Apologies for the delay on the schedule, just getting over a dose of covid despite all the needles.
Sorry to hear this; hope you're properly on the mend now!

Lunch will be at the Harbour Cafe, just a short walk from our favourite parking spot. They don't take bookings, so we will have to wait and see how long the queue is. If it's another lovely day, it might be horrendous in which case I'll be ringing a few other places to find out if they can accomodate us. If anyone who is coming doesn't have my mobile no please pm me.

Very good news to hear another get together / mini-rally is scheduled, and I'm sad that I no longer have a pop-up 'extra marital car' to pootle along with the crowd. Perhaps another time. Strangely (in terms of timing) I'll be in that neck of the woods the next weekend (24th) to visit my son and his other half, and I had been hoping to toddle down in my latest 'extra-marital' vehicle - Pootle the Campervan (see https://forums.mercedesclub.org.uk/inde ... 106/page-3) but there was an unfortunate blip with an inlet valve last weekend in Warrington, so Pootle is off the road once again :(

Do make sure everyone who goes along to the Wolds takes lots of photos and video and do share on here - you never know, another opportunity for wedgieship might hove into view sometime when I'm least expecting it...

All the best from the other side (Mercedes Vito money pit ownership - the bank of van indeed!)

With much regret we’re going to have cancel and reschedule, as Sylvia is currently in hospital.

Oh no. Please keep us updated on her progress.

Sylvia, if you are browsing this from your hospital bed, get well soon my friend.

Hello everyone, and thank you for your good wishes. Pleased to say I'm back home and feeling much better.
Really disappointed not to be with you today. I'll get the meet re-organised ASAP.
