Re: Pub Meet in Oxon - 9th March
I'll work out a route tonight, based on an initial gathering at Northampton, then a merge in Brackley, so we turn up at about the right time.

Re: Pub Meet in Oxon - 9th March
If you're late, you'll find us... not waiting! You'll just have to pretend that we're meeting half an hour earlier and then you may just make it on time. You can't use the 'woman' excuse. You're the only one who's always late!!!!
Been very busy with work, etc. Meeting times/points later tonight... Promise...

Rich, hun, no matter how hard I try and how much I try to convince myself that it is earlier than the time set...I AM ALWAYS late - even if only 5-10 minutes. I am making an effort though, I'm only going on on Friday night (drinking) and i'm staying in on Saturday night. I have given up a night out with the ladies to spend Sunday with you lovely lot!!!

Re: Pub Meet in Oxon - 9th March
Ok guys 'n' gals, here are the meeting points for the convoy...
10.30am ... Meet at the McDonalds Car Park, Towcester Bypass (A43)
10.50am ... Meet at the town centre car park in Brackley
These times allow for a leisurely drive and a very slight flexibility in leaving on time for those not so hot timekeepers... But we'll need to leave pretty much on time from Towcester in order to arrive in plenty of time for the second meeting. Hopefully, the weather won't be as bad as last time but we still want to stick together so we'll keep to a reasonable (maybe even legal) speed.
See you all Sunday!

Caroline, you could always fly up the M40 (pun not intended) and off at the Oxford junction... We could possibly meet you at the services.

Re: Pub Meet in Oxon - 9th March
Good grief... We'll be calling at everyone's front door at this rate!
Could meet in the Toby Carvery car park (our old haunt!) around 10am if you like. That way Max might find it!
We'll only be stopping at Towcester to pick up Lee (and possibly Debs) then...

Re: Pub Meet in Oxon - 9th March
Well, I've confirmed it all with the pub this evening! They have asked, if it is not chucking down with rain like last time, if we could all line our cars up out the front, and then take a photo before moving the cars into the staff car park. They are just getting a website done, and want a picture to go on it to promote that they accomodate a few car clubs. As most of the other clubs meet in the evenings, there best chance is with us, and before the general public start arriving at 12:00. So, I'll be there early and start the line off with my car, so as you arrive, please pull in neatly next to me (in usual MG show style!!!).
Look forward to seeing you all on Sunday, and fingers crossed for the weather!

Re: Pub Meet in Oxon - 9th March
Weather... Hmmm... Just watched the breakfast news forecast and it says dry to begin with, but we may get snowed on in the afternoon! Still, if we can do at least one way with the tops down, that'll be a bonus...

Re: Pub Meet in Oxon - 9th March
Mark, it will be great to see you. Unfortunately, we won't have your polo shirt still. I spoke to Sean at Stoneleigh and apparently the equipment he uses to do the printing has blown up and gone back to the suppliers. This all happened at the worst time as he's also relocating. However, he hopes to be back up and running in the near future, as he now has a few SmS orders awaiting completion. I've still got the cheque so it hasn't cost you anything yet!
