God, come back from my Christmas break and the site's all different and i've got people moving into my flat! :rofl:

Seriously though, i did mean to post some good news earlier:

My folks stay only 5 minutes drive from Strathclyde Park, and have agreed to let us use their place to convene at some point after the initial meet there.
Thanks VanDerDad!
There's lots of room so hoping to make use of this.
There is a Volvo main dealer about 100 yards up the road- was thinking of informing them to see what we can get out of it basically...
Heavy drinking etc will take place at either my place or Murf's later on :lol:
Well big empty flats have their uses i suppose- anyone who wants to stay is welcome.
Not looking forward to having the shoddiest car at the meet though- just pulled off a bit of what used to be rear arch yesterday...
Generally looking forward to meeting all of the great and good people from this wonderful club :D

Bat and Mhuk- accept Dragon's generous offer.

You better still be coming Groom!

PS Murf you owe me a drink for auctioning my flat without permission! :lol:

Just to mention that's at Murf's. I have more space, spare bedroom, large living room and kitchen, probably fairly comfy for any crashers.

Oh and yes Murf i have tidied it! ;)

If you both wanna attend this meet, my missus says you can stay overnight at mine to break the journey up - how priveleged - she's being very funny about who can and cannot come in at the mo, as we are mid-renovation - strange creatures, wimmin! :lol:
That's very kind! I will talk with Mat when I see him tonight along with catgroom.

(we are installing grooms Momo which I won (his paying) from Ebay)

One of us will update tonight or tomorrow. :D Thanks to your missus.
