Northampton
I notice there is a few of us round the northants area and was curious as to if there is a regular meet or not.

At the moment there isn't a meet in the Northampton area but feel there should be! I tried to get a group together about 2-3 years ago but was
met with very little response apart from Paulf. A chap in the last Locost mag (sorry haven't got your name with me) brought up the subject and
when I rang him a few days later I was the only response. Is every Locost builder around Northampton a recluse? Come on it must be good to get
together and exchange ideas, tools, parts and enthusiasm etc. All we need to do is decide on a meeting place and time.

There must be a good few builders in the northants area and a local meet would be handy.My problem is due to working shifts i usually find that no
matter when I want to go anywhere I am working.I usually go to the midlands meet at Ansty but the last couple have clashed with my working days.
If anyone fancys meeting for a pint then lets organise a meeting in the next couple of weeks.Maybe it would be worth putting a note in the next
Mag.

OOW, OOOW
Never usually look in the Clubs posts because there isn't a Northants meet.
My wife says that for the purposes of this thread I am a recluse, but if you arrange anything I'll see if I can sneak out to it.
I only like cheddar though. None of that Camembert muck thankyou.
Once again I thank you.
And if any of you Northants boys are auto electricians, that'll be great 'cause I'm sh*t at wiring.
Just joking

OK, there seems to be a bit of interest in a meeting so the question is where and when.
The first place that came to mind was the Billing Mill pub. This is very close to Billing Aquadrome. I should think most people who live in Northants
and the surrounding counties know where that is. It's well signposted from all directions and is easy to get to.
How about the first Wednesday in the month?
If you have any other suggestions about a meeting place or the day of the week please put them on here.

The Midlands group meets on the first wednesday of each month , as I mentioned previously i am often cant make it due to work. I would prefer the
second or third wednesday or another day as i would then stand a chance of making one or the other.
Does anyone fancy meeting for a pint this weekend?

Sorry about that Paul. Anybody got any objections to the second Wednesday in the month?
I'm up for a pint, is anybody else interested? I've got some technical details I need to discuss.

If you haven't got the inlaws round or you've finished the DIY how about meeting on Bank holiday Monday at the Billing Mill for a pint at
Midday. I'll be there, look out for my maroon Sierra J539 REW. I'll be wearing my "Old Git" Tshirt, my family says it really
suits me.

Sorry Viper, didn't check the web site before I went to the Billing Mill. I've just got back, nobody else turned up. Anyway by 1.30m the
place was heaving hardly a parking place to be found. A bank holiday is probably not the best day to meet. Anyway the second Wednesday in the month
is the the 9th, so please come along everybody. See you at 8pm. That should allow people to get home, get fed and out again. My mobile number is
07791287253.

Cheers Steve.
It's not true what they say about you. any one bringing the sweetcorn?
I may have to get a taxi over and have the driver wait for me! Or I might come over over in the O-me-god. Someone call me a cab.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.
