We had a mini-meet in December (5 of us) but I think Seth is planning one in the Bridgend area before too long  :y

It's one option that's being seriously pursued at this time.


However, there's also: http://www.ynysarwedcampsite.co.uk/FarmHome.htm

What's everyone's thoughts on the weekend of Sat/Sun 31 March/1 April? ::)

Work can be done on the cars, such as discs/pads, oil/filter changes etc; though major unit changes cannot.

A liability waiver must be signed, and caravans/trailer-tents will be allowed, though tents could prove to be a challenge.
I've also agreed that a modest fee will be payable, which is only fair as we'll be using electricity etc.
As Mrs Seth isn't staying overnight, I'm happy to accommodate two members in our 'van - bring your own sleeping bags!

Remember now, the above dates are purely provisional at this point ;)

I might well be up for a Wales meet, date dependant. Also happy to bring the Tech 2 along, of course. Would probably be looking to stay ovenight as it's a bit of a trek.

Take this course of action, and you could endure the wrath of a certain Valleys wench at Newent 2012 dear boy.

I'm weak at the knees already ;D. And then the thought of Mrs Seth beating me whilst swearing with a Valley's accent.  Ooooo, heaven ;D

Last March, it took me about 5.5hrs to get to Tenby, going Monmoth, then across the Top of Valleys.  So guessing a good 4 to Bridgend.  That may be a bit much.

'Tis not unknown for Dear Pamela to have a sneaky peek at OOF proceedings my boy! ::)

OOF-approved route for you is:
Your gaffe to Oxford, A34 to M4 J13, thence let the motor fly west along the M4 to J36.
3 hours tops - trust me! :y

The provisionally-set date for the weekend of Sat/Sun (31 March/1 April) has now unfortunately been cancelled.
This is due to essential civil engineering works presently being carried-out within the immediate area that we'd be occupying. With H&S in mind, this situation is quite understandable, though a tad disappointing.

However, my farming friends, (absolute 'real friends' I can assure you!), whilst sincerely apologetic, remain quite happy to accommodate us later on in the early Summer, say around the May/early June period.

Whence the said works are completed, I'm quite happy to set a firm date for our little bash.
What say ya all?
