Proposed date - it's the only weekend we have free in May so hopefully it's OK for everyone. Schedule to follow shortly once I've got the date confirmed with venues.
As always, everyone is welcome for all or part of the day. 480 preferable, but anything on wheels will do.

Re: Northants - Lincolnshire Wolds meet date ??
I'm thinking if changing the date to June 10th. How does that suit ?

June 10th pencilled in for me too. Gives me two and half months to get a car on the road again. Nice to have a target!

Re: Northants - Lincolnshire Wolds meet June 17th
Hi
So is it a drive from Northants to the Lincolnshire wolds ? Having not owned a 480 until later last year I'm unsure.
Lincolnshire though is about a 200 mile drive south for me from Northumberland

Re: Northants - Lincolnshire Wolds meet June 17th
Yes, we drive in convoy, stopping off along the way for refreshments and chats. I am hoping to organise a meet in Scotland in July, which starts in Stirling and ends just south of Aberdeen. Would that be any nearer for you ?

Re: Northants - Lincolnshire Wolds meet June 17th
Hi
Well I'm in Northumberland, I guess you'd probably drive up either this way or the west side ( M6 )
My sister used to live in Aberdeen for many years.
Stirling is probably about 120 miles north of where I live in mid Northumberland, a lovely place to live but miles from everywhere.
