OK, Let's get on with this. I'm presuming Sundays are preferred?

The first Sunday I have free is April 27th, then May 4th, 11th and 18th. Do any of these suit?

A convenient venue (Pub/Grub) can be decided when attendees are known.

Looks like it's a choice between May 11th or May 18th now.

Anybody else care to join in? Any date from the above two preferred?

Just been checking the diary and the 18th May is looking favourite for me, appreciate it is a few weeks out but I currently have no interior in the car as I'm checking the outriggers and changing seats and modifying door card colour etc

With no further preferences having been put forward I propose we settle on Sunday 18th May then.

Once we, hopefully, have a few people signed up for this we can then settle on a venue. Suggestions for the venue are welcome but please keep in mind that should both Rob and Cliff join in, then somewhere roughly mid way between Preston and Scunthorpe would be good.

Let's start a list:

A bit tentative at the moment, will confirm a bit nearer the time. It's only 120 miles between Preston & Scunthorpe so anywhere is fine by me, the car could do with a good run.

I'm in providing the Lotus is roadworthy

2. Cliff

Hoping to have the interior back together in the coming weekends and whilst it will be late for the MOT date of the 1st April I have the car taxed and hopeful there are no real issues, handbrake might be the one thing to watch as it's pathetic :lol:

Looking at the map and searching for suitable places to meet how about this one?

Dog & Partridge

Good size car park, decent looking food and roughly centrally located.
