Who's up for another convoy to the Forresters next weekend? I can meet up with anyone in the Braintree area at McDonalds for the drive to the White Hart in Chelmsford. As Alf mentioned last month, maybe we should get to the White Hart at 11.00 for a quick drink so we don't upset the landlord.

Alf and I have discussed this, and were going to post on Monday morning.

I'm speaking with the landlord over the weekend, so I'd rather not "confirm" anything... don't want to tempt fate and him turn round and say "no"...!

I can't imagine he'd say no. I'd stop at a pub with 20 TVRs parked in the car park. It can't do his business any harm. Anyway, what's there to refuse? 20 punters turning up for a drink - who co-incidentally all drive Tivs.

Anyway, post on Monday to let us know the score.

Paul,

Good to see your eager for another 20 car convoy to Mid-Essex meet, can we beat it this month I wonder?? ...sure we will give it a good try

Podie and I spoke in the week and Podie will consult the pub manager just in case...its only fair now that we seem to be having a mini-Mid-Essex meet each month but agree with you we should all buy a drink and am sure there won't be any problems so long as we don't block the car park.

See you a week Sunday then (sorry that should probably read...I'll hear you a week Sunday )

Alan.

I can't forsee the landlord having a problem... just didn't want to tempt fate!

OK, I'll be at the White Hart from 11:00 on Sunday 13th. Plan is to leave there at 12:00 SHARP and head off on the route we've used before... Chelmsford -> Boreham -> Hatfield Peveral -> down the Maldon Road -> Gt Totham.

If anyone has any questions, ask here or drop me a line...

Alf Essex will probably agree to meet people on the way from Southend...

The White Hart has a massive carpark so i dont think there should be any objection.

I might have my car back from TVR Centre by then, so all well and goo I'll be there...

We are in, the car has just been re-chipped & re-tuned by Mark Adams, so best I don't go at the front otherwise you won't keep up

If we have 20 cars again trying to get out of the White Hart car park, it might be worth whoever is our 'rear gunner' pulling out first and 'blocking' the road so that we can all scoot out ?

On holiday for two weeks from Mondy 7th. Some of this time will be spent trying to cure my cutting-out problem (see other thread). Also planning to get away for next weekend and back on 13th but don't know what time of what car I'll be in.

So may not make it, sorry!

Enjoy the meet.

Unfortunately we cannot make it to the meet as we will be at Oulton Park with the GT and the Tuscans. I'll call Pauline with the latest news for those that would like to know.
