The final date for the High Wycombe meet is 5th November
I will be on site from 10.00am :y
Venue is.......Hazlemere Community Centre, Rose Avenue, Hazlemere, High Wycombe, Bucks. HP15 7UB Access to the venue is within easy reach of M40....M1....M25....A40....A4.....A404
Premier Inn is 3 miles away.
I would now appreciate postings for definates to attend, so to see if its worth going ahead as we want to know what rolls and food to get. Initial response was encouraging :y
If anyone coming wants their own food heated up, we have two ovens. ;) BBQ available.
Bar (exclusive use) open from 11.00am for beer, etc and soft drinks. Tea and coffee on the go all day.
Once it is known whether anyone with a Tech 2 is attending, I would suggest sending them a pm to 'book' a slot.
Look forward to seeing you there :y
As the previous meet members agreed....super venue

What are the thoughts for food? Is it BYO for the bbq, or are we phoning out for a curry?

As last time...we are doing some rolls, cheese/tom, etc......sausages, plus bring your own if required.
BBQ (gas) will be set up...its under cover if it is wet.....feel free to use. :y
There are a couple of takeaways at the crossroads...don't know opening times.
Some plonker has now booked the back bar for a caberet from 8.00pm, so we will need to be clear by about 7.30pm latest :y

And order a bed for the night, and make a dent in that pile of liquid hops in his utility, before starting on his impressive port collection?
People south of the M3 clearly have a drink problem :P

I blame it on our proximity to the French. Speaking of which, Guffer, we had that bottle of red with Sunday lunch last weekend. Very nice. :-*

blimey if kevin has a drink problem mine must be bigger as i am nearer to france than he is lol :y

Glad to hear you enjoyed it, I was very pleased with it. I wish I had got more but was suspicious as it was BOGOF. But then I need little excuse to drive over to France for the day ::)

I have a brew day coming up if you are interested in learning about real beer, plus I will be doing a brew of a Stella type beer for my Brother to slosh over Christmas.
I might have some drinkable Timothy Taylor Landlord clone by then as well although it may yet be a little green still (bottling tomorrow) I made some more of the Weissbier, but I will keep this one for Christmas ::)
-
Right, Guffer...can I put you in the meet programme as a ..'lecture by Guffer on the merits of home made beer' ;D ;D ;D
This would fit nicely in the slot after Big Al gives us a Shadows rendition on his guitar ( believe me, he is bloody good)
This is looking like a fantastic meet again,,,, :y
Is anyone staying at the Premier Inn Friday night, for the pre meet meal ????? ;)
-
Should Big Al not be able to make it ( I am assured he is pulling out all the stops) I have his CD ;)
Is anybody coming that could do a pressure test on my cooling system, as I am losing water, but can't find any leaks and engine is sweet, etc. Please, no posts as to what it could be, trolled the site so have ideas. We'll sort it on the day :y
-
trying to get there but dont think wifey will be able to get the day off what is it exactley all day event night weekend tents ;D
Its a day event starting from 11.00am till late afternoon or so. :y
there is a pre meet meal too tried to look up this event but not much detail about it :o :o
-
Hiya Paul....
Last meet, Mark and Lisa from Kent plus Big Al and Swmbo from Essex stayed at the Premier Inn, and me and Swmbo went down and had a meal with them...brilliant night, except I had to drive home >:(
Don't know if anyone is staying this time, but Big Al is hoping to. Have heard through grapevine that Mark ( Alarming man) may not be able to make it on Friday, but hope he can make it Saturday

What are you implying?
Apart from last night, I haven't had a drink since Saturday night.
-
Not that I consider myself a Northerner. Quite the opposite. Except when I have to tolerate that stupid, ugly bint on South Today - for her geographic skills, I may as well be in the Artic Circle >:(
-
I'm afraid I won't be able to make this meet. Unfortunately a new indicator relay for the estate, four 17" Elite wheels refurbished and two new tyres for the V6 (and it's looming MOT) and trying to make a start on the boys Christmas Present lists has wiped out my wages until payday on the 15th....
Sorry All, was looking forward to this meet.
-
Shame, buddy, would have been great to see you both again ;)
Never mind....I'll fix some more meets in the New Year :y

