It had previously been suggested that with a good few A2 owners travelling through Kent for this weekends Club Social that we could meet up on Junction 8 of the M20 (continuation of M25 heading south) where I understand there is a large service facility. I am therefore seeking clarity on this issue, and what would be a desirable time ?
If this is going to work we must firstly try to gain some input from those perhaps travelling from destinations maybe 200 miles away, when logically they will note be able to pin themselves down to a precise time of arrival. With this in mind I believe we should firstly be asking those “long distance travellers” what time would be reasonable to them – so come on say something.
In fixing a time I think it only sounds reasonable that before departing from Junction 8 we must allow a 1 hour window for late arrivals. That said the most important point is to establish before Saturday afternoon exactly who proposes to attend, so can we now make a positive list. If it’s only to be Rob Earl and myself, then we can sort ourselves out without much debate, however it would be nice to ascertain right now what interest there will be in the proposal.
It might also be very helpful if we exchanged mobil telephone numbers (or maybe land line numbers), and I am happy to do this with anyone who wishes to email me for that information.
I surely do hope that Sunday is a nice day weather wise, and I am looking forward to showing Steve’s girlfriend how comfortable the back seats in my Golf are. It will genuinely be great for all to put faces to those who we have exchanged opinions with over such a long period, and for me the event will be special when after the social I intend to really call it a day in no longer contributing on the forum.
Btw, perhaps I have missed the boat, but is there a map or directions to the pub ? (Over to you Stuart)
