It's been quieter over the winter months but when the warmer weather arrives there's usually a good turn out.

The pub is family friendly and has outdoor facilities for children in the summer.

A mate of mine now lives in Kegworth and reckons food quite decent at the Plank and Leggit :)

How many people turn up (ABS / OOF) on average? Has it been quieter over the autumn / winter?

No rules to say you have to turn up in a Miggy or any RWD Vx for that matter. As you know, a lot of the ABS members turn up in anything as long as it gets there!!

That's a good turnout. Midlands seems to suffer more over the winter, probably because there aren't so many 'locals'

Yep

I popped along after visiting Mark to get some updates done on my car.

Just four turned up but that's to be expected on such a cold day as today.
