C'mon AONW

New Years here and it's time we had a meet

I'm proposing the Whipping Stocks as usual

Map for those that haven't been to one before

It's on the A50 between Knutsford and Holmes Chapel

Wed 16th 7:00pm bit of scoff and a chat

As usual we can be a bit flexible but it will be that week

I'd like you to bring your thinking caps as well beacause I'll be asking you what you want from the Club this year

I've got at least four events planned but I'd like do do more so think about places events or any fun stuff you'd like to do this year
RSVP'd Yes: 5

Re: Time we had a meet

The casual BBQ at some kind of car show would be good, especially if we could sort out a few bits each so it all comes together rather than all doing our own thing - unless that's what the individual wants of course.

Taking it a half a step further. Admittedly it might be a bit harder on the logistics side (but maybe lower risk of food poisoning ) if we could rig up a camp fire or something to cook on and a couple of big saucepans we could take the Italian theme outdoors with a freshly made penne amatriciana/arrabiata or bologneses or something that just needs warming through, boil up water for the pasta, a bit of foccacia, some salad. Bliss.

If numbers are known you or me could easily knock up a batch of a simple sauce, someone get the bread, another the salad and Bob's your aunty. -er than a BBQ AO-stylee.

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

Under the hood, you and me are the same (Lightning McQueen)

Ti experience: Weeks -10. Miles -3825. Minor Niggles -0. Major Problems -0. Enjoyment 10/10. MPG (best) -46 (overall) -39.8

Re: Time we had a meet

Sorry you can't make it Richard.

"Alfas and Imps" - you got it bad. You old romantic you!

Mind, I still have fond memories of TNA141K my old 998 and the short-lived ex Steve Crump red one I bought - reg 670 KOP. I should have retained that reg when I scrapped the shell.

Re: Time we had a meet

I got a special offer email from Daytona karting. I'll fwd a copy in case it's of interest. Unfortunately it lacks prices - probably depends on the numbers.- but suggests there are deals to be had.
