Post by: Steve Pyro on May 06, 2005, 11:06:02 am

We haven't had a collective beverage for a while - does anyone have any preferred day / dates?

Post by: jpchenet on May 06, 2005, 12:27:05 pm
Well I guess it would need to be w/c 16th or w/c 23rd.

After that it's the bank holiday weekend and then the test weekend. Before that it's Silverstone.

How about Friday 20th?? Usual Venue??

Hey guys,

I've been chatting to Mark about taking up one of his free places in his car/group and he pointed me in the direction of the thread. I am free friday night so ill pop up and introduce myself to you all.

Cant get there until 7pm but im sure that is fine.

I look forward to meeting you all! Not sure about the red carnation and times idea tho  ;D.

Post by: smokie on May 17, 2005, 09:20:52 am
London - what a drag...!!!

I'll have to see - looks like I might be out in Essex on Friday so I could either scoot in on the way past (but I'm not sure I can afford the parking!!) or get back here and jump on the train.



Title: Re:Pre-LM London 'Planning Meeting' anyone ??
Post by: jpchenet on May 17, 2005, 09:37:47 am
You know it makes sense Geoff, as does dropping off the car and training it so you can have a drink!

BTW, after missing the train home on the last two CA get togethers (Reading and London)  ::) I MUST get to Waterloo on time for a sensible train on Friday. Can someone please ensure I leave the pub by 11.15pm and head straight for Waterloo!!

I must have gone down the wrong aisle again because I didnt' see any adults, just single mums pushing their fake Burberry pushchairs along with one hand while shoplifting with the other!

Funnily enough I was in Waitrose at the weekend and there was an announcement on the tannoy. It asked the owner of a white XR3i cabriolet if he could please move his car to ASDA where it belongs.  ;D

Smoking Man, I'm getting the train in from Colchester - alternatives for you would be anywhere along the Liverpool Street line, or park up on the end of the Central Line (Newbury Park, Epping, Woodford etc) and take the tube.

I used to live at Billericay and my schooling was in Woodford so I know the routes. And what you propose isn't a bad idea!

But then I have to get home again!

Judging from this morning, if you want to get home tonight, I'd start now.

What is the congestion charge being spent on?


Title: Re:Pre-LM London 'Planning Meeting' anyone ??
Post by: chris78cpr on May 19, 2005, 04:38:21 pm
My thoughts exactly, i was on the way home from London on saturday and it took me around 2 hours to go from Oxford Circus to East Croydon which is just ridiculous! Bloody trains/buses/tubes!

Anyway, I was planning to arrive between 6 & 6:30 and probably go around 7:30, as:
a) the car is in the station car park
b) I've got to fit the NOZ bottle onto the goped


Title: Re:Pre-LM London 'Planning Meeting' anyone ??
Post by: Chris (Liverpool Boys) on May 19, 2005, 04:54:56 pm
Compared to what we got up north it is a very good system but I can understand how annoying it must be for you if you have to use it everyday.

Have spent my fair share of time on the underground at rush hour it is something to behold.

No sign of a CA polo shirt

Was the polo shirt rather fetchingly tied at the waist?  

Now that would be unmissable and I believe it is how they are meant to be worn this season!
