Right then Guys and Girlies - some of you have been asking for an idea of a schedule of events etc for the forthcoming Annual Meet in the Forest of Dean
Basic agenda is as follows: Fri pm/evening - 7th June - Arrive at speech house hotel pm or evening - Great restaurants and conservatory or garden areas and the hotel is right in the middle of the forest of dean - We will probably just have a few drinks/socialise and a meal together for those that would like to Saturday (Main Meeting) - 8th June - Breakfast at leisure - 10.00 am Trip to Dean Valley Railway for mid morning - Cream tea / brunch in a period carriage dining car at the station then a run up and down the line in a steam train & period carriage (cost £13.50 for adults, less for kids) - 12.00 Followed by a A8 cruise all around the forest of dean taking in all the sites and scenery, no quizzes or observation needed on the cruise. - 13.00 We will stop at lunchtime half way around the cruise for a "fun event" in the Symonds Yat area which involves everyone getting lost, with prizes for the winners (sponsored by A8 parts so no cost- thanks David and co!). There is also a lot of other things to do at this stop including garden centres, butterfly zoo, miniature golf etc, Then we will lunch at a nearby restaurant or pub. - 15.00 Continuing the cruise along the riverside all the way to Tintern Abbey and then back to the hotel for teatime. - 19.00 Evening meal in the Verderers Court (very Grand) at the hotel followed by a quiz hosted by your romping and raving reporters (general knowledge, picture quiz and possibly the odd Audi question!  Prizes will be won!Retire at your leisure! Sunday - 9th June - Breakfast at Leisure - 10.00 am Cruise to Littledean Jail, the most amazing (and politically incorrect) prison you will ever have been in! all sorts of displays and memorabelia plus the quadrophenia exhibition and the chance to permanently lock up and leave your kids behind! Cost are - Adults: £7.00 OAP's: £6.00 Children (aged 8 - 16): £5.00 Children under 8: FREE Family: £20.00 If you're 100 years young then admission is FREE! - After the jail visit we will all depart in 2 groups and either cruise off north to the M5/Wales/North etc or cruise south over the Severn Bridge. Should all be great fun!! Can we PLEASE PLEASE ask you to phone the hotel as soon as possible to book your rooms up - they have generously put 20 rooms aside for us so that we can all be in the same location this year and cannot hold the rooms for ever - details are at the top of this thread along with contact numbers. Can I also please ask once again for generous donations of prizes from anyone that feels able to - A8 parts have already contributed to the lunchtime event and put some additional vouchers and prizes up but if you can pm Mike or myself with details of any items you are able to give we would be delighted - and thanks .

Why not? We need a couple of support vehicles and we already have a Merc.

Thought I'd give this a 'bump'. Where is everyone? This promises to be a brilliant weekend, building on the truly excellent event in The Lake Disrict last year, which really set the standard for a meet. Family friendly too - not just a load of sad blokes talking car b****x all weekend.
And don't think it's too far to come - 3 of the cars on the list are coming down from Scotland! Why? Because we know it's worth the trip! Come on guys, get a room booked (nice looking hotel and a beautiful part of the country as well). Even the long range weather forecast is looking good!.

Well, I for one would love to, but with a housebound 94 year-old father-in-law needing constant support the best I can say is that I "hope" to be there for the day on Saturday.
Plus wife if there's no crisis at t'mill.
