As Geoff started out with a couple of dates, I'm going to assume he is likely to be available :poke: :poke: on Sunday 6th December (but it's only a few days away).

How does that suit anyone/everyone???

Or what about the following Sunday (13th)? I'm on a 3.00 pm finish, but can get a few hours off.

Then we have location to consider.......

How about The Priory, or do you want to stick to the old one up by the Bridge??

Sorry we've been poorly...... Christopher is getting over Swine Flu. :cry:

As we're only a couple of weeks away from Christmas day, I suggest we wait until the New Year. All those in favour say Aye. Aye. Motion carried.

Well, the annual Christmas Lunch was as well attended as the Hallowe'en Bash and the Midsummer Ball :roll:

It appears that the only thing we ever do well is the Springtime Track Day, and Club Lotus seem to have Hi-jacked that as 'their' event :roll: :roll:

Lets try for a 'New Year' do then (I expect it to happen sometime in late September, at the current rate!)

Bad news about the Swine flu, Geoff - good news that Chris is on the mend :banana:

I now have a date for my new job, so as of the 4th January I should have most weekends free (from work, if not family commitments).

OK all you BOLLECKS, it states UK regional Elan Meetings (regular), so when is your next run out in the Elans?

Having moved to Malvern earlier this year and only just getting the Elan back on the road Im keen to explore......

Any chance of a run out before the summer ends?

Sorry for the short notice and here's hoping that this doesn't get screwed up because of the time difference where you are now, but following on from the very successful BOLLECKS get-together at Castle Combe on 28th May 2011, the next BOLLECKS meeting is on 28th June 2011 at 18:30 - meet at Mickey's Top Sirloin, 6950 Broadway, Denver, CO 80221 (303) 428-3090

I think Pinky's still in France, but I hope you can make it this time Nobster. :wink:

If you're buying a beer - I might just gate crash this one ;)

Just in case I don't make it, have a good time and pass on my best wishes to everyone else there.

Hi,

Is this a 'Closed Membership' club/meet?
Does it ever convene?
Is it useful, fun and/or intoxicating?!?!

I could try the Club Lotus (Avon) meet - but it looks so 'Anorakee'! Whereas any meeting under the banner "Bollocks" must be worthy of my attention!

Hi Pete,

There are no organised events (as is apparent from the dissorganised postings!) - Geoff Smiff is "suposed" to sort it out, but never does....

....about the only thing we ever get round to is co-ordinating the LEC attendance at Castle Combe in May time - but there are other odd days out we try and get to....

....However, since you express an interest, perhaps now is a good time to see if anyone fancies trying to get a Christmas get-together organised :-D

:poke: Smiffy :poke:

There's a group of us from SELOC who meet fairly regularly on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at the Swan in Swineford, but I've been rather remiss about advertising these recently.

I'm thinking of having a Christmas meal there on Tuesday 13th, but we'd need to have numbers pretty soon as it's not a huge venue. BOLLECKS would of course be welcome.

Sounds like a plan - how about December? ;)

I guess the SELOC meeting was last night, so I missed that as well. :banghead: I've got some bling and Pinky might have some plastic bits soon, so how about next Wednesday 25th July? I know a decent pub just to the North of Bolleckland...

Would it be about 90.8 miles from here by any chance?
