Regular East Anglia meets?
Just been looking through the latest Locost Car Club newsletter (Aug 2005) and noticed that someone called Bruce Keeling is trying to set up a regular
monthly meeting at the Black Horse, Stratford St Mary. Second Tuesday of each month at 7:00pm.
Seems like a fine idea, but trouble is, there are no contact details! Are you on this group, Bruce? Or does anyone else know him? Or should a group
of us just turn up at the next one? I believe that the next one works out as 13th Sept.
cheers,
David

A regular meet sounds like a mighty fine idea but can we make it on another day as I play footie on Tuesdays and my beer gut needs the exercise to
keep it down to a reasonable size!

Mmmmm. Yup, that's a good idea......
But instead of meeting at a pub could we meet up at a private airfield ?
What say you Jon.

Didn't have a clue where Stratford St Mary was so i just Autoroute expressed it and at 7.2 miles and a cost of £0.80, I'm sure I can make!

Bit open-ended at the moment - Chris has just (today!) given me Bruce Keeling's phone number so I'll give him a call over the next few
days.
I'll post the outcome ASAP.

OK, I've spoken to Bruce - he asked for the notice to be posted ages ago, and had no response in the past. He's not a computer-user, so
wasn't aware of this forum. He also works shifts, so he hadn't chased up the issue to date.
Anyway, I said that I'd sound out people to see if anyone's interested in meeting up, with the aim of getting there next Tuesday.
I'll aim to get there in my Locost (if wet, in the tin-top), so who else is interested? The East Anglians haven't met for a long while,
so a convivial glass of pop would be good.
To save you scrolling back up the page, it's at:
The Black Horse
Stratford St Mary
CO7 6JS
This village is just off the A12, less than a mile North of the Essex/Suffolk border. It's a largish pub with a big car park. (Use the postcode
in your favourite web map site to find out where it is!)
cheers,
David

So, the weather forecast looks good - how about a show of hands for those likely to turn up?
It looks like Bruce, Mike & me so far!

Guys,I will most likely not be there tuesday eve due to a combination of work and unfortunately availability of fuel-had to queue up for 30mins at
Thetford for fuel tonight at 5pm-need fuel for MK before heading off to colchester-
probably a bit too far in present circumstances!
Maybe next time,
Mike

Mike,
Sorry to hear that - I'm starting to get very annoyed with this petrol nonsense!
BTW - I just went out to fill up my wife's car (no, not panic buying! Her car was down to a quarter-tankful) and mine was the only car in our
local station - there had been queues earlier, but they'd all gone by 8-ish.
See you next time...
David

Sorry.
Looks like I won't make it tonight chaps.
No petrol in Sudbury this afternoon.
I have 1/3 of a tank, but I need that for work.
Have a pint for me, those of you that make it.
