Great list - if we had February and April events too, we'd have every month covered!

Right Mate I'll get busy on the phone and book accommodation, then realised that there are more than two hotels in and near Dogellau.
BTW should that be Dolgellau. Be able to look at the Talyllyn Railway, not been there properly since 1953.

Sadly, I think I'm not going to be able to get to the annual meet as it follows immediately on from a family holiday in the Lake District and the travel logistics won't work.
I might be able to just get there on the Saturday on my own, but not staying overnight, but it will be a long day of driving.
__________________
2003 D2 FL S8. Irish Green Pearl/Beige. Solar sunroof, auto-dim mirrors, electric rear seat functions, ski hatch retrofit; extended leather. Aftermarket DVB-T, reversing camera and full XCarlink (Bluetooth etc.).
2016 Volvo V40 T5 Cross Country (4WD) with ALL the toys including adaptive cruise etc. etc. Osmium Grey with Blonde/Charcoal leather interior. Polestar performance "optimisation". (A much rarer model than a D2 S8 by the way!) Oh, and a brand new engine at just under 30,000 miles on the factory one!
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)
1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon, Auto-dim mirror, Leather, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer.
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!

Not to worry, another one I'll have to miss. I have an annual golf event to attend on those dates, and as much as I love my S8, golf wins every time.

I might make AITP though, I've bought waterproofs and a brolly in anticipation
