Rendezvous

[smokie]

Note the French title - that is because the UK is to be honoured next week by a rare visit from Gilles, our Man About Town in Le Mans. Gilles is over here for a few days, on business I think, and will be staying around the south end of the country.

So....

Ferrari Spider is going to find a hostelry somewhere in the Alton/Winchester/Basingstoke/Goodwood general area which can serve us with some liquid and solid sustenance, this Tuesday evening. Probably 7:30 - 8 ish, details to follow from FS on this thread tomorrow.

I am up for it, JPC will be (if he can find a chaffeur - he has w*nkers wrist or something and can't drive), but ALL CAers would be welcome to come along. I know there are quite a few south of Watford so it would be great to see a few faces, plan some stuff and have a generally good time.

If you are new to CA and haven't yet met anyone, don't let that put you off. I might wear my 2005 CA t shirt (already resplendent with Alan McNish's paw print) and my Aston baseball cap (with some driver signatures) so you can find us, but even if I don't, you will soon recognise Gilles by the beret, stripey t shirt and string of onions round his neck...

Apologies for the short notice, I hope to see lots of you there.

Please add a post here if you might be there, just so FS has an idea of numbers...

NO IT'S STRICTLY FOR LEISURE AND FUN !!!  

 but even if I don't, you will soon recognise Gilles by the beret, stripey t shirt and string of onions round his neck...

AND YOU'LL RECOGNISE ALL CA MEMBERS TO THEIR BEERBELLIES...

Cheers
Ian

[Andy]

If the venue is within an hour travel I'm up to meet you Gilles on Brit turf.

Mr Spider - where are we meeting then???

Hello Andy, ltns. Looking forward to meeting you tomorrer.

[Steve Pyro]

Apologies in advance for my non-appearance.  I will be oop north in Manchester and will be on my best behaviour!

I'm sure you'll all have a falling-over water on my behalf  

[Ferrari Spider]

Smokie, apologies for not putting on the net sooner, my chum JP with the w***ers wrist was supposed to put the contact details on the web page?  will follow up early tomorrow

[jpchenet]

OK. Ferrari Spider is "at a function" this evening so it falls upon me to pass on the meeting location.

Assuming everyone is happy with the location, we will be meeting at "The Fox" in "North Waltham".

Approx 4/5 minutes from Jct 7 of the M3. A nice country pub, in the middle of nowhere with views across fields (depending on when we get there) with excellent food, fine real ales and a good wine list.

Ferrari Spider will collect Gilles and bring him along. As I have w**k*rs wrist of the achilles tendon (smokie???) I will either be collected by Fat Lad and driven there, or get a taxi, or a friendly moderator may like to collect me (and Fat Lad) and drop us back as he'll literally have to go past the door  

Definates so far are Gilles (of course) Ferrari Spider, Smokie, JP Chenet and Fat Lad. Probables are Robbo and Andy. Zarse is a possibility.

Any more for any more???

[Ferrari Spider]

Mark, well done!!!!!!!!!
