[Monty]

In there news letter it says lunchtime, so should we take this as 12.00. So thats next saturday. At least it`ll be a drive out  ;D<br><br>Wonder if this is the place:-<br>http://www.4hotels.co.uk/uk/hotels/thecrown-worthington.html<br><br>postcode WN6 0EH<br>Multimap, don`t forget u can zoom in and out.<br>http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&db=pc&lang=&addr1=&client=public&addr2=&advanced=&addr3=&pc=WN60EH&quicksearch=WN6+0EH&cidr_client=none<br>

The car is in the paint shop now but should be out on Thursday.  All going well with the refitting of door and glass seals,  I'll join you all at the Crown.  By my reconing thers should be four of us - mk29, dico, Monty and myself.  Are there any other takers?<br><br>[smiley=cheers.gif]

[Monty]

Simon, u having a full respray? Have to have a chat about that on sat, as mine needs a bit of a spray.<br><br>Just hope the link i put up is the correct place  :-/

[51mon]

Monty, it’s a full job but at a small garage that I have known for years.  If they balls it up I wont be there on Saturday out of shear embarrassment!

[Monty]

They better do a good job as they might have a new customer if the price is right, any we`ll talk about that on sat.<br><br>Who else fancy meeting up on sat, should be an interesting day.

[Monty]

Talking to Dico today and we`ll be there about 12, hopefully with no ladies so we can talk Lotus.  ;D do u guys want to meet up in a little convoy?  ::)

[mark29]

can do, where are you suggesting??<br><br>i'll be coming up the A49 (oh er missus) [smiley=naughty.gif] , but can meet anywhere...<br><br>

[51mon]

Mark, as you come up the A49 I'll meet with you for the trip up (how about the Stretton roundabout by the Bupa hospital).  Monty & Dico, what is your planed route?<br><br>Simon

[Sooty]

The Lancashire Club Lotus lot won't know what's hit them when you lot turn up. <br><br>Its not normally the liveliest meeting, but I'm sure you'll be able to entertain yourselves.<br><br>For anybody that is also at a loose end on Sunday, its the NORLOG meet at Owd Nells, which is on the A6 between Preston and Garstang.<br><br>www.norlog.net has a forum with an Events & Meets section where you can find out when the next meets are happening.<br><br>Hopefully there'll be more of us than when you turned up at Milnrow.<br><br>SOOTY

[Monty]

Simon,<br><br>Not sure which way were goin, maybe the M61. Dico will have a better idea of this, but he`s on a nite out tonite in his tin cab, so he`ll reply tomo`s.<br><br>Sooty,<br>Don`t think i can make that meet, but should be ok for the March one.

[Sooty]

Monty, No probs.<br><br>Best way to get to the meet from Stretton Fox, is M56, M6, off at Jct 27 and into Standish. <br>In the centre of Standish at the lights, turn left and then there's a right turn after about 400 yds (Avondale St, I think, which turns into Bradley Lane). The pub is on that road just under the railway bridge !!<br><br>I'll try and make it to say Hi.

[51mon]

Car not back from the spray shop today (thursday) [smiley=cussing.gif]but will have an update friday morning which may mean burning the midnight oil to get it ready for the meeting - will update you all tomorrow night.

[Sooty]

Dico, <br><br>From Manchester the M61 is indeed the better way.<br><br>If you fancy a bit of a run there together, do you fancy meeting me near Junction 6 at about 11.40?<br><br>If so, as you get off the M61 and head down the A6 towards Adlington/Chorley, there's a pub just on the right called the Brinsop Arms. <br><br>From there, there's a couple of different ways to get there, both reasonably interesting !!

[Monty]

Nice one Sooty, what will u be going in? <br><br>Sounds good to me, Dico i hope u know where u`r going  ::)<br>Simon get hard at it, hope u do make it.<br><br>See u all there

[Sooty]

I'll be in the LRG Elise. <br><br>Brinsop at 11.40. Any problems you can give me a ring

[51mon]

Hi Guys,<br><br>Car back from the paint shop tonight but still a bit on the soft side plus had a P155 pass from the missus so have done very liitle since then.<br><br>Can't put the soft top up for fear of damage to the paint on ythe rear deck but if it is fine will will do the trip with the roof down.  In any event will still meet up with mark at A49, Stretton Fox at about 11.15.<br><br>Monty the spray job is about 9/10 so deeeds a final polishing of the clear coat in about a week.  

[Monty]

On the map that Monty linked to above, the pub is actually on the elbow to the left of the red circle, but before the railway bridge (black dots).
