September Mini-Meet (Matlock, Derbyshire)
Sunday 13th September.
11:00am - Meet up and Critch Tramway Village I'm told that the "top of the car park (past the Admissions building) should be cordoned off" for us so that we can all park together. If you arrive later than 11:00 (and we've already gone inside) just explain to the admissions desk that you're with the "A8 and S8 UK Owners Group" so that you get the group discount. If they ask for a password, it's 'Quattro'. https://www.tramway.co.uk Info from Critch: Quote:
4.30pm - Leave Critch for a scenic drive to Biggin Hall 6.00pm - Evening Meal at Biggin Hall https://www.bigginhall.co.uk/restaurant.html We will be dining in the library (recently converted into a dining area), which has been reserved exclusively for our group. There should be sufficient tables for us all to dine together while maintaining sufficient social distancing between different 'households'.

It would be great to see you both there, Jim I'm going to make enquiries about a group booking if there's enough interest.

I'll be there!
Looking forward to this - a great chance to catch up and have an overdue opportunity to chew the fat and talk some car bollocks .
Is it worth starting an attendee list? If so, I'm a definite

Probably, if only to know whether we qualify for Crich's group discount (which requires 10 or more people I believe).
Shall I start?

Think we could be "possibles" to attend, depends on some other "stuff". Any idea of start and finish times Mark?
