Your quite right Jon, the "Southern weekly meet" thread was confusing.

So for the sake of clarity i have started a new thread as Jon suggests.

Here are the details as follows, the venue will be The Black Prince Pub/Hotel in Bexley on the A2 (a map can be found on the "Southern weekly meet" thread posted by Manny if you need one). If you could aim to get there for 11.00am that would be great, gives us time for intros and a chat. They do have a restaurant i will check it out tomorrow and report back.

Just hope the rain stays away and the Blue Water Shopping Centre traffic isn't to bad.

Cheers Des

Des has mentioned the location but not the date : Sunday 9th Feb

Attendees so far are :

Delcac

Stopan1j x2

Mannyo x1

Steve - Possibly

Terrycollins

TaviaRS - Possibly

KarlRS ?

FunkyJutel ?

Looks like it could be a good turnout

I will definately be attending...

Although not sure how long we will be staying for since I will be bringing my young boy (2 Months old) who likes to travel but does not likes stopping anywhere for too long!

Also bringing the wife who just thinks I am (and all of us on here) a bit mad, but I guess thats a women thing?! Although I know a couple of members on here are females and understand the car thing - tell me how does that work, you don't find many ladies who like cars!

Cheers

Terry

Well spotted Manny, you win 2nd prize in the Briskoda Forum quiz. :oops: For 1st prize can someone tell me what bugger has nicked The Black Prince Pub and erected a Holiday Inn in it's place. :shock:

Is this an elaborate Delcac wind-up, i hear you say. I wish it was, still the day is not lost, i have found an alternative a little further into kent. A Beefeater pub called "The Green Man" in Longfield. Being a beefeater it does the usual menu and a sunday roast. It's not the easiest of places to find so i suggest we aim for 11.00am at The Black prince/ Holiday Inn as the meeting place and go from there.

Please could you confirm if you are attending as i will have to book the table for a large group.

I think thats everything, if anyone can think of anything else please shout.

By lucky, Des

Sorry chaps.. Looks like I'm snowboarding that weekend, but I'll be up for another date.

Des,

I tried asking the wife to give me a guaranteed date of birth, but she told me to p*ss off!

I dont know why ?

:idea: If i come, shall i bring a packed lunch instead? :mrgreen:

Steve

She does realize this is a Briskoda meet doesn't she :lol:

P*ss off, bit strong i feel, Perhaps you forgot your anniversary or something. :?

Des,

My x 2 means my wife will be attending so thats one partner coming to provide discussion to other females not wishing to discuss the size of your turbo.

by coincidence I have been to Longfield once as I have some friends who live there that I met on a P&O Cruise. If I remember its the pub by the duck pond, it looked a really nice place.

What a small world I stayed at there house when I went to the meet with Karl last year in that vicinity.

John

Sorry for the silence been a bit busy, over worked under paid you understand :cry:

Still we have Sunday to look forward to. Just incase you haven't got all the details here they are again.

Sunday 9th Feb.

Meet at the Black Prince Pub/Holiday Inn on the A2 Bexley turn off (See Previous post by Manny for map) at 11.00 am, i will be there from 10.45 onwards. If you have trouble finding it give me a ring on 07970 639833, i will have it on all day.

Then a short drive to The Green man in Longfield on the B260, Main Road (DA3) for a chat and lunch.

Onto a place aptly called Octavia Hill. Never been here before but have been told it's a good drive (pos blast, will have check out route first) with veiws over north downs and a pub with a large car park. Unfortunatley Kent is not over endowed with fast, quiet roads. :(

Hope to see you all Sunday. 8)

a good drive [/quote:e9b531cee9]

Not that i noticed but i'am sure i can find sumpthing for you, don't worry it will be oilright.

That was pathetic :shock: I can only apologize Jon. Unfortunately this is not the Dales. Plenty of Horses and Tractors though, oh and those silly people who like walk everywhere.

Thanks to Des for organising what turned out to be a great all be it wet day, even if we managed to get lost on the little route he planned ( Look through the pics and find the one where map gazing is evident). Here is a temporary link to the pics for now.

Great, well done Des!

Sorry I did not make it in the end, had a rough nights kip and met Kevin for the 0-60's tests...how much is a new clutch anyway? :lol:

Looks like a good turn out, despite Briskoda meet weather.

Des,

Well done excellent organised meet - really enjoyed it - managed to find your way home yet?? now where is that castle?? what does it loook like??

What castle???, the veiw of the mysterious castle was stunning so we were led to believe. I felt a twinge coming on just being there it was awsome, Michele couldn't take it and felt like going into labour - what an excuse we had to stay - even Steves son put on an excellent act that he was sad to leave (Steve enjoyed your lads company no end - he's a credit to you both - ten4-copy - roger - hows ya handle.)

Must go back in March:wink

Well.....still no baby!!!!!

Id like to say that Michelle, jess and myself enjoyed the day.

Thanks to Des for trying sooo hard to get us back on the right path, and everyone else for the offers of warm water and blankets........ :shock:

Look forward to meeting you all on the next one.

Steve

P.S Thanks John and Val for letting jesse be Chief radio operator. 8)

Shame I missed it. :( Unfortunately, I had made other plans and met up with some friends of mine.

We decided to meet up at a quaint little hotel in the south of England, near to a little place called London. Well, me being me I arrived late and having 'phoned the organiser to establish the exact location of the hotel found that all the others had beaten me there, so I had to park seperately. Just as well really as my highly polished machine would have looked out of place amongst all the dirty ones.

Well, having parked up I wandered inside to find the group. It was nice to see so many familiar faces and a couple of new ones as well. Coffee had been ordered but alas not a single cake was in evidence. It was now at least 3 hours since breakfast!

After a rather dainty cup of coffee and a boiled sweet, but NO CAKE(!) it was decided that we should leave to go for a little drive to get lunch. The organiser then phoned me from 3 feet away to see if I was going to turn up (my goodness, the man is an organisational genius ).

We arrived at the pub for lunch and managed to find space for all our cars in a nice neat row, even though someone had to move theirs so as not to get in. Its starnge how they mark out the space where you are meant to park and someone automatically ignores them. We managed to get a table for 9, up some stairs and possibly as far from any other patrons as possible. One of our number decided that he was cold, so our resident technical expert turned the radiator on for him, only to complain that the valve only had 2 postions, ON and OFF and that the water that fed it was actually superheated.

After a leisurely lunch, and the discovery of a homing
