Hi Neil,
For me/us 27th is out as we will have family around and Monday 28th is probably the same as not all will have left. So Tue/Wed are best. The Leopard is a decent run up the M40 for us, Stoke would probably be too far. But everyone will have different constraints of course and the weather on the day will no doubt be a factor.  (I remember standing in freezing rain outside The Leopard a few years back  )

Ve Haf Vays ov making you attend.
Seriously I am up for it, especially if not too far to travel. The Xmas meet last year was manageable, but personally Stoke would be better. I will try and not be selfish, wherever is decided I will do my utmost to attend.

In my case when they call me BOF they mean "Boring Old Fahrt".
In your case "Brave Original Frenchtraveller"?

Come on all, this post has had 105 views and only about 3 comments from people letting me know what you'd like to or are able to do. If people don't want a Xmas meet then carry on with the silence! I can't believe that 105 people have viewed it and so far only 2'or 3'people have shown any interest in coming along!

I can't commit to anything Neil, I'm away on holiday for New Year so will be leaving home on the 29th.
I'm looking forward to the annual meet though, hopefully I'll be in employment by then and able to enjoy the trip fully
