Ok Guys and gals, Meet sunday 23rd April at thetford gravel park 2.00pm then on to pub to chat about what to do and organise over the coming spring/summer months. The weather should be getting better and Mandy has done an article for the club magazine which should hopefully be in the next issue. Lets hope for a good turnout this month.

Will be good to see you down there Kevin. This is finally starting to look promising after 2 no shows, but then the weather is now getting better. Hopefully we can get some events organised for the spring and summer months. Paul ------------- 95 E34 530i V8 Auto Maldives Blue |

Hi Paul
Any chance you (or anyone else on here)have some info on all the Pubs in the area of the meet up (I only know of the Chase) - so that i can try and get us an area sectioned off, so we can all stay together this time, rather than getting split up..!!!
Thanks

I suggest The Bridge, its a nice pub with a fair sized car park, used to use it when skiving off work!!! ------------- Previous: BMW E34 525i SE (2.7 ETA Conversion w/Schrick Cam) BMW E34 530i V8 Touring Current: Alfa Romeo 156 1.8 TwinSpark |

Is the bridge a bit small to get us all in, if we get a good turnout! May be a better bet to hijack the ark as that has a big car park and quite a few benches outside if the weather is nice. Paul ------------- 95 E34 530i V8 Auto Maldives Blue |

Fair enough! Just a suggestion. The Ark sounds good. ------------- Previous: BMW E34 525i SE (2.7 ETA Conversion w/Schrick Cam) BMW E34 530i V8 Touring Current: Alfa Romeo 156 1.8 TwinSpark |

Dear All, and especially Paul,
Unfortunately I have not done anything about arranging a Pub for us to meet in, as my husbands Mum has been taken seriously ill, and we have spent all our time in the hospital with her.
This also means that we will not be able to make the meet.
Paul, please could I ask you to organise something on this occasion, and we hope to be able to make the next one(subject to things being sorted at home) and we could maybe try for the barbeque option.
Apologies to all who were relying on me, but hopefuly you all understand.
Thanks & have a GREAT meeting.

Nice to meet you all folks - look forward to the next meet - thanks for your
kind comments about the e12 M535i. I'll try and drag more out next time-there's a few in my area who would be into the next meet I'm sure. Would be nice to get a full set 2002, e21, e30.......etc I think I've fallen for the e9, great to see on the road! Keep up the good work for the region All the best Mcdaddy |
