SOUTHERN AREA - Hen & Chicken, Alton. 2nd Wednesday of Month

[tonny006]

Is there a meeting on the 6th Jan.
I need a reason to give the Elan a run after doing the head gasket and before a track day on the 23rd.
Tony

[chris.t]

I'll be there Tony but not sure which car yet.

[tonny006]

I'll see you there, even if it is just the 2 of us.

I expect so and plan to be there so hopefully that will be at least 3.

[muley]

I'll be there - unless a miracle happens I''ll be in the snotter

Happy New Year

Weather forecast doesn't look too good - if it's bad weather I might give the meet a miss

ditto Jim - I wouldn't want to get stuck in the pub all night

[stevieshag]

what about changing it to thursday

[Nige]

M'mm, my attendance will be dependant on the weather, which means I'll decide on the night after looking out the window. If the forcast snow does appear then I may choose not to venture out, shame as I have the discount vouchers for food picked up at the Christmas do that are valid in Jan and Feb only.

I've just looked out of the window and made my decision! Happy New Year and see you at the February meet...

[tonny006]

Just looked out of my window as well.
I don't think it's Elan weather out there.
I don't think i will be going unless it gets better.

[DaveB]

Well done if ANYBODY gets out there today....

.... you might have the pub to yourself.


I tried a drive today (not in the Lotus, I'm not THAT stupid)... didn't get very far.

Anyway... I'm off now to go and 'panic buy' something...

[rjbean]

I'm afraid we're going to chicken out tonight. Hope everyone is well.

[Nige]

Discretion being the better part of valour, I'm staying at home tonight. It's not too bad here as Bournemouth and Poole seem to have missed the worst of it (no snow at all at work this morning) but the Hampshire end seems to have caught a heavy fall again (for the South that is).

[Dave Eds]

14 hours to get to my first meet - and not one of you there to greet me!

[Nige]

Dave, you could have pushed on all the way to Bournemouth and I'd have offered you a beer!

[chris.t]

Well from 3am on wednesday morning we had a power cut through to 8pm. Couldn't get any cars out and we had no food. Not that we could have cooked any anyway. Baked potatoes on our open fire and found out that 1 hour in the embers is far too long Still power came on so we could watch celebrity big brother

[DaveB]

Perhaps we ought to put this in the wiki

[chris.t]

Perhaps we ought to put this in the wiki

very good and had I have had an internet connection it would have been very useful yesterday

[tonny006]

After the bad weather last week and no one being able to get to the Hen and Chicken.
I have checked the weather and it is warming up slightly and hopefully melting the snow.
Does any one want to meet there this Wednesday instead?
It will give me a chance to test my new head gasket.
