Im not looking forward to it. Good chance to sort the car out though. Do you want them blue seats that other ben had? I bought them off him for 100 so you can have um for the same bcuz im getting rid of the other mini.

Hmmm, Yeah you should come over to one of our meets one week then if it isnt that far!!!!
It is quite difficult for me to get over to higham of a week night because of work commitments, which i am sure that i am not the only person with this issue as it takes nearly half a hour for me to get to higham.
Also i agree with mark, we have a great sence of adventure, you should see what its like when the group all gets together with the club events / club outings ect, all the members will know what i mean. eh??? lol :thumbsup:

Yeh and our meets are weekly not monthly so if we miss 1 its not a whole month to go without catching up with everyone. All of us think its a great idea and that there wasnt anything local for us. 10 +minis a week proves it

yeah the varsity only ever gets full on thursday for the pound party, the landlords are sound and drinks are cheap. but where ever realydont mind. i just reakon pick a day and a pub and see what happens


Seems to me that we have a bank holiday weekend coming up and the weather forecast is for sunshine. :(

Sunday afternoon anyone?


i can do sunday evening work weekends though. say 7 ish


As I understand it, the CMOC meet is around that time on Sunday too. If we're going to get as many local people as possible, we probably want to avoid clashing with it given there seem to be a lot of CMOC members in Cov. I was certainly planning to make the effort to get out to Higham on the Hill and meet some more new people. :)

Monday maybe? Take advantage of the Bank Holiday?
