Boo hiss! You're gonna miss the biggest and best annual meet to date!
Sorry you can't make it, we still expect a raffle prize lol

So folks there's a double room up for grabs at the main venue if anyone wants a room still?

Guys

I'm going to be making up the name badges and the official attendee list next week so, if I don't have your details, you'll not get a much-coveted badge!

If anyone has any direct contact with kevenas 88, Tomas or any of the non-responding 'maybes' (except for Dave McB who has replied to say it depends on his work rota), could you give them a nudge please?

Not sure what's happening on Friday afternoon/evening but we're driving down from the Lake District (rented house, have to be out by 10am) so likely to arrive mid-afternoon. We'll pop down to The George III after checking in and will need to decide whether to eat in our hotel or at the George (or elsewhere).

I've discovered there's a convenient 400 yard footpath from our hotel (Penmaenuchaf Hall) through their grounds/woods down to The George III which we'll use on Saturday evening.

Anyone else staying at the same place as us, it's convenient (though not cheap) and there's none on the list?

Finally: gone, but not forgotten.....
1998 D2 PF S8. AgateGrey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors.
e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)

And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

Would I be too late to join the party (and not an A8 owner, though you can have a look at the TT.....)?
