Who is up for another North Essex meet then?
Ok folks, thought I'd start this one off rather than leaving it to David!
Does anyone fancy meeting up soon - perhaps for a little jaunt and a coffee / breakfast? My suggestion is for an early Saturday or Sunday morning,
now that the evenings are drawing in.

Yep
I'm up for it.
Time and place and I'll be there.
I've been trying to think of a venue for something along these lines myself.
So far drawn a blank.
Any ideas Rich?

I am going to a Tiger race meeting on the 9th Sept (week on Sat) if anyone fancies it??
Good blast out and always better with a purpose. Again, will depend on weather.

Also, should have mentioned there is a Tiger meet tonight at North Fambridge (near Maldon) if anyone fancies it.
Let me know if you do and I can give you address details etc.

Usual apathy then.....
I don't think people around our way like driving their cars....
I think they must just go into the garage and admire them from time to time.....

I've SORN'ed the Libra due to a very busy schedule and lack of MOT Certificate.

Is anyone free next weekend (Sat or Sunday morning) but obviously subject to the weather being OK too? How about a drive to Mersea, Shotley or
similar via the back roads - I don't fancy the A12 that's for sure as I spend too much of my time on it already?
We need to find a greasy spoon that's good for a mid morning breakfast or coffee. Anyone else got any ideas as to a venu where we can meet up
at?
Rich
I know a couple of other's who are up for it subject to date, etc.
Gt Bently is work a blat to on a Wednesday, (along with the Bikers). There was a lovely V8 Dax Rush there this week.

Shotley's good for me... but define "next weekend"! Do you mean 'tomorrow or Sunday' or 7 days further on!

I spoke to Rich on the phone and the suggestion was the w-end of 9th 10th I believe.
I'm up for either Shotly or Mersea or to throw another into the pot, how about Heybridge basin? The Ship or the other pub that I can never
remember the name of.
Sunday is generally best for me but I could make either I guess.

I'd love to join you all, but assuming I pass my SVA on Friday 8th, It will be another week before I'm on the road.

The morning of Sunday 10th would suit us best - Sats are usually v busy.
Thinking about Shotley - the views are good, and the road is nice, but there are stupid speed limits almost all the way along (and wrinklies who stick
to them).

So it's next Sunday the 10th then subject to the following;
a) It ain't raining (call me soft if you like)
b) My fuses decide not to blow or I can track down the fault before hand (no luck so far though)
c) Can't think of another reason at present!
Destination =
1) Shotly
2) Mersea
3) Maldon / Heybridge
Vote please for your favourite. Where are we teeing off from? I can do great coffee if needed.
Rich
Note been to Maldon lately so that get's my vote!

Maldon would be good - but every time I've been there it's been a real pain to park anywhere other than the pay-and-display on the high
street.

I live in Maldon, there are a few good pubs around - the ferryboat inn at North Fambridge (about 10-mins further on), Wickham Bishops, Heybridge Basin
(not sure on the parking though) etc etc.
I am at Brands on the Saturday if anyone fancies it and then should be around on Sunday as well - weather permitting.

That's one big advantage of Shotley - there's a HUGE free car park down by the marina.

Damn I will be up at Donnington
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

I might actually be able to make this one ! (Weather permitting). My preference would be Maldon as it's closer but could also do Mersea - as
long as there are a few petrol stations along the way!

Sorry about this guys but after all I've said I now find that I can't make Sunday
Thats the bad news. (well for me at least)
The good news is, the reason I cant make it is that I'm off to Rome for 4 nights.
