Gloucestershire

[martvr]

Anyone on here in the Gloucestershire area? Any interest in a meet?

Looks like crimsonchim and Adam2B are probably in the Stroud area, are bulging brake hoses a local problem then? I'm between Cirencester and Cheltenham, sort of, actually quite near the navel contemplating Gatsos on the A40 - wasn't me officer.

I notice a short piece from the Three Counties TVRCC region has been put in the last issue of Sprint. Anybody alive down there and what's the form for the club meetings?

[Marshy]

I work in Cheltenham relatively frequently, so would be up for a bite to eat and a chinwag one evening.

Nothing late though, I'd have to leave by about 9 or 9.30pm.

'course I don't know when I'm down there next, but I'll drop a message in here when I do.

we have a grantura and a 3000m at stow on the wold!! have tried to make contact by e mail to three counties with no results?

Spoke to 3 counties TVRCC RO David Jones. They have their regular meeting next Wednesday 12th Dec and it is also their Xmas dinner, 19:30 for 20:00. Apparently they have a friendly bunch of regulars and they welcome new members. The menu is £12 for 2 courses or £16 for 3, see Sprint for venue.

Think I'll probably go along, anybody else? All that is necessary is to confirm your attendance with David by the weekend for the menu - e mail address and phone no. in Sprint.

Panoz, RO's e mail address has apparently been changed to AOL so may be the reason for no reply?
Marshy, can you make this date?

[martvr]

Hey Ted, does that win a cap? Posted a message without showing the name!

[Marshy]

quote:Marshy, can you make this date?

Depends if I happen to be working down there really. I'll know by end of tomorrow.

Mind you, my TVRCC membership lapsed while my car was on a long summer vacation, and I haven't got around to renewing it yet. Can you post contact details? Ta.

Hey guys - why dont you come and visit us in Bristol in the new year - our monthly meet is on the North side of Bristol 10 min from the M4/M5 interchange so only half an hour from Glos. Give Sarah (our RO)a ring - you cant get too many TVRs in a pub car park Can You????

TVRCC Three Counties RO - David Jones, tel. [phone]; e mail [e-mail].
Xmas dinner at The Hunters Inn, on the road between Upton and Tewkesbury.

Sorry I'm late! never wandered into 'stuff & gossip' before.

Brake Hoses no longer bulging thanks to Andy at Hamilton Cars in Bristol. MOT all stamped up and we're back on the road. Must be all that emergency braking we do around here everytime a road subsides!

Certainly up for a beer in the new year.

Hey I live between Ciren amd Cheltenham and thought of Martvr as my monica. Are you me? I must know, you get the round in.
Bathurst Arms, North Cerney on the A435 is very good proper pub with a big car park and is picturesque too!

M@H,

Decided not to get the Vixen out at the weekend but saw a very nice Tuscan go down Ledbury High Street about 2pm on Saturday, and another near Upton later.

I'm the other side of the hill south of Upton on Severn.

[M@H]

Excellent... I've seen a couple of S's in Ledbury over the year too, but not recently.. so do you know anything about the 3 counties club at all..?? we'll have to meet up one day and have a sprint round the hills.. :-))

Cheers

Hi guys ,

Seems like we've got enough potential interest now to try and set up a meet and a .

There is a total of 9 if we can persuade FatBoy Spin out of the hills.

OK, suggestion is Bathurst Arms as already proposed as is not too far for those who work in Cheltenham and reasonable for the rest. Location is North Cerney and the pub is on the A435 Cheltenham to Cirencester road. Date - Wednesday 16th January at say 19:00 (early for those coming direct from work but arrive later if you prefer).

I will separately invite David Jones, RO from the 3 Counties region of the TVRCC if he would like to join us.

Post replies here and we'll see if we have enough.

Anybody else not already responded and may be interested?

Cheers and Happy Christmas ,

Martin.

Martin,

sorry to be a party pooper but my S has got 3/4 ton of sand in front of it at the moment (renovating the house present), and is wrapped up in its winter coat (tarpaulin). I'll have to give the 16th a miss but count me in for the spring..
Cheers

Martin,

We'll make every effort - I'll even bring Pit Dolly!

Can't guarantee the Vixen will make it as the head's likely to be off at Crimbo to do the valve guides, and I'll probably unlead and port it at the same time. It'll probably get it's last trip before next season when it goes down the pub on Christmas Day!

I hope the car park's big at North Cerney so I can park my white tin box out of the way so no-one sees it

Merry Christmas to everyone!

See you at the Bathurst in Jan.......

It serves kin strong beer so bring a driver.

[FatBoy Spin]

I see in Sprint that there's a meeting fixed for Painswick later in the month. No doubt with the copy deadline that date was fixed before the 16th was mooted. What shall we do?

I hope everyone had a safe time over the holiday - others have not been so lucky.....
