Due to holidays and other meets, I reckon we need to get another meet in pretty quickly.
We have previously met in Reading but have received several complaints about traffic. People have suggested the Lord Derby Pub in North Warnborough, so here goes:-
Date: 25th April
Time: 12.00pm
Venue: Lord Derby Pub, Bartley Heath, North Warnborough, Hook, Hampshire, RG29 1HD.
I have spoken to some (well one) member and we are looking to make meet no. 10 a camping trip at the end of May (Bank Holiday) and this will be discussed at meet 9.
You know the drill......copy and paste.

can repairs be done here i need cover gazkets done on mine and new breaks and service
do u get parts cheaper too as will leave this to u to sort if do
-
I'm not sure about repairs. Would have thought it a bit awkward as it's only a pub. I don't get cheap parts, you need to find a trade club card holder.
Any one of our previous meets would have been ideal for your repairs, but this one is at a different venue due to popular demand. It'll be interesting to see what a difference moving the venue makes (apart from Marti and Rob having to travel half the distance).
Thanks
Mike

Hey Andy!!!!
No need for you to join in on the mocking too! It takes years of practice to get as good at holding a torch as I am. Rob will tell you!

:) Thanks Ian, will see how it goes, if its key hole rather than the usual meat clever then might get away with it. Second time same side :'(

Just been to the Lord Derby (I have a rare day off) to have a look and the first thing that struck me is how small it is. Also, I couldn't see a car park other than a bit of a forecourt outside.
I am not sure about the weekends, but there was a bit of parking at the roadside we could use.
Has anyone been there? Do they have a bigger car park around the back?
Thanks
Mike

not going to be able to make this one I'm afraid, I'm working and can't swap rest days around (no one seems to like late nights, I wonder why :() will definately have to catch up woth you guys at no.10

Hi all,
My family would like to come to this meet and have a meal in the pub. However, Debbie is at work til 2pm.
Any chance we can make the new time 2pm and you all stand about chatting and we eat after I get there at about 3pm?
I don't want you lot finishing your meal as I arrive :(
Paul (VX1) won't be there til about 2pm anyway....
So, if you're all in agreement, the new time is 2pm with an aim to eat at say 3.30pm?
Thanks
Mike
-
Your pushing it now Mike!
(Only come for the food) ;D ;D ;D
-
It's better than some people just coming for the FREE repairs?
I'm also coming for the great company!
:)
-
Unfortunately guy's and gal's I am not going to be able to make this one due to lack of funds (totally skint) also going away at the end of the month over the bank holiday so need to keep hold of the pennies and pounds. It's a shame I have to miss this one as you all know I am one of the 'usual suspects', but don't worry I will be at the next one. Don't forget the many pics as well.

I just want to confirm a couple of things.
1) This meet is still on
2) The venue has changed to the address below. We only moved it to the Lord Derby as a few people said they would come if we did, and they are not anyway.
3) The new venue is
The Cunning Man, Burghfield Road, Burghfield Bridge, Reading, RG30 3BR.
4) Date is still 25th April
5) I won't be able to get there until about 2.30-3pm so can we make the new time 2pm?
Thanks
Mike
Thanks and see you all next Saturday.

He hasn`t touched mine since New Year (i think) Last time he walked past it on the drive and kicked the tyre doesn`t count (that was when goldie was the only 3.2 :P )
Sorry to be an outsider, I`m not gonna spend a day cleaning my car.. only going there for lunch ;)

Looks like you don't have the same passion with this one as you had with goldie, Marti. I can remember you had a forcefield round goldie so no one could get near it ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Junction 11 Andy. If you come of at 11 then turn left and head towards basingstoke (A33), First roundabout turn right (Grazeley) then take second left and just follow it all the way.You will come to a set of traffic lights, go throught the lights (when on green) over the bridge and just follow. Eventually you come to the end of the road and turn right, follow for about 1/3 of a mile Cunning man comes up on the left. :y
HTH

Well, that was a great meet, I think it was 9 cars in total, 10 if you include my dads Nissan Terrano. RobseyMV6's parents came, my parents came, my wife and kids and AndyCDXV6's family came too.
A great meet and no spanners left their toolbox, just a chat, meal and a drink.
Roll on no. 10.... A "cruise" to the coast. Watch the meet section for further info.
Thanks
Mike

Indeed, i had a great afternoon.

I had a great time too :)think I counted 10 migs but 1 of them might not of been with us (it looked a bit battered :o) enjoyed meeting a great bunch of people, gutted I forgot my camera (helps my memory! :P) my daughter (Lucy) made a friend with Andy's daughter (Jordan) and already wants to invite her round for tea ! :) Looking forward to the "Portsmouth cruise" already :) :) :y :y
