View Full Version : *** Cambridge / East Anglia meet, 28th October, with optional drive-around ***
Bitten Hero 23 October 2001, 13:44 Thought it was time for a proper new thread :D
Details of the meet:
Location : The Plough in Fen Ditton
Date : Next Sunday, 28th October
Time : From 11:30am onwards
Directions : From the A14 come off at the Fen Ditton turn-off (B1047 I think) towards Cambridge. After a couple of miles, in the centre of Fen Ditton, turn right (the Blue Lion pub will be on your left as you do so). Follow the road down for about 100 yards, then bear right at the War Memorial. Follow the twisty tiny road round for another 200 yds or so. There will be a sharp left, and then a bit further up the pub is on the left while the road continues round a bend to the right. Great venue...

Also, for those who want to, some of us are doing a 'Ring of Cambridge' run:
See here for original organising thread: http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/Forum19/HTML/000546.html
and here for the results: :) http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/Forum19/HTML/000561.html
Could I take a straw poll of those who are coming to the meet, and those that are thinking of joining us for half a run (45m) or the full ring (87m)?
See you on Sunday!!!
:D

Mark Champion 23 October 2001, 15:09 Me, with one passenger. Might do the Ring Thing if
a) it is dry
b) I get my brakes done in time
If anybody from Ipswich wants to meet up on the way I'll be at the Tescos petrol station on the Copdock roundabout (this is the one where the A14 meets the A12 BTW) at 10:50am
Then off down the A14 to meet anybody else at the BP petrol station on the triple caridgeway (the bit where the A14 and A11 join) at 11:30ish. Probably be best for the Norfolk peeps.

Huge 23 October 2001, 19:44 Hi Richard,
Should be there AND doing the 'optional' drive.
Bit of negotiation required though - it's the other half's birthday on Sunday so it could be one of the costlier meets I've been to. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

GMAY 24 October 2001, 13:35 Hope to get to the pub for 11.30. Will be doing the Ring - probably as far as Barrington (the half ring) seeings that the nights will be drawing in due to clock change.

Dave T-S 25 October 2001, 08:48 Hugh

Cobra race seats promised for delivery today or tomorrow - if so, guess what I shall be doing on Saturday....:D:D
Re threats of violence, these can be allayed by payment of bribes:D:D
Renault21Porsche0 25 October 2001, 18:32 Should be fun, may not do the drive though.
See you at the Plough.
Cheers
Lee

Dave T-S 27 October 2001, 21:03 Cooky
How come everyone else on the planet has either four or six point harnesses but you have five? :eek:
Is the extra one to harness your unfeasibly large testicles???:D:D;);)
