I'll have a look in my diary of events.

Now now Ned, don't be so orrible, who else would clear up after you, cook your dinner, clean, fetch & carry for you eh?
I won't be there as i'll be in sunny Hastings

Thats my birthday! anyone fancy giving me a ride as a present?! (in a non dodgy way of course)
Andy

i haven't been to the bridge in yonks.. though newlands is much closer
as swmbo is away you'd be welcome to come back to mine for a gander at my progress if 'twas newlands

Andy
ill go anywhere they make decent tea,a nice view/drive helps of course,the thames would be nice if there arnt too many nissan micra,s there
[Edited on 24/5/05 by theconrodkid]
I know its a day earlier then planned but the British GT's and the F3 along with all of the support races are at Thruxton on Sunday... Just a
thought!
Andy.
how about the "chalet cafe" cowfold near horsham sussex?went there once before,food is good,plenty bikes,some dykes and some donkeys in a field if your that way inclined
Sounds good to me!
But will leave the dykes and donkeys for the others!
Fozzie
dykes in leather, donkeys and fried food mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm heaven

I like dykes so i'll drag joan out of the garage and chuck some juice in her
'fill er up' eh bob?!
sounds like a plan batman , anyone fancy picking me up on the way through guildford? I'll check the map, but sure I can advise on some nice
roads as I know the area quite well
Neddy.
just rang the cafe and they are shut monday any other sugestionshttp://kawasakiw650.co.uk/BikerFriendly/friendly.htm
some more ideas here if anyone knows them
[Edited on 26/5/05 by theconrodkid]
B%gger!..thats bad news......
Back to the drawingboard then...
Fozzie
does it have to be a brekky as such? or does it have to have onsite food?
there is a really nice viewpoint
here
on the south downs, just south of petworth (nice roads to get there aswell) coudl be a meeting point or convoy to there, then there's a nice pub
just down the road ( 1 mile) that i can certainly recommend the food for an early lunch perhaps
another option would be to meet at newlands for brekky then go for a drive/stop at a pub perhaps?! i kow a nice pub in
grayswood which is only about 20 mins
from guildford..
Neddy.

I don't want to 'dampen' spirits too much but just checked the forecast for monday...
http://uk.weather.com/weather/detail/GU8?dayNum=4
Andy.
(sorry about the poor joke!)
Yup, saw that earlier Andy, , but ta anyway...the weather forecasts seem to change by the hour, so it could be different by then...hopefully
Fozzie
What about the Devils punchbowl? But the Hindhead junc could be bad!
The roads down to Grayswood and Haslemere are great!
nearly suggested there ben, but several factors (i used to live 1/2 mile round the corner)
1.) think you have to pay for the car park now
2.) it will be ultra busy
3.) not sure they do hot food
4.) you have to walk from the carpark to get the view
Ned.
Good point, didn't realise you guys wanted a view so much!!!! Nothing better than the sound from 45's and a nice view hey boys!!!
its pay and display,how long would the tickets stay displayed?
gee, someone stole my ticket
Wheres it gonna be then guys?
What about the Devils Dyke near brighton?
I think me caliper is unstuck now , but I dont know whats 'appenin monday...................
Long way for the Guildford lot.
even further for the wlm!
What about Newlands Corner?
hm decisions,i put £10 we end up at newlands
c ya all at newlands then, normal time, except the students who will be late
Ned.
I like the view at Newlands
Any idea of a time tomorrow morning? Wouldn't want to be too eager and get there too early (or an idiot and be late!)
Andy
[Edited on 29/5/05 by andylancaster3000]

Hi gang!!, thanks for the call to check my whereabouts, I set the alarm for 9.00 , couldn't get up , looked out the window at 10.00 it was raining and , there was thunder and lightening about so , stayed put...........
Nice to meet, conrod, ned, bob, james and fozzie at last.
Thanks especially to conrod for the quick blast..!
Andy...
Great meet! and great to meet Ben (BMF) and Andy.
I must say a very big thankyou to Bob and Ned for coming to my rescue!
I dunno, you let the other half drive ya pride and joy, and what happens?...they break it!
Ok, so it wasn't that bad, only a wing stay, but thanks to Bobs spanners, it turned out ok in the end.
Thanks also to James for the 'protective' paper to save the wing from further damage.
What a great bunch of lads!
Fozzie

Best of luck then Andy if you want to see a work in progress you're welcome to pop over and see mine anytime
Ned.
Ned
Thanks for the forms, will check with DVLA re changing name, will remember flaring tool this weekend.
Cheers Ben
Ben,
by all means check with the dvla, but i think i'd be happier if i signed it over, just so i'm not going to be liable for any sorn penalties
even though i've not declared it and not had a letter to date
Ned.
Wheres Trueblue???
Im here and i'd like to move things on but
the welders fallen over ; and the spares
dont exist so a part is being made.
2nd person ive tried to enlist has promised it will be done this week
so its 6 weeks behind schedule; im bored
would have liked to be there monday 30th ; whens the next Walton?
Regards
Trueblue
think we're newlanding again this sunday steve as it's first of the month, last weekend was a bankhols special
Sounds good Ned.
Should be there on Sunday ; bit embarrassed as things have not moved
on for a while; still the welder was cheap
you gets what you paid for.
Steve P
i had cheap (read: me dads old) welder problems, ended up goig and buying meself a brand new one for the majority of the build..
Ned.
