I am meeting Tony in Frome, into Bath via the Bath Hampton Toll bridge.  £0.60p, but I think free at the weekend.
Where can we meet the main groiup?

M

Mark, as per my previous post, we can meet you at the left layby on the A46, which is just 500 yards before the M4 Junc 18 roundabout at about 12.00

[foggy]

Where's that sun gone, I will have to put the hood up now! Hopefully it will get better as the morning goes on.

[Bulldog Bri]

Got a couple of brolly's in the car for anyone that needs one. 

[Grin-a-lot]

My hood doesn't fit because of the roll bar that was fitted!!  Fingers crossed it'll clear up in the next hour or so!

[Hairy Santa]

Got a couple of brolly's in the car for anyone that needs one. 

Any chance in bringing a gazeebo 

[Casino]

It's now 10:30.
We've had a heavy shower here just south  of Bristol and it's past over now.
The current forecast for Swindon and Cirencester ( Sherston is about half way between the two ) is showing dry but cloudy after 1;00. So the Boules Game should be OK

['The Gaffer']

It's now 10:30.
We've had a heavy shower here just south  of Bristol and it's past over now.

Likewise, and now a very steady stream of rain in Bristol .

Think I will miss the convoy and meet up at the venue later when things should have brightened up



UPDATE. Seems to have cleared up, see you at the Griffin. As Tony pointed out I hope the owner dosent mind a few cars in his carpark!!

[Casino]

We'll still be going to the Griffin meet-up.

and WALNUT should be OK if he goes in his "outfit". All he has to do is cut out two eye holes !

[stupott901]

Im sorry guy's unable to make it got called into work as got our summer ball tonight and stuff gone wrong so had to sort out and just back home now hopefully make next meet

cheers stu

[WALNUT]

Despite the weather, what a good turnout, nearly everyone who put there names down turned up, perhaps it was the late start, or the fact it was on a Sat. and not to far for most of us ( some had quite a bit futher just to make the meet up) But what ever the reason, I think everyone had a good time, It was worth it just to meet our new member from France (Casino) As for the boules, I still dont know what the score was,but it was fun taking part. Glad I made the meet.

Tony

[Bulldog Bri]

Very enjoyable day, even had a fly pass from the Vulcan Bomber!

Again, good to meet up with a few new members, Hope you enjoyed the day as well. 

Best pic I got of the day was us all (nearly) going over J18 of the M4


And of some of us outside the pub.

[Grin-a-lot]

It was a great day, good to meet some of you as well.  Whoever booked the Vulcan flypast - that was a nice touch!

Bulldog Bri - that first photo is great!

[Hairy Santa]

Was a nice day out, nice to meet a few new faces


Sorry cant seem to upload the photo's

[Hairy Santa]

[Bulldog Bri]

Bulldog Bri - that first photo is great!

Not bad for a quick shot over the top of the windscreen 

[Hairy Santa]

Gotcha



Really struggled to get these few on for some reason

[paintman]

Nice day out dispite the weather.  Maybe skittles next time......an English game that we all understand!!!        Nice one!

[dave_bence]

[Hairy Santa]

[WALNUT]

Tony

[Casino]

A great day ( went on afterwards to a BBQ at W-s-M 'till early this morning ).

A  BIG THANK YOU to Ken ( & Dave B. ) for suggesting and organizing  the event . And for the instructions.

Can we do this again please.   P.

[evolution]

Hi guys
Sorry I missed yesterday and let you down.  It was torrential in Severn Beach and the wife she said no.  All the pursuasion under the world didn't get me anywhere.  Should have known better from when I was on the bikes.
Still, I'm glad you all enjoyed yourselves. Sounds like a hoot was had by all.
See you tonight if still on.

Steve

['The Gaffer']

Those that didnt make it missed a great day despite the rain. Had to be said I got a right soaking on the way home then later brilliant sunshine combined with a stiff breeze on the M4 dried me right out

I think we had over 20 cars in the end? Great convoy

For those having problems with pics, simply try later. The pic host server may be busy. Worked fine for me.

In the spirit, well done that man..


The 'Tossers' try thier best..


A few showers failed to stop play..


Skittles for an event soon then.
