Well done Jim on picking up the Gryphon award, your car is superb. It's nice to think that a piece of my former car is on it..The mirrors.

Glad the weather held up and didn't spoil the proceedings. How many cars were present, and who was the longest traveller?

[Gate Keeper]

I did hear that Blue Jon had driven 369 miles just one way to get to the meet. Is that right? Christopher did mention the magic figure during his speech and I think it was over 50. I did not know your mirrors pab featured in the Gryphon Award. Interesting fact that. Jim did very well and many best wishes to him with the award and in the year ahead.

Yes Bluejon and Jan came the furthest at 367 miles each way, and of the 54 cars pledged, we had 47 on the day

That kind of mileage is a very committed member..Decent turnout and glad to hear everything went with a swing.

First chance to post, must say it was a cracking day if a little chilly, thanks to all for coming and a big thanks to the venue who treated us extremely well and perhaps did more in promoting the 75/ZT than anyone else in a long time.

Rumour has it the local press who were there are also running an editorial on the event.

Here a few photos from today's meeting. I will be posting some more in the days ahead. I expect some of the members who had cameras will be posting as well. Please do, the more the merrier There was nice man with a big lens - an official photographer who took more random photos on behalf of the Botanical and they will be published on the National Botanical Web-site. We were very lucky with the weather and it was a very good turn out. Everyone had a good time

Mr and Mrs Windrush

Great pictures Phil, first of all I must offer you my sincere apologies, for not putting 2 and 2 together and realize who you were, when you came over to me and said hi I am Phil I thought to myself I know lots of Phil's but just did not recognize you it was not until your Number was drawn at the raffle and Paul said Gatekeeper and I thought oh my god its Phil,so please accept my apologies

This was a great meet thanks to the green team each and every one of you.
the venue suited Lilian very much as the loos and shop were easy walks so to to Andrew and Phil thanks
And the weather who would believe it after traveling down on Friday all though that storm that on Sunday at the meet we would be sitting outside take in the sun

Just got back and unpacked after the weekend's activities and can I once again say a big thank you for such a wonderful turnout especially in light of an uncertain weather forecast.

As I approached the Second Severn crossing coming back earlier, who should I spot ahead of me but Mr Windrush in his still highly polished tourer. We enjoyed a mini convoy for two all the way up to the A34 at Newbury. What a nice bonus to end the weekend

Just want to thank the green team for all there hard work in organising a great meet.We had a brilliant time and it was nice to meet up with friends and new members.
We stayed in Wales for the weekend as it was my birthday and the meet was the icing on the cake.
