You big wuss. And your mrs already knew the score.

Yes good fun although I have a vague recollection of buying yet-another-car?? Oh well, life is for living.

Not told the better half yet, with a bit of luck she won't even notice the scooby shaped object arriving on the driveway later today;)

How about a Tuesday next month - just to include those who can't make Wednesdays for once

YHM.

There was some talk of a "Third Thursday" meeting. Did anything come of this?

That might clash with "Thursday Club" General Banter, Local & Premiership Rugby, Dwarf Tossing, Pie Eating what ever else we discuss.
And weekly Court Session to hear those pitfull excuses.
All in front of a nice log fire.

To be fair, this has never worked in the past and we should just perhaps stick to the normal day. Sometimes I have moved it to include people who can't make a particular day, then that alienates people who could make the original day, people who were going to come to the new day can't make it, everyone gets confused and a bunch of people turn up on a day when I'm at home (luckily that's only 50 yards away), 'was this going to be a Wednesday or Thursday or is it next week'. I guess we should just stick to the original day and if it's too busy again to crowd around the log fire then there's always the 'Sportsman's Bar' and we could just start a small fire in the corner to make up for the lack of the 'throw a log on the fire without permission challenge'.

It's been a while so here's a reminder of the usual format:

1. Talk cars for about 20 - 30 mins (that's the only obligatory part).
2. Go around the table clockwise, discuss what you're working on (from existing businesses to more aspirational stuff like 'I have an idea for a motoring based venture') and if you need help/advice/guidance/funding/partnerships/etc.
3. People can pitch in and and suggest ideas.
4. On to the next person..

If you just want to turn up and listen in, feel free..

See you on a Wednesday 4th Jan at 8pm then at the 3M Bagshot.

Hoho, you dont realise what a dumb thing you've posted until someone replies... smile

but it was more a check to see if it's still going on, and to find out where it is - had to go through to the posts back to April 2010 before I found this address:

56 High Street
Bagshot
Surrey
GU19 5AW
United Kingdom

Is it still there?
