For the usual informal "jolly" and beef-fest plus beer binge Oh alright, driving so lemonade it is!!

The Flying Fortress, Suffolk. Tel: 01284-787665
Postcode: IP31 2QU for www.multimap.com

Around 1-1:30pm

Anyone who hasn`t been to this gathering yet, don`t be shy, it`s just a pleasant way to pass a few hours on a Sunday afternoon in the company of PHers and their machinery.

Word of advice - if you want to sample the pubs carvery before they run out, ensure you get there before Simon and his Ultima

Trying to convince Mr Big that we should be going to this on Sunday. Better than sitting indoors watching the German GP. Weather report is looking good as well.

Any assistance in convincing him would be good guys.

1) Schumacher will win, so save 2 hours of your life (or video it)
2) If he likes beef, the FF is the place to be

Agree with that entirely, the weather is looking good and it`s a very pleasant pub in good surroundings - apart from meeting other PHers

I am helping my parents to move over this weekend but will try and "skive" off for a few hours

Hi, first post, I may be able to make this with a bit of luck, notice its an 01284 number so can't be too far away from me! I'm in Newmarket!

How many people are you expecting?

Bugger, I'm not going to make this one either. Flying boulders have done a good job redesigning my screen and I cannot get it replaced until next week.

It varies - last time we had about a dozen assorted cars; it's just an informal gathering and you'd be very welcome

Welcome to Pistonheads Seems to alternate between 10 and 20 as a norm, and has so far been a good mix of cars!

People tend to have a good lunch and the early birds tend to start wandering off after 3 with some still there past 5 when I`ve generally departed Some get there later on anyway. Nothings fixed.
