Well, I was thinking of a sneaky surprise visit; staying at my brother's in Stafford on Thursday night and coming up to the meet on the Friday.

But I've just been advised that the annual invasion of the outlaws is a diary clash!

Oh, woe is me.

Sounds like a Captain Oates response is called for here: "i'm going out and I might be some time...."

or "I'm just popping out to fill up the car" (It does take a long time on an 8).

I told you not to let Mike near your car and change stuff, he can't do D3s

At least you got home Andy

Great to see everyone again-it's been a long time and always good to meet the new guys, hopefully see you at some more meets.
