Default annual Meet

Hi everyone.
May I wish you a great time.
Sorry we don't think we will make it.
However, the next time you will see us our S8 should be looking much smarter.
Best wishes...

Get in contact with connor123, as he is probably the best person to answer any questions in regards to accommodation and activities. There is also a WhatsApp group that he can add you to.

As we'll be in the Lakes this year/next month, I thought I should share - and recommend - this, about a local lad and legend:

An oldie but goodie, for those who haven't seen it

I live in the South West Lakes but I'm unfortunately busy for most of the annual meet weekend. However I was wondering about popping over to the hotel for half an hour or so on Friday night to say hello. Will most people be there on Friday and is there anything planned such as walking around the cars (if anyone does this) before you all eat?
