[teamster1975]

I'm pretty easy

You'll be getting featured in Disco's signature, mark my words.

its been easy pickings on here recently

That's what marriage does to you!

[Doggy]

Is it me, or has there been a late surge in interest for Saturday, 27th?

[plod]

I don't care, I just put 20th/21st because it was away from the B/H weekend and thought that was the consensus
I'll go for the B/H weekend if you want as I have a bit of a short cut I can use if traffic is heavy

[DiscoPol]

Im more than willing to capitulate on the date, somebody just needs to be a man and decide on a date, it would be nice to have Dai there too.

[Doggy]

Oh dear!

Tell you what - if we dither untill the 22nd, we won't need to make a decision.

[DiscoPol]

The only issue with dithering so much is i need to book ferries and the like and persuade the Mrs that I need to be in the UK at a certain time, so come on Doggy I hereby elect you to the chair for this, please nail down a date

[Doggy]

Admins, mods and general do gooders get your arses in gear and sort a meet out for august some time, you have been apathetic long enough and im coming back in august and want to show off my shiny new motor, GET IT SORTED YOU LAZY FECKERS!

Good, good!

Err...

My digital decision generator came up 'heads' therefore the selected date is Saturday, 20th August 2011.

Kindly attach all complaints to something heavy and/or smelly then hurl it at the smug git in the posh Cistern

[DiscoPol]

I am ready for the complaints ,

Ferry's booked, wife is suitably persuaded, posh cistern will be polished and Polished till it shines like a good un, and im getting all giddy at the thought of finally meeting as many of you as possible.

Lets all give Doggy's digit a salute and get planning for a fine day in Gaydon, oo er misses

who would have thought the idea of summer holidays back in Blighty could raise a smile with anybody these days

[DiscoPol]

I have just fired off an email to the museum asking about a parking area for us all and any further advice they can give us re having a small meet there, I will keep you all informed of any response i get.

Ah, forget the booze - there'll be enough of us there to give him the bumps without throwing our backs out!

Well it'd be rude not too Disco!

Sod the bumps, 36 of them would put anyones back out!

[DiscoPol]

Just had a response from the kind people at Gaydon

Hello Disco,

Thank you for the enquiry, we have small Car Club meets here every week, so you are very welcome. The date is fine, I will provisionally book this for you.

Reserved parking with signage.
Minimum numbers: 12 people.
Organiser: FREE
Club Members & Guests: £8 per person.

If you would like our Car Club Visit pack, please email me your postal address.

so it looks like we can get in cheap too, a right bargain and no mistake, so we have reserved parking, signage and reduced entry, all this and a chance to talk utter bollox on all things 406 for a while whilst giving Teamy a birthday to remember.

Edit: the usual cost of entry is £11 so we save 3 quid each getting in

Sounds good, well done Disco.

...all we've got to do now is press-gang 12 good men & true.

For my part I have a reasonable chance of persuading my bro to attend (& cough-up), assuming we can confer temporary membership?

Who else is 'definite'?
