Do you guys in East London and Essex want to meet for a beer and chew the fat in the near future? If so let me know on secure message etc. In response to the moan about Avatars, Its not my fault my wipers have packed up, they must be off an old 360 GLT I once had.

I think we discussed this at the last Essex meet - could we make it Stanstead area - makes it a doable trip for a lot more people. If so then count me in.

I aint coming if none of the locals can be bothered to show up? Not sure if this is a threat or a relief?

Ok, the 9th of October it is, in a pub with a decent carpark near Stanstead Airport. Being democratic, if anybody knows of a suitable venue please PM me with location opening times, food supply etc. and I will add to list for consideration. I would like to get this arranged by end of next week. Remember, getting up off your a--- takes an effort! Cheers. :ready2go:

When you all have permission to take a drive out please PM confirmation and I will disclose venue etc. If not enough of you guys can make it, then I guess just me and Gazza can meet for a beer. :rally_dri

Would be up for a meet (if my suspension holds together that long), dont mind where and the dates fine, if a venue has not yet been sorted can I suggest the Half Way house on the A127, its a good venue for car / bike clubs, big car park, and is only 25 mins from Stanstead.

Only a suggestion......

Due to demand this is web link for venue, pub opens at 12.00pm so 1.00pm sounds a good time to meet. Will contact landlord just in case.www.pub-explorer.com/essex/pub/swanhotelthaxted.htm
