Next meeting
Just heard on the radio that hospitality sector might be able to re-open next month if distancing is reduced from 2m to 1m, so of course my thoughts immediately turned to a possible meeting. I'm thinking maybe Derbyshire would be the best run so more of our friends from 'oop north' can hopefully come along. It would also make it easier to relay parts to Jiff's storage assuming that the generous gift is bulkier than can be stored in the surrounding area.
We can but hope......

Re: Next meeting
I may be in.
May not be in a 480 by then though.
May come in the V8 XC90.
My I recommend the Snake Pass?
Mainly because it's my commute and it's pretty hilarious how quickly I can do it in the XC now

It's a good day out and Sylvia sorted a good route for it, and yes it includes both Snake and Woodhead passes...
Hope you can join us when the time comes!

Re: Next meeting
I'd love to but In my infinite wisdom I took a weekend job. Hopefully I'll be able to get holiday (not allowed to book any until probation is up at the end of Jan though...).
If not, I finish at 3pm so could always pop over for the Saturday evening food. If it's actually on the road/I don't sell it through frustration, of course! I look forward to a lovely spring day with everyone and their cars.

Re: Next meeting
Given that there is always a handful of us staying over anyway unless a particular meet happens to be close to home for us, it would be really good to widen the area covered and do a whole weekend. People could join as and when they could, depending on availability and location. For example, the classic Derbyshire Peaks meet could have a further trip up into the Yorkshire Dales added on...dragonflyjewels wrote: ↑Mon Nov 09, 2020 3:47 pmMight do a whole weekend one to ease the pain of the covid gap !
All food for thought - but here's desperately hoping we can do some meets again next year!

Re: Next meeting
...Sorry, got excited!
Let's hope the usual September meet will be in with a good chance of happening.
Ah, it'll be so nice.

Re: Next meeting
Sounds dead boring ! Taking the latest good news into consideration, it looks as though the Torque Volvo 600 might go ahead at the end of June, so I'm thinking perhaps the following weekend, 3-4th July. Rest assured, as soon as we can I'll be organising a 2 day event to celebrate FREEDOM !Yes please! I’m in hotel quarantine and need something to look forward to on the other side!

Re: Next meeting
I'm all in, but given the rate of reopening in this country run by lobbyists (and then relapsing in a next lockdown probably) it will probably be September before I'm allowed to do anything abroad.

Count me in! A weekend driving cars, hopefully in the sun, seems like heaven right now.
