Duly noted, I know it's always around this time. The excuse this year is that the wife had already booked a trip to New York but I'll make sure that weekend is avoided at all costs for 2015

Just joking, but please don't !!!
You showing up next year in your lovely S8 will decrease my chances of possibly snapping the 1st place for sure
Again, I wasn't expecting even be a part of this or even top 3, yes, I was cleaning the car in the morning but thats for another reason which we know already (being )
As mentioned to guys over the weekend, it's only when I saw this little shiny trophy I suddenly wanted to have one desperately, for ANY price !!!
And loosing to a S8 in my ''7.3'' A8 made me feel good but gutted (may invest some money in a set of S8 badges for next year ) just joking again

I was actually looking forward to meeting you and seeing your car, but when I got there I realized you wont be coming and I thought you will , it's either my eyes or my brain is starting to play up.

Thanks Marcin, long story but if I'd been in Scotland this weekend it could have blown apart a surprise we've worked on for months now, I'll be able to reveal all after next week. I was away on my annual three day golf trip last weekend (which is always the last weekend in May) so I needed to be home this weekend to prepare for next week. In the end it just wasn't an option to attend, even for a day, as much as I'd like to have. Therefore I must make every effort for the next one.

Don't worry about first place, I'll bring the 4.2 to give you a chance

Maximum respect to everyone who made it, looks and sounds like a fantastic event was had by all and big congratulations to Jim, Brian and David for organising it all so meticulously

So where has this been announced?

I was so gutted to miss this years meet by a few days, (bloody work)

So who's organizing next years, seems like the three wise men did such a good job perhaps they could be drafted in as advisers You chaps did a great job and and I'm sure everyone was grateful for the effort you put in.

Where ever the next meet is I won't let work get in the way next year.

How about a new poll for the location?

It was announced at the meeting in Scotland Del.
I will be overseeing the organising of it along with some localised help from a member/members in the region we choose to visit, and it is quite likely that we will have some admin input by one or more of the three wise men!

A discussion was also had regarding possible locations for next years meet, along with the dates (as mentioned it will be the weekend of Friday 5th - Sunday 7th June. . . .a poll will be posted shortly (give us a chance to get home and recover!!) in which members who intend to come should vote for any of the nominated locations that they are prepared to attend and then we will look at how we proceed organisationally
