No offence! Just as the fine collection of people that constitute The BoLOCs are descending on South Wales next Fri, Sat & Sun (26th - 28th), I thought it was time for a new thread as people are discussing it now...

So, Friday gathering at The Vale looks like being a staggered affair as people wind their way there from varying corners of the BoLOC umbrella... some taking a scenic route, others needing to do motorway battle after work. Will distribute a contact list to everyone so there's plenty of numbers to inform of progress or possible lack of rolleyes

Friday evening: As is BoLOC tradition, Friday night must be a Burger Run of some kind - going to need Handbag's local knowledge here for a potential venue and route (I'll email you Janine & post suggestions here in due course). No doubt, those who are staying at the Hotel, we'll retire to the rather splendid bar after

Saturday: Potential for a spot of Golf / Leisure / Spa facilities at the Hotel with an early rise. Can't fit clubs in (not even the specially shaped Lotus ones ) but will check out possibility of club hire if enough people fancy a swipe!

Sat Midday: BoLOC Brecon Run. Plan to leave Vale at midday and head out on some of the best roads you'll ever drive taking in a spot of luncheon some place (Ooo, get me!) There may well be some more joining us just for the BoLOC Brecon Run which is fine of course thumbup (Beachy me old beauty, you know you've gotta be there!) I'll contact Davey S2 to plan the route - good lad

Sat evening: Two choices here - BoLOC off-roading at The Vale, or saddle up into cabs and head off for restaurant somewhere. Obviously an outside restaurant will need booking, so will have to gauge quick opinion on this, or we can simply hit the Hotel Restaurant & it's splendiferous bar. Early consensus appeared to be against hitting some full-on drum & bass club as that rather eliminates the ability to talk BoLOCs!

Sunday: Breakfast and I suspect rooms will need to be vacated by 11am at the latest, so whether people will drift off / more Golf / Leisure facilities / a run back over the hills will probably just remain open and arranged on-the-fly

Really looking forward to this... who's glorious idea was it anyway..? clap

Due to Mrs. Gooby recent major surgery and the delivery of 9 puppies, I have to limit my stay. Sorry. I will drive up on saturday and spend the day with you guys, then back home in the evening.

Oh well...

Im happy to go with the flow on sat night drink

Not sure about sat morning tho. beer into the small hours plus a midday drive might mean some quality time in bed and a big greasy breakfast for me!

Gooby - Still need to get the OK, from the boss as to Saturday, but assuming I get it, do you want to go up together. Saturday morning.
What time are you thinking of returning Saturday evening/night ?

I'm really sorry but Orange & I are going to have to pull out of this one.

I'm afraid other commitments have taken hold of time & finances.

Have a really good time though guys, watch out for the sheep!

Have a very good route for you guys. Need to start about 11 though if thats ok?

Traffic should be very light and hopefully be dry.

Up for a few beers in the night as well.

However... YEAY to hooking up with everyone else again. Davey - looking forward to the route... 11am!?!? Blimey, that's the morning taken up then!

Quality clap

11am start = early lunch burger which then = party starting sooner, which further means more oppo for drink

Nice bowtie
