roof clips intact.

So we managed to round up 3 worthies in addition to Mark and myself - so thanks to :
Gary (Birdman) Bird and his good lady wife Deborah . (Gary is on track for one of the fastest LB Builds yet),
Graham Halstead (GrahamH ) - who as an engineer at McLaren Cars is very interesting on all manor of Formula 1 stuff as well as re-building a Hawk and
Steve Pratt who as an engineer and rally enthusiast is building a motorsport LB .

It was a useful session and we were so busy talking to each other that we didnt get much of a chance to walk around and look at the other hardware. We will definitely arrange further sessions and Paul's suggestion of a regular meet would be a good idea. Any other thoughts on this?

So thanks to everyone who came - and until next time !

Peter
