Romping reporter here. . . .
Well despite missing some six nations action this weekend (mutter mutter) your top team of TinTin and myself are out and about this weekend reccy-ing for this years annual meet

The weather is not quite there yet but we are reliably informed that our sponsors have paid for some really nice weather this year

Have you booked your room yet? NO??!!!! Surely you won't want to miss the biggest gathering of 8's that we have seen so far? More details to follow as we get closer to the weekend of gr8 fun in Snowdonia at the end of May

If anyone is having difficulties booking accommodation please let me know and we will try to facilitate some additional hotels and B&B's etc.

Default 30 and counting..

Excellent…this promises to be a really good turnout, and there's still more than two months to go .

Good luck with the accommodation hunt - I'm sure that Jim (owner) or Phil (manager) at the George III would be happy to suggest alternatives if you get stuck/want a local recommendation.

I have booked a room at Penmaenuchaf Hall Hotel
Penmaenpool, Dolgellau, Wales, LL40 1YB

Still can't confirm if I'll be there or not but at least I will have somewhere to stay should I make it.

They have rooms available too

I am really looking forward to my first Annual meet.
SWMBO will be with me, kicking and screaming about talking car rubbish especially about a car that she reckons doesn't like her, but then she does like passengering in the A8. She does drive herself on school and ASDA runs but tends to park in the quieter parts of the car park.
