Is that why I can't see how to add me as an attendee?
Tesco could be a good start point?

Haha - I guess back in 2000, thinking we'd still be here in 2020 might have been considered kinda optimistic!

Sorted - up to 2036 now

 

[varesecrazy]

Thanks Ben.. heres to another 20..

Yes..Tesco would seem a good place.

Next to 2 major A-roads.. and a large car park
Cafe proximity could be the only issue

Got a week to organise that

 

[varesecrazy]

Ok
TESCO Abingdon is a good meet point 10:30

Then on to Dorchester..East of Abingdon on the A415..

Meet at H Cafe Dorchester for 11:00

Cafe is on the side of the Oxford to Reading road.. at Berinsfield roundabout

(Link to a previous meet.. how was that 5 years ago..)

Attendees are looking a bit scarce, but at least less queueing for breakfast.
Where's werdna ?
He could bring the caravan, and set up his own breakfast van?

 

[werdna]

I have added myself, but reserve the right to not appear if I forget It's an age thing.

 

[gadge]

I may well be up for this

 

[varesecrazy]

I hadn't seen it, but it's the Luton Festival of Transport that day. I'm hoping to go to that, as it will be the first trip out since September - bad timing, as I've done nothing for 9 months then you pick the one day which clashes.... :bang:

 

[varesecrazy]

Thats the way...
Its the only weekend of the year (barring December) that I'm in the 'midlands'..

Hoping for sunshine.. we are having an 'Aussie Xmas' on the Saturday as we didnt get a traditional one last year

Have fun

It will probably snow, so you’ll be ok for Christmas! More a British Christmas than an Aussie one with a Barbie on the beach.

Everyone could go to the Luton show instead of course - they have cars, food, toilets, and loads of space. Don’t let “Luton” put you off, it’s in a very nice park and you wouldn’t know it was Luton…..

 

[solaris9988]

Would normally be along but it clashes with National Alfa day at Bister heritage

 

[Ross156]

Hi Guys,

Not one for me I'm afraid. We are hoping to have our first All Italian meet of the year at The Departure Lounge in Alton on the first Saturday in August, subject to unlocking etc.
I will post it up as and when it is confirmed. Will be great to see you all.
Ross
