*News just in. Environmental disaster as some of Britains rarest sea-birds are wiped out by an oil slick measuring several miles. The source is yet to be confirmed, but eye witness reports state several old Volvo's were seen in the area......*

A weekend early in June???

Sorry Roo not ignoring what you posted matey,I just thought I'd try ans start somewhere!!!

I was going by some of Dan's dates as a starting pointus.

The only thought on meeting venue so far is Santon Downham near Thetford Forest or the Forest itself.Perhaps the area where live bands usually play???

What to do?Well I've no idea at all.Im thinking that there could be a car focused theme,such as maintenance or cleaning,electrics or summit.Y'know where we all learn and can fix our cars too???Parts to be bought/sold/exchanged....shrug!

The off to coast where theres no old Volvos nor oil slicks,nor even dead herons!
;)

These ideas are as rough as the town I'm in so feel free to freestyle yer ideas all!

Groomus.

:?

It's a tough one-it's not like there is anything to do down here, it's rubbish! Perhaps just arrange to meet somewhere and go from there?

Is there a swimming pool nearby? :lol: Maybe just a meet and a spot of lunch somewhere-maybe at a local-ish pub or something with a nice scenic backround? Maybe as it's the first EA mini meet, just something a bit relaxed so we get to know eachother? Brings some tools (not sexual, they can come on the second meet ;)), and just see how it unfolds? Lame idea i know, but what can you do?

Now, just need to decide on a place to go. I'm in pregnant Lowestoft, Crispy's In Ipshit, Groomy's in land of Pikeyness, and Snails in Nar-wich.

Any ideas for a nice looking centralised spot?

Which number of Thetford Forest would be like from the 160 there is then???

No,seriously,I do mean Thetford Forest.A nice part where pics would have a good backdrop.

Preferably an area with no crackheads,cottagers,winos or general fuck-ups!Ha!

Hello Steve and others,

Sorry for the late reply, I have been desperately looking for my timetable which I had lost, and having found it it looks like I can't make it :(

Unfortunately, studying Mechanical Engineering means that I have TEN exams starting from the 23rd, believe it or not, whereas everyone else has them later!! My fault for being cheap and having a 460 I suppose.

Shame, cos Thetford would have been good, but alas I have to return to sunny Bristol to slog for 2 weeks solid. I had thought they were later, but I was a little wrong.

Sorry about that, although I do appreciate the invite!

Will have to look forward to the next one for now. Until then, have a good one, and watch out for the cottagers (I've heard stories...)!

Regards,

Crispin
