Get together.

[carob]

Just been thinking about the BBWF and what a great time we had there this year. Would anybody be up for an impromptu meet up somewhere central. A bit like what we did last year for the BAR. Just book into a Premier Inn or the likes with an adjoining bar and have a bit of a get together.

I know for sure they would welcome us back to the one in Sunderland with open arms.

Just an idea.

I am trying to get Wedgers to the BNG which I am organising this year
which is near Leeds so is really central

I have even got Tony The Lean Machine "Elvis" for the evening function
and a friend running the disco so will be a good night

On the Saturday I also have a 2 mile long runway for just 320 per 1/2 hour slot
and based at Sherburn Airfield so lots to see and do as well as the TVRs

Hoping to get a Rolling Road and also an F1 type simulator as well

Mark Ziga coming to organise the Wedge calendar photo shoot with glamorous gilies

Only problem is it is the weekend after Dixies Wedding and a couple of weeks before the RNR

Cheers
Trickie

Might be a chance I could get to that on the way back from the honeymoon not sure wether we are driving a tour of scotland or flying to Italy. But not sure which yet.

I like the idea Rob But must say Sunderland may be a bit far (i appreciate the journey to Ett Chase is a schlomp) for an overnight meet.

Derbyshire sounds nice (middle of the countryish) and is around 2 1/2 to 3hrs from here.....how far for you guys ??
I reckon me, monkey boy and maybe Zig would go from daarn saarrrfff. (maybe more)
Regardless of final destination and for input/interest purposes.....i like the sound of it !!

Derbyshire has some ace roads and places to stay Gav no doubt. But this is middle for everyone and we have guys and gals from Scotland to consider. And seen as though the geographical center of the British Isles is Northumberland i don't think up here is not a bad call really.

But i would be happy travelling down south no problem for another get together.

Either way Gav i would be up for a meet anywhere as just the patter and a few beers in Wedge/Chimp and any other flavour of TVR is always an enjoyable occasion.

See if there is anymore interest and we can chuck something together i have no doubt.

Trickie's BNG sounds fantastic.its just what i wanted to do this year, but i cannot make that date and i was not at the fest either as those dates were posted wrong (last years left up) and i booked a holiday !!

If i could have made BNG i would have been happy about that one.

August and September are too tight for me to venture out...so October is the earliest.
Weather is usually okay in Oct and if us guys arent too scared of cooler fresher air, and the chance of a few raindrops....coupled with still having tax on the cars, perhaps we could have a meet up (without sausages Zig).

Monkey boy is touring Italy/France et al and will be back in a couple of weeks so i will run it by him upon his return.

Fair play to him, he really puts some miles up on that chimeara !! We done 1050 just going to le mans (with a few detours) and she never missed a beat.

He has just had a new programmable ECU fitted (at great expense) in preparation for an LPG conversion.
All well planned, including reducing the size of his petrol tank to create more room and the ECU is a better way to go than piggy-backing off the existing (apparently)

All in all, he is great with knowledge, likes an Ale, and really does love a wedge (hes just invested so much in the Chim, he cant back down !!)

Anyhow, lets try and rustle-up some interest and see how it goes.
