OK guys, it's coming up to the 3rd Friday of the month again, so time for the Kent meet, as above
Venue - this time it alternates back to "The Wharf" pub at Crossways near Bluewater (as I think most people agreed last time at Maidstone). I'll sort a map shortly.
Start time about 7:30? I'll probably be late due to work, but I'm sure you can cope without me for half an hour Probably not my turn to organise the meet, but somebody has to do it!
If any of the newer recruits want to email me (as per profile), I'll add them to the meeting mailing list.

We will be there, I was going to give it until tomorrow, then I was going to post
I thought Hol might have organised this one as he has had a nice long break
I am in sunny Blackpool at the moment, using a very slow computer! I haven't seen many other scoobs though, 276 miles and only 3 scoobies and those were in the last 50 or so miles
Jake puked all the way, so my car smells wonderful at the moment, we are trying to make it smell a bit better for Friday ot I will have to park over the other side of the car park!!

Hey, ive enjoyed my sabbatical break
To be honest, Im still looking for the 'ideal venue' that we can use every month. Its amazingly hard as i want a pub that we can see the cars from the inside, that also has a beer garden for the summer evenings.
On the face of it, that sounds easy, but every time I think Ive got a good one, I drive past on a friday and see a full car park. kinda defeats the object.
I think that the best bet we have is for everyone who attends to nominate a pub that fits the (fussy) criteria (or is it Fuzzy?) and for us to try each one in turn.
Sooner or later someone will come up with a gem.
Talking of the summer, who fancies a Saturday or Sunday down at Camber sands? Beach games and BBQ etc...

Hades - guys & girls please!
Hol - Camber Sands sounds like a good idea, weather permitting! We would definately be up for that (as long as it's not windy, Camber Sands & windy weather do not mix!)

Oi! you lot! Thought I would mention I'm running the other kent meet on Sunday 23rd March, mainly as it'll be the last meet I can run for the forseeable future as I'll be in Canada. If any of you fancy coming down, feel free. It's just leaving drinkies for me, but it's still kind of a meet

Timmo - all are welcome, even "foreigners"! Always nice to see a few new faces too.
Pele - I meant "guys" as a generic term for people - you're not wanting me to start going all PC now are you?
Markus - would love to come to your thing but think I will be out on a stag weekend (not mine I hasten to add!)
Camber sands sounds OK, obviously depending on date. Will make a nice change of scene for me as I'm working lots at Dungeness at the moment

Hades - OK I forgive you
We are now back in sunny Gravesend, I had a nice suprise waiting for me - 3 points & a £60 fine! I was a bit disapointed to find out I'd only been doing 10mph over the speed limit, I think I must have been braking at the time! I now have to try & get them to send me the photo, as the camera I think it might be didn't flash, and it does say on the form that there is photographic evidence!, it will be a nice picture to put in my car albumn
Looking forward to meeting you all again on Friday - I might have a new mod - Radar Detector!
Oh, and I forgot
Project Flamer
**Completed!**
Though we have yet to confirm there are flames, but the way a guy who was sitting on my bumper on the way home this evening swerved over the motorway when the beast backfired, I think I could safely say that she does indeed spit flames

Can you believe it, I just got another sodding NIP! beware everyone of the roadworks between J4&5 on M25, there must be specs cameras there, which I unfortunately didn't see I will now have had 6 points in under a week after having a clean licence for over 6 years! I have just ordered radar detector & bits which should be here Thursday, bit like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted though

You must be more observant than me, cos I don't even remember seeing roadworks between J4&J5! Assume they're recent? Thanks for the warning as I'm going through there tomorrow.
You could claim the car was driving itself, as the camera won't be able to see your head over the steering wheel.

Well, I accosted a P1 driver I see every morning today , so theres another one for Fridays meet
Pele, that is harsh to get two so close together. Let me know your findings regarding radar detectors as I think Ill join you. Ive seen some SH Geodesy's for sale, but never bothered.

Hades - you know what the M25 is like, you see signs for roadworks and there's nothing there, I can't actually remember seeing any there, but thats what it says on the notice, so I guess there must be, mind you, I was more concerned with aviding projectile vomit from Jake at the time to be noticing roadworks, cameras or what speed I was doing at the time!
Ha! Ha! very funny, mind you, you are not the only person to have mentioned that the car looks as if there is no driver
Hol, this is what I have brought snooper I have brought 2 laser jammers though, for all round protection, they ain't going to get me again if I can help it! They are prepared to do a deal if you ask nicely I got a VERY good deal indeed
