Hi all, Chris aka Thunderbox has asked me to help finalise this one for him.
I will be there a bit late (as usual, as I have to take my son to Rugby on Sunday morning and help out with the training). I think Chris said to meet from 12 and eat at 2. I assume that Chris has confirmed the meal arrangements with the pub but I will check j.i.c.

2) Nismo - x1 - confirmed
3) petep & James - x2 - confirmed

"That's 17 confirmed for lunch with 6 "possibles". If those possibles could be conformed or otherwise by Thursday night then I shall ring the Cricketers with final numbers. After that all others are welcome to negotiate with the pub for extra space. All are welcome but in order that those who have signed up get their seats and not to mess the pub about I'll close the booking on Thursday night, hope that's OK?"

I assume all the people on the above list are still up for this rain or shine as it looks to be a wet one for Sunday looking forward to seeing all of you there.

Sorry, missed the original post asking to confirm by Thursday night...but anyway it's me (+1) confirmed with the other 2 arriving by 2pm for lunch, ie: 4 confirmed

Booking confirmed for 20ish, for a 2pm lunch.

good to catch up with everyone and I hope you all made it home safely

Agree, it was nice to meet some new faces (and old of course Mr. Emjay)! Pete, I love the X19!

But my word, when a pub can't organise a pissup in a brewery... I bet they don't invite us back?

(I saw you Chris, trying to see 2.5mpg on the widget!)

Nice to see everyone and thanks to Chris and Ross for sorting the location out, just a shame I don't think any of us will be going back there.

For you BBC F1 viewers, I recommend you watch the highlights. What a race! Who would of thought Max Chilton getting on the podium

Ian, what happened on the slip road? Shame the M5 didn't want to play.

I was reading the sign posts so that I didnt miss the m25 , rematch when leaving brooklands ?

Thanks to all who attended.
Another pub that can't seem to do what they should do well and do an a daily basis! What is going on in the world of hostelries
Anyway, my food was nice, when it arrived.
Sorry I didn't catch up with all there, my usual late arrival put pay to that, but at least I had "12 minutes to spare" as said
Cheers all, see some for the Piazza Italia meet
Regards, Ross.
P.S. I had a great run back through the Surry Hills, I thoroughly recommend a foray, much fun to be had

Good to see some new and old faces. MrC just seems to get younger - must be a picture in an attic somewhere getting a hammering. DaveG - good to meet the whole gang. Also good to see other ladies: Anita, Debi, Alexis etc

Thanks Mark, it was nice to bring the Coupe along to a meet, after it being off the road since Xmas 2011, and nice to meet some new (to me) faces. I did take some pics, I'll try to put them up later (sorry, Ross, didn't get any of the Forester )

I'll let you off Dave

1) late arrival
2) It's a Subaru!

Heh. Mine in 'desert storm' camo!

Won't look like that in a week; it's in for the respray in the morning.
