Hi Jeanette - I agree, last time we met you guys was way back - only just seen your wedding photos (excellent) my F has just had a xmas present (new tyres all round and few other bits) - hope a meet is arranged soon.

Happy New Year to You All :party:

Last time I spoke to Steve, we were chatting around a Sunday pub meet, maybe some where over Birmingham/Sutton way as we seem to have a growing sub group over there now. Watch this space. Was hoping to get out for a run myself over xmas but the car has played up a little so don't trust it to go too far at the present.

Even though you can get good food and service at Lea Marston Leisure Centre, it has a bad reputation for cars been broken into so I would give that a miss unless the weather is fine to stay out with the cars ;)

Some where around Kingsbury water park would be good. Nice area and easy access for most and can be reached by just country lanes from Coventry :D

Dog & Doublet looks like the best bet then. Who could make it next Sunday (13th)?

Address for those that need it:
Dog & Doublet Inn
Dog Lane
Bodymoor Heath
Sutton Coldfield

Should be able to make that Steve even with the car playing up at the moment. Kingsbury is within the limit of the car. lol

At the mo there is:

Steve
Keith
Chris T
Teresa & Chris

Was going to aim to get there around 12:30.
I havent booked a table as I'm hoping that with there only being a few of us there shouldn't be a problem, but if we get many more then I'll book to make sure.

Sorry, we have few busy weekends coming up so we will not be able to make it.
Today is of course the 2nd Wednesday so we will visit David at The Bull at Weston under Wetherley for supper if anyone cares to join us albeit the OSH is 'On Tap' rather than pulled.

Have a good supper Geoff. Can't make it tonight, even for a pudding. Car is back in the garage for a check over on that cooling system (think it just loves to visit that place - it is it's 2nd home now)

List update:

Steve
Keith
Chris T
Teresa & Chris
Mr & Mrs Irwin (Alan & Jeanette)
Floozy (Alison)

We have a party now :D

Keith, you have 8 months to get the car right. What are the probabilities ??. May I suggest that you spend one man hour at £40 with Techspeed ??.
Low turnout last night but the Food, Wine and sticky pudding was as good as usual.
Have a good party on Sunday. Sorry, we have a house to prepare to sell. Not this one.

Will see you all tomorrow around 12.30 - bring cameras - I think a photo shoot for the gallery would be good (hoping the weather is like today) :thumbsu:

Weather not looking promising for tomorrow but you never know we might get lucky. Had a short topless run today - was well good. Short hop across country tomorrow for a good lunch & catch up. See you there tomorrow :D

Geoff (not to take over this thread) but 8 months may not be enough to get the car right with my run of bad luck. Looks like the 'new' head may be cracked causing my cooling issues. Talking with supplier before I move forward with a repair. My beloved car is turning into a money pit at the moment :roll:
