:poke: Gary

He's the one to set the next since he didn't make the last meet.

If not I can accept the responsibility again if you like?

Ive Heard Leicester is nice this time of year :wink:

Meeting at Bruntingthorpe and blasting around the country roads then food at the Shearsbybath on a sunny sunday is a perfect way to spend a day.

I would be up for Sunday 18th, it would be nice to see a few more Elans this time :wink:

Anywhere local to us would be great, i did suggest Shearsby Bath but theres plenty of good places.

Cheers

Can't make 15/16th, could make the weekend after ?, presume PaulN is talking on Tuesday evenings still ?, doesn't bother me, but Stef likes to see the cars Paul !, still if we go away from tuesday nights, we'll lose Dico, & i think thats unfair as he's always supported us, so i suggest we have at least one more tuesday night before the winter sets in, perhaps nearer to Kettering ( i don't know any pubs out there ), & then with the onset of our lovely british winter, perhaps we can switch to a sunday ?

I'm busy every weekend up until Stoneleigh, but might be able to make next Tuesday. Kettering sounds fine to me.

Sorry Paul, i read it and i think thats what Stef meant that it would be the Weekend, as it was a lunch time meet.

Your right about not losing anyone. So like Stef said why not do two? One on a Tuesday night and one on a Sunday?

I would try to make a Tuesday night, but can more or less make any Sunday for the next month or so.

Might have the wheels sprayed up by then too :wink:

Cheers

Its the entrance to Kettering opposite the A43 road heading towards Northampton M1 (Not Corby)

Tues 4th say 7:30?
