    Oxford Meet Aug 26th

    A few members have said they would be able to get to a meet if organised in the Oxford area, now maybe I'm being a bit optimistic, but looking at the map it seems that Oxford is pretty central to quite a few areas, certainly within an hour/hour and a half of Birmingham/Midlands, Portsmouth/Poole London/Essex and Northampton, and hopefully we can get quite a few cars to attend.
    Now I don't really know the Oxford area that well, I know they don't have a 'Fayre & Square' pub as thats where we tend to meet up, so does anyone have any suggestions at to a suitable meeting place ?
    This is purely going out as a 'feeler' to see how many members would be interested, a list can be started nearer the time.

    Looks good Rob, as I say I don't really know the area, on 'Street View' car park looks a fair size though.

    Yeah I'm up for a meet somewhere in oxford, sturdys castle allow the oxfordshire avo chaps to hold a meet there each month so could be worth a punt, the car park isn't that big though. There is plenty of large car parks around that are usually half empty so more than enough room for 30 odd volvo's if needed.
    95 854 T5 auto, Volvo strut brace, big blue cone filter and 18" BBS Tritons. lots more to come!

    Looks like we have a few to choose from, like to think we could get close to 30 odd cars !

    30 odd cars would be quite a sight, not to mention the sound! Not many nice roads in oxfordshire which is disappointing.

    Looks like quite a few interested, one thing to note, I have been told it's the 'Bank Holiday' weekend, though other halves & kids always welcome.
    Might as well start a provisional list then lol, feel free to add/remove/confirm your name.
