Good choice of venue, but sadly I won't know if we can attend until the previous day.
Too many complex family things going on that I have no control over and may reach a peak on 27th or 28th.

I need to see what I'm doing that day but my boss is really keen on me taking an Audi down to one of these meets after I last suggested it, he brought the topic up last week. We've got a few brand new D4's on fleet, no S8 or W12 so not sure if it'd be worthwhile or do I just bring the '6? Will have a chat with him when back at work.

P.S We've just taken a lovely W12 D3 in, 'loaded' apparently, but I've not been in to see it yet, was mentioned to me at the Christmas party. I'm off for two weeks!!

This is one meet I might actually be able to make, though probably not to dine, rather a quick stop off to say hello.

I'm travelling from 'oop norf' to 'darn sarf' that weekend, taking my other half to visit her relatives in Southampton.

Coincidentally we'll be heading back to Bolton, right past that area, on our way home on the 28th, so it'd be rude not to call in. I'm not sure what time It'll be, but I would guess around 12-1pm, all being well.

By all means bring along a D4 Amar, I think there'd be plenty that would like to see one - especially if your bosses are offering to "sponsor" the meeting by sending along a few Audi Freebies!

I am very tempted, especially if Amar brings along a D4 or the RS6 of course.
But its so far!
No need to book for me, I may turn up if I can overcome my lazyness but wont be eating.
