I should be there as normal, Gary with the new 320 will probably pop over from York and our Chris says he will only come if you pursuade Nigel to come this time as he wants to buy some engine bits from him.
See if you can rattle the Wakefield lot.. give Pete W. a bell and I will call John H. to see if he is coming. Nick. |

I'm attracted by the promise of lovely beer, but that means I'll need a driver. Are we allowed to brings wives? Hopefully, I'll be able to make it on 25th. I've only been a BMWCC member for a couple of months, and this will be my first meeting. In fact, this is my first posting on this forum (I'm 100GRA from the zroadster.net forum). Whose beer is it at the Barnes Wallace?

The pubs not tied.. usually several guests on offer.
The food is good enough to skip your tea for as well! Wherabouts you coming from? Nick |

Hopefully (fingers crossed I'm not working) I might be able to make it..
Only prob is I can't have a brew since I'm driving - wish you hadn't mentioned it's a free house with lots of guest beers.. 
Food sounds tempting tho'.

Rhys, BW is at a railway station, but don't know if there's a suitable train to/from York in the evening. Nice run down some great roads too. Portions are more than 'man sized'! In fact, there's another guy, Nicks mate who lives York way, might be a good chance to car share |

I think I'll find it - might take a while but I'll get there. I'm right on the bypass (just outside of York) so getting upto the A19 is easy enough.
If I can make it, I could be bringing Ally up as well (as she keeps hinting)

I'm definitely going to be there barring accidents (my first attendance at any BMW meeting), but with a change of plan. Reference my previous post about bringing the wife as my driver, it turns out she can't make it so I've booked in for the night at the Wellington Inn in Howden so that I can still have a drink! I can leave my car at the hotel, and after a few pints a mile-plus walk back will do me no end of good (OK, if it's persisting down I might get a taxi). It'll be an early start on Wednesday and straight back to the office. By the way, Rhys, I looked into the possibility of getting a train but it seems the last one out of Howden (certainly to Sheffield and to York, which is where you say your are) is at 7.36pm. The Barnes Wallis is dead easy to get to by road (as it happens, I know exactly where it is). From York direction, take the A19 south to the A163, left on the A163 and just after Bubwith turn right on the B1228 to the BW at the level crossing. Or if you prefer a cross country route rather than the A19, the B1228 goes all the way from Grimston via Elvington and Bubwith to Howden. StuB - are you one and the same as "stu" on the zroaster forum?

Is that code for something Nick? Graham, yes it's me on ZRoadster.net. I can give you a lift from and to the 'Welly' if you want as it's on my way to the pub. A few more phone calls and we should have another good turnout. Cheers Stu Edited by StuB |

Just got home from meeting everyone, thanks to Rhys for taking me and many thanks to Stu, Nick, Howard and everyone for making me feel most welcome. It was lovely to meet you all at last and hope it won't be the last time either.
Thanks for a great evening

Yes it was not bad.. well done Stu.
You only need a cosy fire, a good pint and a full belly to keep me coming back. See you all next month. Nick |

Hi all, great to meet you all - caught a few names - Nick, Stu - Howard (who recognised me this time
 ), will get to know more next time (I'm usless at remembering names) You'll have to let me know where you were sitting.
Was a bit warm in there. Nice beer and the food is filling (remind me not to order pizza  )
Next time I'll take a pic so I know who's who, and hopefully the weather will be a bit better.

Really good night, thanks to all and StuB for bringing it all together. Oh and I think a bit warm was an understatement from where i was sitting |

Thanks all. It was a good turnout and really nice to see so many new faces. Perhaps musical chairs would help us all mix a bit better as I always seem to get stuck in the corner! It was really warm, in fact so warm Sylvia thought about taking her fleece off. If anyone has any ideas to make it better for future meetings, I'm always happy to hear about it. Cheers |
