Have had a couple of "potential" ideas, wondered if I could gauge interest
before I go any further with them...

1. Have a pal who helps run the LR experience at Eastnor. There is the
potential to get one or more of his vehicles over to go round the offroad
course, possibly even a bloke to do a very brief introduction to the new LR
vehicles?

2. Was trying to think of something to do into the afternoon of the Saturday
as I'm sure folk will have had enough of off roading by then. There is a
small independently owned brewery that are still running off steam that do
excellent tours, wouldn't be too difficult to sort out. The other option for
this is to do it Sunday morning? It is child friendly.

Thoughts please!!

I like that idea. Depending on timing, and availability of said tours, it
might work either day. Last year at K-Quads, we'd pretty much exhausted the
possibilities of the site by lunchtime or soon after, but it's a small site.
I've seen sites which take longer to "do", but then again, you need to be a
dedicated mud-plugger to take all day over it.

Both sound good to me, especially the steam brewery!. I shall be
attending this meet unless it all goes with the MOT on the Disco at the
start of April.

to take away with you.

Hookbrau!

He who says it cannot be done would be wise not to interrupt her doing
