OOOH, PS, THERE AREN'T ANY PROPER SIGNS ON THE PUB AT THE MO AS THEY HAVE BEEN DECORATING IT, JUST LOOK FOR A WHITE PUB STOOD ON ITS OWN WITH A
BIG CAR PARK TO THE LEFT, TABLES OUT AT THE FRONT, RIGHT BY THE SIDE OF THE A47, ON THE RHS IF YOU ARE GOING TOWARDS LEICESTER. THE SIGNS THAT ARE ON
THE PUB SAY BUSINESS AS USUAL!

Don't know I'm afraid, but there are a few tables outside so i can't see them objecting to that and I'd rather sit outside
anyway!

I'll try and remember to collect some stones on the way past Croft.
Perhaps - Nick and Gaz can help out too 
.....some pointy ones, a couple of flats, and a packet of gravel?

Is this still happening tonight? Anyone feel like giving me a lift? I'll bring my tintop otherwise.
I am in Hinckley near Asda if anyone local is feeling charitable.

I can give you a lift if you want, i'm coming from Barwell, and should be on my tod!
Give me a call after 6 and we'll sort it out.
PS you'll need some good sunglasses or pref goggles or helmet as I have no screen on the car, I use moto-x goggles

Hey, thanks a lot NS Dev I really appreciate the offer but I told my better half about going and she wants to come along so will be driving the tin
top.
BTW You might want to remove your number from the post above.

Yea suppose I should!!
No probs, actaully maybe just as well, just got home, and had a call from work that my development machine has fouled up in the hands of numpties, so
not sure what time I will be back!!!
Should be able to make it, but may be late, not sure!
Annoying as I'd just said I would give Flakmonkey a lift over, and the call from work came in while I was on the phone to him!!! 
anyway, should be there later, but can't give lifts now unless they are between coalville and the pub at some undetermined time!!

Not to worry Nat. Next time around (in a fortnight) my exams will all be over, so it'll be a celebration for me at least
Hope you managed to get it sorted reasonably swiftly.
Good luck tomorrow, sounds like you are going to be having a long day.

Not sure exactly who I met and who I didn't but I really enjoyed seeing all your cars and everyone was friendly. Hope the meetings continue
until I get my car finished.

Well it happened and it was a great start!
Nice to see some made the effort to travel a way to get here, shame they did'nt all quite make it
I only took 3 pics as the carpark was a bit full of regular diners and drinkers, but here's 1 of them just to prove it happened.
Nice to meet some new faces, I look forward to seeing you all again and some more in a fortnight, or was it a month ? Well done Nat for doing the
first post and getting it off the ground. Cheers all see you soon, Col (Reman)

Was a great meet up last night, great to put faces to some names!!!
Nice turnout, you're never sure how many (if any) will turn out for these things and it was great to see a nice collection.
Same again on the 6th June
Sorry Catpuss that my car wasn't healthy or I would have given a ride out etc. The no.4 runner on my exhaust manifold decided to part company
about 100yds from the pub, and driving was a bit noisy then!!
Will have it welded tonight and be back up to speed again!!
Great to see you all, see you on the 6th!!!!
Cheers
Nat

Amusing bit was that the Tiger chap on the tow truck got them to swing through the pub car park on the way home, and it turned out the recovery driver
was a chap I used to work with lol

Ahhh, thought I caught Paul up a bit quickly considering how long before me that he left and that I was not going that quick due to the knacked
exhaust!! I was behind him in Kirkby mallory!

It was a good night, if a bit brief for me. Next time I'll either come in the tip top or cycle up to get the exersize. Its only about 6 miles
from home so not too bad. Just a bit over walking distance for a mid week thing
It was amusing meeting Ben and recalling those hazy days down Sector 5.
