Southern Scoff & Spin 2008

[stevieshag]

we would be interested, but wrong wknd for us...

[Nige]

I'll try and rally the troops at the Aug meet nige. Weston is more than double the distance for most of us though.

Thanks Chris. I don't mind if its only a few or a few more the offer still stands. Equally I don't mind if the general view is to head off to Weston.

I'll catch up when I return to the (su)real world in a week or so, have a good H&C on Thu and hope to see you either on the SS&S at the end of the month, or at the H&C in Sep (although I have some more trips coming up).

[Nige]

The only takers seem to be Chris, Jim and Kier? Do the four of us want to do this or is this now canned as we build up to Hethel?

[chris.t]

The way August is going it'll be tipping it down with rain. My vote is to postpone until next year but if it goes ahead i will support as always.

Cheers Chris

[Nige]

Thanks for the quick response Chris, 18 Aug and I put the heating on this evening, so much for global warming! We'll see what Jim and Kier have to say, I really don't mind either way, having made the offer I feel oblged to stick with it and Lynn is still happy but If people want to postpone then I'm fine with that as well.

[Kier]

happy to postpone, I may visit the event at Weston Super Mare instead usless it's tipping down with rain!

Either event would be fine, but we'd prefer Dorset.

Can we say 'weather permitting' though! The weather lately has been atrocious and I think a barbie has to be part of the deal?

But if we postpone, its' not a problem.

Regards

Jim

[Nige]

Jim is positive that he want to go ahead, Chris is on as well as am I. Therfore there will be a Southern Scoff and Spin next Sun 31 Aug unless the weather is truly awful (as it is here this morning). Plan is to meet at my place (if you are interested PM me for an address) around 1030-1100, go onto Monkey World near Wareham at a leisurely pace and return to my place for a BBQ late afternoon early evening. We will do all the salady rabbit (monkey?) type food that goes with a BBQ and all I ask is that you bring your choice of protein to be charcoaled, this can sit in our fridge whilst we are out and about.

[Kier]

Excellent, glad to hear this is back on, see you Sunday

Now that the SELOC event at WSM has been cancelled are we going to get more takers for the SSS?

Maybe

I have been in contact with Nige.........

...it is only me and Iain (+ Lexi) as Angie, Paul & Ailwyn are otherwise engaged, and i think Geoff is busy in the garage!

It will depend lots on the weather in the morning - we will be doing something, it is just a decision as to what it will be

I was just a bit concerned that Nige was going to be taking on more than he thought. If you've been in touch i 'm sure everything will be ok. Forecast for tomorrow doesn't look to bad for the pm btw

[Kier]

Considering I was woken up by the sound of rain, I can't beleive we managed to do the trip roof down (except Nige due to hard top) on the way to monkey world and the way back! Plus no rain whilst walking around monkey world, or during BBQ ... AND that was with Jim (rain man) attending!

Good to see you all, thanks to everyone for the grub back at Nige's. Thanks to Nige & family for letting us into their home!

Several pics can be found in an album here..

Here's just a few.........

[chris.t]

So glad we went ahead with this after looking at the weather forecast. Really enjoyed Monkey World, good to see that those poor animals are getting to see a bit of life. Could have spent longer there actually. BBQ was excellent, thanks Nige for allowing us to decend on you. Took it easy on the way back and arrived home at 11.45pm.

Here are some photos anyway.

Just to show everyone what they missed, boring looking at cars all the time

I'm so sorry I missed this, I've been so busy i've not had time to look at the forum.
Glad you all had a good time
