Poxy weather eh?

...still they did tell us last week it would be bad and 2 hours before it was due to kick off the snow came down then just froze to the road In all honesty me and Craig/Moose130 didnt think they'd be hardly anyone if at all there but decided to take a trek down there in his 4x4 go anywhere pick up ( ) to see whats what and who was there.....

As it goes we were quite surprised that so many had turned up considering the roads were more suited to Torvill and Dean ....

Kevin and his mate Seb, Nathan Parker and a few of his mates, Hooked on Boost and some of his mates. All in all there was about 15-20 people that braved it to turn up and Rod Tarry driving his Swedish chariot that could plough through Canary Wharf if needed....nutters eh?

I'm sure there was a 3dr Cossy and an S1 that pulled in the car park at some time, but either couldnt get past the lot playing Pool by the front door or were froze to the steering wheels in their cars

Oh well guys was it worth the trek, you tell me? Feedback on how it was to find and the place itself would be handy and dont worry about saying it how you see it either ..... Even my misses turned up with a dent free BMW

All in all considering the freaky weather it was nice to meet a few more guys off the board and hopefully a few more will start posting seeing as you met a few more faces yourselves.

There will be another one next month and it will be the last Wednesday of the month so hopefully all those that were blocked in by snow/ice of stuck in traffic, etc, etc will be there this time

Well Thanks for the feedback on the meet either from on here or by e mail I popped into their yesterday and have spoken to the Landlady and its OK to do it as a permanent venue. It just so happened they had also booked it for a pool match as well, but seen as the weather killed it off a bit it wasnt really a problem

Ran, Frog, Maria & Eagle, see you there next time guys

Nathan, me and Moosey were expecting to pull you out a ditch or house the way you took off ...nutter Oh and I'm an expert on ditches before Craig or Peter pipe up

Cossienuts, once its a bit more established we'll all have to pop over to you

H-O-B, dont forget where the oil level is
