    RR day at AET Wakefield, November. Who's up for it?

    I've decided to go for a RR day at AET Wakefield in November as last year, in conjunction with other forums. Who's up for it please, and what day's suit?

    Obviously this isn't central, so I thought splitting them Northern/Southern may be best, if someone would like to take the Southern one on please?

    Looks like it mate. As I said to Mark when he first started trying to arrange it, it's too hard to arrange one for everyone, as they all want different places. Maybe try for another one at Power Engineering, but then others want to go to the Gosport one.

    You can never keep everybody happy all of the time.

    Maybe I should buy a portable RR and do a door step service !

    It has Graham, after I sussed out that the AET day is being talked about within the wider Volvo circle. Makes sense to have a Northern day there, and let you Southerners sort your own day.

    If Nosh does his catering again, then the drinks and food help keep us all going as well. No pressure there Nosh............

    Exactly, a central one to suit all is difficult. I was on the verge of running a poll but didn't get that far.

    I did warn you lol. Trying to arrange anything like this is a poison chalice I.M.O., some have been done successfully, but that's more luck than judgement.
