Having spoken to V70Graham, and owing to the fact that because of the inflexibility of the Softies meets dates, we won't be attending many, we've decided to revive the Crooked Billet meet. The venue is the Crooked Billet in Iver, SL0 0LP, and a bit more central for us Southerners that don't live on the south coast. AT the beginning of every month we'll see who can make what dates, and go with the majority. Anyone interested in this meet please add your name to the list.

Great idea, this isn't an unachievable meet for us Essex lot, actually been past this place a few times. Takes around an hour to get to from where I am :)
If this takes off I'm game once I've got Damien back :)

Yeah, it's a good blast around the M25. :D

Just thought it would be a bit more central and also allow those 'Essex Boys' (and girls) who fancied it to join in.

It`s because of you lot arguing over the dates that forced me to come up with the fixed dates which have worked for the last two months.

How has it worked, it's meant we haven't been able to attend, and won't be able to attend for the next couple of months, Graham's next one will be September. It works for you, as you only live around the corner.
Post 714432 by AndysR on 2014-05-25 20:49:53
Come on then what dates are we looking at, might be able to come along to the first one depending on when it's going to be :)

With respect it's not worked for all of us, we haven't been to the last 2 and going on your dates will be unable to attend till at least September.
Post 714435 by stribo on 2014-05-25 20:51:03
I'll start a poll. ;)

It only works for me as I`m a sad ££££er who does ££££ all at the weekends.
So any weekend would suit me.

Also as it's not a 130 mike round trip for us Anne would be more willing to go even if I was working.
Post 714442 by stribo on 2014-05-25 20:55:10
The poll's up, not wanting to sway anyone's choice, but North Weald is the 8th. ;) It's multi choice, so pick all the dates you can make.
Post 714443 by V70 Graham on 2014-05-25 20:56:01
The 29th is the date for the BKV Nationals.....just saying.
Post 714462 by Sharkey R on 2014-05-25 22:32:28
I can make any day except the 29th as that's National BKV

Hopefully the first of many meets at the 'Crooked Billet' thanks to stribo for organising (then staying home to watch the GP)
Quote of the day goes to Sarkey San who when told the bill was £11.00 each said "I can do £9.50" even after ordering extra side dishes !

Good seeing you guys :)
Post 720357 by Sharkey R on 2014-06-22 18:22:32
Had a great laugh today guys. Had a bit of a scare coming onto the M4. Failed to spot a traffic car behind me on the slip road as I built my speed up "progressively" to join the motorway. Luckily I spotted him behind me before I went past a licence losing speed. They pulled up along side me and I was waiting for the point towards the hard shoulder only to see them both looking and the passenger giving me the thumbs up before they gunned it. Result :)
Was good to see the masses that turned up. Had a laugh as always and can I just point out that I was going to pay my bill by card! I'm not that tight! Lol
