You can't call yourself an enthusiast til you've opened the bonnet yourself, the hard way. :p

It happens to us all, Mark.

With those sort of temperatures, no doubt you will cruise in,
with the windows wound down, fingers tapping on the roof, to the sounds blasting out of the Grom unit :cool2:

:D:D

[RichandPaula]

Tempting...Very tempting...

Got a painting job on this weekend, but might be able to put it off another week.

[dqr22d]

Mark I see you've updated your details for the membership pack, I could bring it along to the Hollow Tree for you.

Thanks Jim that'll be fine.

[J1MBO]

Thanks Jim that'll be fine.

Will do ;).

[RichandPaula]

Would it be possible to pick up my members pack from the meet?
If so, I have an excuse to put the painting off for another week and you save on postage...it's a win - win?

;)

No problem at all, I can sort that out for you ;)

[MattyC]

I expect I'll be in attendance :)

[Godfer]

Guys,

Due to footy commitments (to some Philistine's, an anathema(?)) I am unable to attend this meet. I thoroughly enjoy these events...and crave for 'an alignment' of my Social Diary! ;-)

Have fun!

It will be great to see you there, PM me if you want my number in case you have difficulty finding us.

As Jim says it is 2 for 1 but that is roughly 2 for £10 anyway. Looks like you need to speak to MattyC as unusually Rik has a eating partner this time round. :D

Did you want me to add your name to the charity event?

[TheSamPeople]

I seen it on google maps shouldn't have much trouble, pretty straight forward for me :)

If anybody wants food when i turn up ill just join in with them. could always just have two meals ;)

Yeah you can add me to the event.

I was thinking of once inside the pub :D:getmecoat:

I have put your name down for the Charity Event :bowdown:

[TheSamPeople]

oh, yeah that would probably be good ill send you a pm now :)

hopefully the weather will keep too, finally able to use my air con properly lol

[James.uk]

Bangor to Hollow tree is a fair ole drive, approx 75 miles each way innit... :} Pretty drive though. :)
...

[RichandPaula]

Let's hope the weather is as good as today's...car is washed and looking forward to tomorrow. What time does it normally go on until?

[vindaloo]

Forecast for tomorrow is unfortunately half the temperature of today and heavy rain, so it looks like we will be occupying the pub and not the car park.

People drift off at various times but most stay until about 3:30 to 4:30

[carguy143]

I'll be there Rik, I'm up for a two for one ;)

That'll do for me. I think I owe you and Rich a pint anyway.

unusually Rik has a eating partner this time round.

Yes it is a rare occurance! :D

See you all tomorrow. I've heard the weather is meant to be pretty rubbish so I haven't washed the car today. HOWEVER, I have given the inside a very good going over this afternoon whilst trying to make the most of the beautiful weather we've had today.

[RichandPaula]

Just back in time for the F1 highlights then - perfect!
:D

[rich17865]

A great turnout today despite the rain, thanks to all that made it. :D

[vindaloo]

Nice to see some more new members today as well as the usual suspects. Always an enjoyable way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

[RichandPaula]

The key to any successful mission is to ensure you have the correct equipment:
Tweed, Flat Cap, Pipe, Flask are all key components today...

We were a bit apprehensive of meeting with the 'Old boys', but we had a great afternoon with you. I'm proud to be a member. ;)
:bowdown:

Great to put faces to names and meet you all.
See you all soon,
Rich & Paula (And lad)

[J1MBO]

Brilliant Rich :laughing2::laughing2::clap:

Nice to meet you and your family

[rich17865]

Brilliant, as you found out it is not necessary to sacrifice your first born to join in, but thanks for bringing him along anyway :D

[dqr22d]

That's a lot of tartan for a young man.....I thought you had to at least carry a bus pass to be eligible for a tartan licence...eh eh! Good to meet everyone and thanks Matt for a good chat and advice on splitters. See you all next meet.
