Have to laugh a couple of times we have seen scoobies come down our road - stop outside our house cos there is 2 classics on the drive and then drive off again lol

I wont be at the meet on the 19th as have commitments but would be great to see some more Swindon members. Ive been a BBSCOOBYS member for 3 years now and would be great to convoy to the meets and events at Coombe, come and see us at the club stand at Performance car action day if you can?

Im known as Jimbo in the club and have a blue blob ending OMX.

I will pop an event onto the Subaru page and Subaru wagons page too.

You mentioned Sun Inn in Swindon might as well stick with that unless there is a problem, as long as we keep civil it should be ok

What time would be good for all? Im thinking Lunch time ish say 1 or 2?

Sun Inn on a Bank Holiday will be rammed especially if nice - Is there another place around Swindon with a decent size car park......what about the White Hart on the Oxford Road?

Yeah White Hart would be even better especially if some people are coming from M4 and 420.

Bit later - let the lunchtime rush get out the way........say 3ish - then play it by ear.......could kick a few tyres, have a drink and then have a drive ( not boy racer styleeeee ) for an hour - go somewhere picturesque - take a few piccies and then see.....just a few ideas but up to you squire as you are organising lol.

It is evident that i have never organised anything like this but going by your experience i think you are quite right

Ill have a think where it would be good to go, providing that the weather turns out to be ok.

3ish sounds good, @ White Hart and it should be easy to drive from there without too much traffic.
