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?

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?

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.

Anyone interested in a meet? see further up this thread.

Hi FB-S,

Three Counties TVRCC RO David Jones is planning to attend the meet on 16th Jan and will be able to chat about the region and their activities.

I suggest we stay with the idea at the moment until we see the number interested as 5 people have yet to respond. We could then change to Painswick if it is preferred as it is later in the month.

Martin.

Hi Steve,

Just noticed the link with the Chimaera windscreen seal thread.

If you can make it, let me know and I'll bring the tube of sealant I used.

Hi guys,

At the moment there are only 2 others, FatBoy Spin and Veg, who have indicated an interest in meeting up on Wedenesday 16th (see further up the thread).

Is there anybody else from this list that showed an interest earlier? If not I think we would be better changing to the Cotswold 3 Counties TVRCC meet later in the month. I'll post the details here in a couple of days if there is no further interest.

Martin.

Hi Alastairm,

Suggest you try the Bristol region of the TVR Car Club who meet not too far from Bath. E-mail me (address in profile) if you need their name and number.

Cheers, Martin.

OK, back to the original topic.

There have only been 3 takers (FatBoy Spin, Veg and panoz) from an apparently enthusiastic initial response so I propose that we move the meet to the next Cotswold 3 Counties date.

I discussed this with them last night at their mid-week get together and they will be expecting us.

Details (as in Sprint) are:
' Edgemoor Inn at Edge on the A4173 near Painswick, lunchtime Sunday January 27th from around 12:30 hours.'

Sorry for the change, hope the new date is convenient.

Look forward to meeting you there and obviously the invitation is open to anybody else who can make the revised date or otherwise has an interest in coming.

Cheers,

Martin.

Just a reminder that the proposed meet is this coming weekend (as we decided that we would join the Cotswold 3 Counties TVRCC meeting):
'Edgemoor Inn at Edge on the A4173 near Painswick, lunchtime Sunday January 27th from around 12:30 hours'


Anybody decided they are coming? So far
martvr - yes
MBS3 - yes
crimsonchim - might, if not decided to go on holiday
funkyboogalooo - seems interested
FatBoy Spin, Veg and panoz - all expressed an interest in the previous proposal

Anybody else going? There have been quite a few people posting to this thread that aren't on the list yet.

Cheers, Martin.

MBS3 and Marshy,

I'll try and get down this evening about 9:00pm if I can find it, so you might get a call for directions if I get lost. I may also be in a BMW, looks like we could start a splinter TVRBMWCC group (ducks for cover). Not so sure about the iced tea though!

Here, don't you take the p£$% out of them, I've got one of their stickers in my back window. Must admit it makes me grin every time I see it and is usually an excuse for a joke whenever I have to mention it on the phone. Car came from Richard Lovetts in Swindon though didn't realise that the Cheltenham dealers had been taken over by them as well.

Spin,

I thought it was a good venue and opportunity to meet up with some new faces and quite a lively meeting. Interesting list of proposals for the coming years' activities as well. Looks like you might get some local support for your sprinting / hill climbing. Pleased to see that the important bits from the head were occupying pride of place in the kitchen, best place to work in this weather.

Anybody else from this thread who has expressed an interest in meeting up - details of the next meeting of the TVRCC Cotswold 3 Counties region can be found in Sprint. Second Wednesday of the month and last Sunday. Post a query here if you need the detail.

Martin.
