essex / suffolk meet.
Craig81 - 16/7/07 at 04:36 PM

hi all,

we must be due for another tyre kicking session somewhere in the essex suffolk area. The one we had at barton mills in the spring had a good turn out.

Any ideas????

The Mount Bures venue is getting popular - decent pub, accessible from many parts of Suffolk & Essex. big car park.

Just watch out for the hump-back bridge when approaching from the south! (ask RazMan about that...)


RazMan - 16/7/07 at 06:29 PM

I thought my ears were burning

Yep, Thatchers Arms is a good venue - let's make it soon!


tankerman24 - 16/7/07 at 07:12 PM

Im hoping to make the next one, bloody weather, hope summer arrives soon.


rusty nuts - 16/7/07 at 07:19 PM

If the weather is OK I may be there!


BKLOCO - 16/7/07 at 07:40 PM

rusty nuts - 16/7/07 at 07:55 PM

Not too sure if I'll be making it as my wife is in the General after having a stroke

Anyone know how long to expect the recovery to be?

Rich


x_flow57 - 17/7/07 at 09:40 PM

Unfortunately I'm working so unless we are talking Sunday eve I won't be able to make it.


David Jenkins - 18/7/07 at 08:36 AM

I've just remembered that I can't make Sunday either...


BKLOCO - 18/7/07 at 04:33 PM

I can't make this Sun either.
Any night next week would be good or following Sun.


Gaz 1977 - 18/7/07 at 04:54 PM

any night after tuesday is good for us.


rusty nuts - 22/7/07 at 06:50 PM

How about the 29th??


RazMan - 22/7/07 at 09:50 PM

29th's good for me


David Jenkins - 23/7/07 at 03:12 PM

I can give a definite "maybe"...


Danozeman - 25/7/07 at 08:37 AM

Ill be a maybe.

What time are we talking? I have a couple of things to do..


David Jenkins - 28/7/07 at 12:10 PM

So... is anyone going to Mt Bures tomorrow?

If so, what time?

Weather permitting, of course!

rusty nuts - 28/7/07 at 12:47 PM

Weather permitting ? about 11am? Probably not going if its tipping down though


David Jenkins - 28/7/07 at 12:58 PM

Pub won't be open until 12:00... I might be there a bit closer to 11:45!

Again, if it is raining, very likely to rain, or has been peeing down all night and the roads are soaked, then I won't be there!


RazMan - 28/7/07 at 02:13 PM

I'll be there ..... with my roof
12 o'clock sounds good

[Edited on 28-7-07 by RazMan]


Ferg - 28/7/07 at 03:48 PM

Sorry. I have a prior engagement in Little Hallingbury.
Next time....


David Jenkins - 29/7/07 at 02:03 PM

Well, 2 cars made it...

Me and mine, Razman + missus in his...

Nice day for a drive, too...

Maybe next time.



David


rusty nuts - 29/7/07 at 02:42 PM

Sorry I couldn't make it. Started car and alternator warning light was on although it was charging . Looked at the sky and thought it safer not to go . See you next time.


David Jenkins - 29/7/07 at 05:21 PM

No worries - it was a nice day for a drive anyway.

Hope the electrics problem isn't anything important...


rusty nuts - 29/7/07 at 06:08 PM

Suspect it's just the alternator playing up , will try a new one with possibly a heatshield . Should be back on the road tomorrow.


RazMan - 29/7/07 at 09:41 PM

'twas a tad quiet wasn't it - just the two of us and some tumbleweed .........

Ah well there's always next time

[Edited on 29-7-07 by RazMan]


blockhead_rich - 30/7/07 at 07:53 AM

I drove around the car park @ 1 pm but carried on with the drive seeing as no one was there

Let's hope we can get more next time

Rich


David Jenkins - 30/7/07 at 07:56 AM

Must have missed each other by just a few minutes!


rusty nuts - 30/7/07 at 06:15 PM

Now " summer" is here how about organising things a little earlier?


David Jenkins - 30/7/07 at 06:30 PM

"Earlier" as in "earlier in the morning"?

Or "earlier" as in "start arranging the meet earlier"?


RazMan - 30/7/07 at 06:48 PM

Erm ... any earlier and I don't get a pint!


rusty nuts - 30/7/07 at 06:56 PM

Option 2?


David Jenkins - 30/7/07 at 06:58 PM
