Guys, be aware that it's Fairport Convention at Cropredy from Thursday to Sunday so there will be a lot of traffic on the A361/A423 North out of Banbury.
Otherwise I would've suggested coming to my village pub again. The black pudding sausage rolls are back on the bar snack menu....griffdude said:

I'm easy on times, say 12pm?

Ta for the heads up, hopefully we should be alright with Hanwell what with it being a bit further West? We'll be coming up from the South West and across country so the plan is to avoid Banbury centre anyway. Are you coming along with the Griff again?

Can't make it as I'm working, sorry. Have a good time!I'm easy on times, say 12pm?
Our trio from the Solihull area is not looking good.
Just spoke with Trevor and he's working till 12.30 so realistically wouldn't be able to leave till half one. Frank might be up for it (I need to speak with him) he has mentioned it to Trevor so he knows about it.
As for me, I've been waiting to see what the weather is doing. Pretty sure Frank will feel the same if it's raining then we won't bother.
If it's dry or just a shower I'm in.... Heavy rain
Not because I'm a won't get it wet kind of man 
It just spoils the day! Will let you know either way what we're doing 
GR_TVR Looking good

What's the verdict then chaps? Weather generally looking grey & overcast for the rest of the afternoon.
Do we chance it or see if next weekend looks more promising? Also our resident Mustang-driving photographer is on the Isle of Wight this weekend so he is unavailable today, but is around any of the next few weekends.
As a few of the others can't make today either (Alun, Frank, Jas's mates etc) I'd be inclined to leave it and try next weekend, but what does everyone else reckon?

Yep ignore my last post, all good for 12!
ETA: we might be closer to 12.30, but on the plus side the sun is now out!
Phew, just got here and read your earlier post Dave and thought it was called off for a minute! It feels odd being first to something as it is... I'm never early!!ETA: we might be closer to 12.30, but on the plus side the sun is now out!

Thanks for coming out today fellas, I'm still grinning ear to ear thinking about the noise our little convoy was making. The best music ever made!
Paul, Gareth, beautiful cars chaps, a testament to your dedication and I hope they continue treating you well
Frank, Trevor, Jas, cheers for going out of your way again just to share a beer with us

Really enjoyed it, great weather in the end!
The little convoy run was great fun, we'll have to go a bit further next time
Shame I can't do the Poole Quay meet. I'd forgotten but we're actually going down that way Friday evening anyway, but won't be there in time. Is there anything happening on the Saturday down there, or will people just be heading back afterwards?
