Berks P/Ford meet @ The Bull ph nr Reading on 30th March
For those of you that dont know where it is The Bull public house in Aborfield on 30th March @ 7.30pm onwards. The post code is RG2 9QD so you can look it up on multimap for directions. Its on the main road (A327) just on the outskirts of Reading in Aborfield.
We'll be doing another newsletter along with an award for the best car of the night and they'll be plenty of humour and wit flying around as usual.
See you there
If you'd like to suggest something that we haven't thought of so far for either the monthly meets or a social day/weekend/night then feel free to PM me any suggestions
Nath

Yey
Don't stand at the back, nobody's going to bite you, except your hand for a drink maybe
The scariest looking is paddy for sure, but he's the gentlest too

Of course, we don't have any particular requirements for the type of car you drive, some of our regular members don't even have fords, so a caterham with a cossie engine
