I'm happy to give it one last try before we decide on an alternative.

I should hopefully be able to get along on the 27th

Fwiw, I go there semi regularly and person in question can, from what I've seen, be quite rude to lots of people, not just Sunday morning car types. It's certainly an odd way to make friends with customers.

The only other alternatives that have reasonable sized car parks are maybe ;
The Boat House on the spine road - water park - Not sure if that's open for breakfast though, can check

The cold Harbour in Blunsdon does a good breakfast and carpark is hotel sized, so plenty of space for lots of cars on weekends - Not particularly scenic, but easy to get to for everyone as just off the A419

Greasy Joes in Cirencester - A bit greasy spoon, and not scenic, but very easy to get to and you'll not be hungry for the rest of the day if you eat a breakfast there - Massive car park almost made to measure for car meets

Would like to be at AV8 on the 27th, but hillclimb season opens at both Prescott and Gurston that weekend. I'll be at one or the other, probably both!

Anyway - Kemble remains a good venue for such meets IMO; I generally go to meet people rather than drink the antifreeze wink

Lloyd, the owner, is a real American car nut, usually turns up in his orange Mopar amongst other things.

I should be there if it stays dry, the weather isn't looking too good.

If Tango passes MOT I might go to Wheelnuts in Stroud. If not, I might come in the SpaccyWagon!

I don't expect to be there in the Fury, so it'll likely be nice and dry regardless of forecast. Clark's Law of The Salmon.

(The Salmon Corollary is actually a stronger expression of the same physical law - it will only rain if I attend.)

I will be up in the morning intending to go but when I look out the window to see the weather will be the deciding factor.

It decided to stop raining here approx 30mins ago, the sun is now trying to peek through the grey clouds.

Anyone go?

Yes four of us went. It was very good as it was the starting point for the MAC Classic Tour,so there 40 plus cars there. Despite being packed the service for food and drink was EXCELLENT. The sun shone and no rain.

Had the day off for a change so Mrs D and I have had a lazy day instead. Not a single mile has been driven.
