If Mark has an MX5 we'll come in that, otherwise it's the Yaris. :(

Doesn't matter what you turn up in, it's the turning up that counts :thumleft:


true Martin, very true :D

A very big +1 to this, if you only make one meet this year the Blackpool lights run is one of the best!

That means dogs in the beer garden are allowed. So we can bring Indy if the weather is good.

I'll find a dog friendly pub for November! :)

Really sorry, literally just got in. We looked to come straight to the pub but you guys would already be there and it's going to take us 50 mins to get there and then we have to drive back as well later which makes it a lot of driving!

Gutted, but had to work late tonight, so no pub food for me. :(
