Gib,
Hope you can make it. Enjoy the drive there if you do!
Al,
That's the style!
The Sud Sprint might be my all-time favourite car. 1.5 Green Cloverleaf was my first ever driver. So pretty - so 'alive'!
Had another 2, plus a 33. Shame they've all but rusted away.
Can't remember the last time I saw one on the road... Oh yes, I can. It was my last one... totally dead... being towed away to someone who broke it for spares. Sad. (But I've kept a few spares. I know I'll own another one, one day!)

Thanks for coming along tonight, Al. Great to meet up again. The TR sure picked-up many admiring looks and comments.
Thanks to everyone else who turned-up, as well.
Think things should grow nicely over the next few meets.
Agree completely with your comments about seating / cars. (That's why I initially went for the Square & Compass.) It's surprising, you'd think that choosing a suitable pub would be easy, but there doesn't seem to be a perfect choice.
I'll have a look again at the Bingley Arms. And David and Guy (Volvo Amazon) recommended a place on the main road near Pool. We can keep trying out a places until we find a place we all really like.

People don;t have to sign-up but it helps to know who is coming, for the sake of numbers.

Hi Andy,
Sorry, I've only just seen your post.
The date of the next meet is Thursday 6th June, 7pm.
I'm waiting for a venue to get back to me, so I'll know for sure where it's being held by this coming Friday. But in any event it will be either in Roundhay or Chapel Allerton, Leeds.
I'll post an update just as soon as I can.
