Hi Chris
Have a look at the Exmoor VI thread, 90% of us are Bristol area lads. We will be having a meet and driving across Exmoor on the 8th April. Some of us will also be having a track day at Wroughton on the 17th April. We also meet every other month at The Star at Congesbury Nr Bristol. If You do want another meet give me a time and date and I will see if I can make it.

I know an excellent road that runs from Thornbury to Aust. Only about 4 to 5 miles though.

Let us know when and where you want to meet Chris and it looks like there should be a reasonable turnout(of cars!)
I'd suggest a Sunday lunchtime as you'll probabaly get most people on their day off.

What about...

If you take the Iron Acton to Thornbury road B4429, Turn right onto the A38, there is a pub on the right in about 800yds(can't remember the name.
How about we meet in there Sunday 27th March ? 12noon

Any better ideas ?

Steve.

Hi guys, if you are planning a meet around the Bristol area, I dare say a few of the Southern Midlanders could join you. Put a post on the midlands section.
Also are any of you guys ( girls ? ) doing any of the upcoming easytrack airfield days at Wroughton?

Go on then Ian I know you want to bring your Mum. Invite her along as a Mothers day pressy.
Hope Megan is OK, should not worry about it though they are harden little things. My little un fell down the back steps many a time. Black eyes and split lips, my dragon was the same I would find the little un screaming his head off and the dragon laid out by his side. She is still the same now with any blood. It seems she is OK with the sight of her own blood. But I got her to have a hysterectomy just in case

In view of Anne Robinson's recent comments, would you mind some Taffys turning up on Sunday?!

Mad Bob,
Remember me? First Welsh meet, Plodwyn RB5.

If it's ok with you, may well see you on Sunday.

You Taffys are always welcome. How could I forget that RB5 I was almost in the back seat on most of the run.
