What are you doing next Friday (26 May)?
Why not start the long weekend with Practical Performance Car magazine? We’re holding a pub meet in the peaceful village of South Witham, situated on the beautiful Rutland/S Lincs border. The 13th Century Blue Cow Inn has sufficient hard standing for lots of car parking, a great atmosphere, a barbeque and comfortable rooms at a knock down rate for those PHers who are unable to resist their delicious micro brewed Witham Wobbler.

The Blue Moo, home of the Witham Wobbler.


The magazine team will be there too, not that that’ll make much difference. We’ll have a selection of staff cars and Charlie Broomfield will be trying to explain why he’s spent 18 years of his life putting 27 litres of Rolls Royce’s finest into an SD1. We’ll be giving away magazines and subscriptions to the coolest cars and to whoever’s travelled furthest. It’s going to be nothing special, just some car nuts getting together for a gas and some grub. Whatever you drive, bring it along.. and if you do stay the night, why not explore some of Rutland’s great unspoilt and undiscovered driving roads, the beautiful towns of Oakham and Stamford and of course, Rutland Water itself.

The area is littered with quiet villages, charming pubs and some great restaurants.. it really is the perfect place to unwind. The pub meet starts anytime in the late afternoon, for more info e-mail al@ppcmag.co.uk, or pm me. South Witham is 1 mile off the A1, 20 miles north of Peterborough. Blue Cow: 01572768432. If you want to meet up with some mates, why not e-mail them this link, or post it on other forums?

Some of the local roads.. and the area last week;






If anyone fancies sticking around for a day or so..

Over the weekend, quite a few of you asked about a pub meet.

We've had a corporate discussion this morning in the kitchen, and will be having another at the Blue Cow on Friday, August 25th, starting late afternoon. Its the start of the Bank Holiday weekend. Bring something trick, quick or cool please .
