October Mini Meet
I'm thinking of doing another mobile mini meet before our babies go into hibernation - perhaps early October. Anyone interested ? Please pm me available dates and your rough location - as before I'll try to make it a route in the middle.

Re: October Mini Meet
Facebook ? What's Facebook ??
I don't use it, so someone else will need to put it out there.
Cranna, I'm thinking of doing one in Scotland next year - I have a son in Glasgow so we could easily combine it with a visit to him. The pinstripes are going on my turbo as we speak, it's looking great after 4 months in the bodyshop so I'll send photos soon and maybe you can see it 'live' next year.
Glasgow Jim, I'd love you to come along even if you are on different wheels these days, or you could join us as a passenger. You've helped so many of us over the years, be great to meet you in person.
Looks like the October one will be either 7th or 8th October and will probably start around Northampton again.

Re: October Mini Meet
We'll be starting in Northampton, then heading northish for about 100 miles. Route to be decided at the end of the month. If you want to join us from all the way up there, you'll be very welcome !
Start point will be the Travelodge at Wootten, Northampton. We'll be staying there the night before as it's a bit of a trek from Norfolk. If anyone else wants to do the same, rooms are currently £30 per night.
