Just trying to be helpful :lol: It’s not often you find the words “Jonathan” and “organiser” in the same sentence. Actually, I’m not even sure I’ll be there on Friday evening - I believe the Steering Committee has other plans . . .

Well, you’ll be expected to dress for dinner, if that’s what you mean. John Deere overalls, Mole Valley farmers welly boots, and a belt made of baler twine should do it :lol:

For me that will be over dressed.

No 2 dress for you Trevor :lol:

Due to a slight change in circumstances we are able to attend !
I've checked with Burton Hill and much to my wife's disappointment they can fit us in :D
We will be arriving on Friday afternoon leaving Sunday morning.
If there's any room for us, we are up for the Curry on Saturday and Smoking dog on Friday, totally understand if not.

Good news Steve (maybe Leslie doesn't think so!)

Friday night shouldn't be a problem at the Dog, and an extra 2 for Saturday shouldn't be a big issue for Jonathan to sort out :poke: :lol: :lol:

Curry not a problem, as Mark/Rambo is now unable to come. So as long as you and Mrs A promise to eat no more than he would have done, you’re in . . . :lol:

Team, just to say I’ve not booked anything for the Smoking Dog on Friday evening, and I won’t be there myself, as The Management has other plans. If you want to book, it’s 01666 825823 :D

interesting weekend for me....
fixed issue with fuel tank leak.. and while i was at it. decided to replace the fuel pump (because i was using one that was canibalised from the blue car)

after that, started the car and let it idle for 5 minutes. and it didnt miss a beat.

yesterday morning i spend the morning refreshing the front calipers and then decide to go out for a spin in the afternoon to enjoy the weather....

that was the moment my car decided to stop working....

so.. bottom line is that im not sure if im going to make it to CC now...

for those technically minded, details about the symptoms are in the project thread. help would be appreciated, as im a little bit stumped with this one.. even after talking to Pinky for 15 minutes we couldn't come up with any suspects to check.

Far be it for me to be presumptuous, but that leaves John, Grace and Joao unaccounted for on Friday...... I know John & Grace often meet up with friends on the Friday, and Joao is still trying to sort his car out to attend......

.... but perhaps explain to the pub that there may be and extra body, if that is okay. If we need to split, so be it, and any sensible time is fine by me.

Dave. You must have misinterpreted my earlier post. Grace and I are arriving on Saturday not Friday. So no need to worry about Friday food.
But would be grateful if you could leave space by hedge to get the motorhome in to plug in to EHU. Thanks, see you Saturday am.
