Thanks Stu, a good night for Sarah & I. A few more people than last time we made it, so that was good. Sorry for leaving early but it's around an hours drive home for us and with work in the morning, we just had to go. On the up side, the rain had stopped and the roads were clear all the way back.

It can't have been that warm as Sylv didn't seem too keen on you opening that window!!!

The food was good again, but I'm glad I didn't order a Pizza, I'd have had to have a take away box for that one!

See you all naxt time (Hopefully)

JB

Thanks, Stu, and happy birthday!

Couldn't really fault the Wellington for the price (£35). Nothing special, but a comfortable bed for the night (en suite) and a good breakfast.

Took me exactly an hour to get back here to the office (on the far west side of Sheffield) this morning, which was roughly half the time it took me last night!

Thanks for organising the meeting - it was good to meet you all.

Thanks for the good wishes, apparently we men are as old as the woman (women?) we feel?

It's my 'real' birthday next month too (when I'm off the penicillin!)  if that helps???

John, I still know people in the mob you know - Waddington you say???

Careful Stu, "Women" would mean plural, if Sylv hears you talking like that, you'll not see another Birthday! Did I say Waddington? I meant um, um Brize Norton!

Hello,

I've just bought myself an N-1996 323 coupe. I always like to be part of an owners club... I wonder if it would be ok (as am not a member yet) for us to pop over to Howden on 29th?

Only one thing... "She who must be obeyed" has asked if the conversation will be 100% cars...?

I look forward to meeting you all

Jonathan

(and Debs)

Hi Jon & Debs

At least half of the room is 100% car talk as I'm a self confessed petrol head, but my wife always tries to turn the conversation to other things (quite successfully at times too).

You're welcome to join us and we can show you some of the benefits of being members.

The Barnes Wallace to huge portions at reasonable prices as well as real ales (guest beers always on tap) etc. for the none driver.

Cheers

Stu

The Barnes Wallace is one of those homely sort of pubs with a roaring log fire and a small 'library' made up of piles of books on the window ledges.. now these are mainly aircraft and engineering books as a homage to the namesake of the establishment.. there is however, a dog-eared Mills and Boon in amongst them all.. so there is no need for Debs to get bored.

I have another quiz this month (November) and I also have some prizes, kindly donated by local businesses (still working on some more) for the 'winners' (plural) as it's our last meeting before Christmas.

Some 'stuff' from last month;

  • Lots of interest in the NE AGM, 4th Feb 06 at the Fox & Grapes (tbc) on the A64, 2m west of the A1M. <<edited to say 4th>>
  • Only 1 down so far for the Car Club AGM
  • 3 of us willing to car share and get out into the other parts of the North East (if we're welcome guys?).
  • 4 people already keen to be at the National Show, Gaydon 06.
  • 5 volunteers for the Yorkshire Post Car Show in June (date tbc).
  • 1 interested in Tatton Park show
  • Croft (11th year) 4 of us (including Nick) interested.  Dates tbc.
  • Article submitted for one of the Car Club magazines.

Hope to see you all there on Tuesday.

    After my 'debut' last month, I can't make it tonight, I'm afraid - too busy working. I definitely won't be at the meeting on 27th December (assuming there is one) because it's my daughter's wedding day! So all being well I'll see you on 31st January. Meanwhile, a happy Christmas and a properous New Year to you all.

    Cheers Graham.

    Hope all goes well for you over the festive period.

    No meet planned for the 27th December, so see you in the New Year.

    Stu,

                 Sorry we didn’t make it last night, something came up! I was looking forward to a good meal, a few pints and letting Sarah drive me home. Oh well, see you in the new year.

    Five hardy souls turned up last night for a quiz, three going home with a prize kindly donated by Stratstone Hull. 

    Nick walked away with the first prize, with a stunning display of knowledge of the British Car Industry (no it's not a myth).

    Thanks to all those who managed to turn up.  Hope the weather doesn't keep so many away in 2006.

    See you on the 31 January.

    Stu
