The 3rd Annual Thames Vally Crooked Billet Meet

[pmanson]

Hey all,

Anyone fancy coming along to what will be the 3rd annual Thames Valley Meet @ The Crooked Billet near Bicester?

We've had a good turn out the last 2 years and IIRC the pub does a lovely carvery.

The planned date is below. Need to get a rough idea of numbers so that we can let the pub know how many to expect.


Date: Sunday 23rd April.

Time: 12ish?

Venue: The Crooked Billet Pub (Nr Bicester).


Last year most of us met at the Esso garage in Bicester just off the M40 and went for a drive before getting to the pub for lunch at 1pm. Then another drive after lunch, before a few of us settled in a pub in Waddesdon for a couple.

Count me in, but is 12 a little late? I think last time we met around 10.30ish, then that would give us a good hour or so for a blast, then get to the pub before it gets packed

Wasn't sure what time it was. It may have been about 11 or earlier.

I'm easy either way.

1. Me!
2. Amy (Hopefully she'll be driving as well )
3. gbbird
4. Di

6. Gaz
7. Rico

So count him in I wouldnt have said that Oggs looks like a horses mouth exactly.. .. ..

Personally I thought it was quite an apt description!

The garage down near Bicester village. (its the first 1 you come upto when you come off the M40).

Esso garage I think, theres a little chef around the back of it with a good size car park.

Only an hour drive about then???

Normally do a drive for an hour, then lunch, then a further drive afterwards.

Man overboard! For the first time in 3 years of ownership my Cerb has let me down. So, sadly, I won't be there on Sunday! Have fun and be good Jon PS Starter motor (for those that want to know )

Real shame Jon!

I was going to get my hands in my pocket and buy you a beer! (which would have been a shock considering i'm a student!)

Yeah that didn't work!

Ask Ego about that junction!


Good to see you all again! Blame the organiser (whoever that was) for the crap weather!

[pmanson]

I think we need to do one over the summer!

Once my exams are out of the way i'll start planning a route etc.


Mrs Trackside! - Very nice to meet you (and everyone else for that matter) at long last, and Vixpy managed to eat a pub meal with a knife and fork which was a very pleasent surprise!

Thanks, Mr Organiser, for sorting out today's little jolly. First time we've been to the Crooked Billet and it's really nice. Shame the weather was a bit crap, but, hey, you can't have everything, can you? Owen, I will get a ride in the Noble one day; I s'pose I need to know what I've got buy the missus... (I wish)

I know that feeling!

Amy now wants to trade her 1.2 Clio in for a Clio Trophy!

No problem about the organising I didn't really do much! I'll make a bit more effort next time!

[pmanson]

Oh yeah, I meant to ask who's was the 200SX?

Whoever's it is you have a blown side light!

[pmanson]

I was thinking this morning......

How about meet somewhere then go for a drive finishing at my house for a bbq? (Depending on the weather!)

Phill

Ego i'm talking about sometime in August not this afternoon! Anyway the weathers crap here in Wendover today.
