Right then, after having a long chat with Martyn over several cups of coffee
we have decided the following:

1. We will have a meet in April, dates to suit (think Lee had some
suggestions but can't find them).

2. We are not bothering with a campsite, I have a field everyone can use (or
hard standing), barns to use in the evening, an outside loo, a possible
electric hook up (given a sufficient extension lead) and as much free
firewood as anyone needs. A campsite in the Startford upon Avon area is
going to be nothing but hassle.

3. I will endevour to book my mates off road course (should be no problem)
which is three miles down the road.

4. My local will cater for a good Sunday roast for everyone

5. If people wanted to stay longer I can organise another activity if enough
requests, clay shooting, quad biking etc (all at extra cost)

6. If I can sort it out, I won't ask for deposits, although if people want
to make a donation that will be given to charity in their absence then they
can do so. The aim is for a "pay as you go" weekend, although I will let you
know ahead of time what the associated costs are.

7. I will take a small sum (a tenner say) off everyone that arrives for my
"site fee" part of this will go to buying my father lunch to say thanks for
taking over his farm, the rest will be donated to Cancer Research. If anyone
wanted proof that this has occured it can be arranged.

Hope this covers everything. The key to it all is keeping it simple, who
turns up, turns up!

Marvelous. Martyn said he was well plastered (Jonathan not Martyn) but his
spirit wasn't dampened. If you needed anything 'special' let me know and
I'll see what I can do. Dates to be confirmed, sounds like it might be the
end of April though to try and tie in with childrens hols. Will try and
reach a concensus.

Sorry, I can't make these, I've committed now to same dates elsewhere only 2
nights ago. Site I've booked I've tried to get on three times previously so
had to book early. I've also booked up the summerols too in one foul swoop.
I've checked if I could juggle the dates but the site aint open during my
other leave.

:-(

Don't let that put any one off though, sounds like a cracking weekend in the
offing.

sniff .... sniff....

How far are you from Gaydon? <rubs chin sucking air>

Righto - can I turn up sans vehicle if I'm in the UK at the time? I'm
supposed to be there late-April/early-May for a month or so and I'll try
to juggle airfares to suit.

sounds good to me. I presume we're talking sometime around Easter? Easter
is silly-late this year, school breaks up here on Thursday 13th with good
Friday on the 14th, then 2 weeks off running up 'til the end of the month
and over into may day on the 1st.

I may not be available the weekend of 29th/30th April.

I assume a weekend is ideal, in which case, my vote would be for 22/23
April.

not that far from where we used to live: Rowington, between Warwick and
solihull, very roughly. Used to use A.R.Taylor's Garage in
Shipston-on-Stour, they used to be Reliant dealers and at the time the we
had Reliants.

I'll have a spare seat in mind, probably. and I could bring a tent, in
addition to the usual mattress in the back of Edward.