Other than Essex Big Al, is anyone from Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk or Cambs planning on attending this meet?
I would really like to call upon the OOF courier service if possible... :y

Have a great day everyone. :y
Cheers
Ian.
-
Sorry Terbert,
just confirming that we can't get there for this meet. Absolutley distraught about not being able to go. :'( :'( :'( :'(
Work has been just a nightmare recently. Constantly being let down by suppliers who don't have a clue on how we work in the real world.
Also missed the recent Essex meet for same reason .
Totally peed off guys , but have a good meet & will do my best to get to next available one :y :y :y
Regards, Al & Sal

Let's not pass judgement 'til tomorrow ::) I suspect a gazebo might be in order... ::)
-
Not quite sure what time I'll get there :-[
Was hoping for around midday, but have just gained a couple of jobs to do first thing, then need to drop them off to Bicester on the way.
Ideally wanted to change the coil pack and that wheel with duff tyre on, as well as wash the car, but thats looking unlikely :(
-
Unfortunately my car is still at the menders so I'll not be able to make this I'm afraid - really sorry Terbert :'(.
Have a great day everyone. :y
Cheers
Ian.
Hope things get sorted for you. I think Kevin Wood was hoping you would clay the rest of his car ::)
-
Think there are two Gazebo's in the cupboard....... :y
Entwood....by 'eck, you are on the ball ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Sorry guys, I have had something crop up and I won't be able to make it. Have a fun day :y

I reckon Chris might be an expert on this now - he could demonstrate on Kevin's other wing :P
-
Aiming for about 1pm - got an appointment in Bicester at noon, and I reckon its about 45m from there, depending on Aylesbury traffic.
-
Another great meet held by terbert thanks tony and Christine :y
Also big thanks too kevin wood for my extraction lol :y
-
Big big thanks to:
- Tony and Christine for taking the time to look after us all so well - another top meet :y.
- The Boy, Chris and Kevin for their labours in diagnosing my coolant leak and to Taxi Al for the tools
(Booked in with Daz this Friday :y)
Nice to meet up again and see the "usual" suspects!
And for the future to anyone who might be in two minds about attending, please do as we are very fortunate to have access to this facility.

Your welcome Radar. :y
Good meet this. Very relaxed and chatty atmosphere. Loads of room, and very well looked after by our hosts. :-*
:y
-
Another successful Bucks meet :D
Thanks to everyone who turned up to make it an enjoyable day, and thanks to Terbert and Mrs Terbert for arranging.
Roll on the next one
-
add my thanks to the hosts, who provided a most excellent venue and whose hospitality is second to none , fabulous people, great venue, what more can one hope for....
(well, not forgetting my car pass might have helped, and having gone home and got it, a CID that works would be icing on the cake, but hey.... one can't have everything.... )
roll on the next one, if at all humanly possible i'll be there......
-
Did anyone take a camera?

Did anyone take a camera?
Mine's sitting by the front door, where it's been all day. >:(
Terbert was lurking with a camera, IIRC.
Many thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Terbert for another great meet. :y
-
Also big thanks too kevin wood for my extraction lol :y
The finesse with which I completed that job surprised me too. I'm even considering a career in dentistry. ;D
Can I borrow those mole wrenches to practise? :D
-
I wish we could have made this one :( We have guests and even if we didn't, there is absolutely no way on Earth that SWMBO is fit enough for a long journey and socialising so soon after surgery :'(
Perhaps next time ;)
Well done, sounds like another great Bucks meet :y
-
Did anyone take a camera?
Yes TB, I took piccies....I am in the process of charging the camera now, so when done will upload.
Hope the Curry went well......especially for Josh !!!! :y

Paul, we all totally respect your ( and swmbo's) situation. Would have been silly to come all that way. Have no fear, I will set up more meets in the New Year :y

With the number of numpties around, I'm sure you'll be well away :y Turns out I missed nothing by not working this weekend :-\
At least as your own boss the descision of when to work is (in theory) yours. :y

Yes and no... It's a 24/7, nationwide business (I have bought a franchise) so I am responsible for arranging cover ;)
-
Could you arrange an area swap? Say a weekend on call in another area, in exchange for a weekend on call in a B+B in Bury StEdmunds? :-\
Seriously though, I do sympathise with the time/work enigma. My breaks tend to be governed by the bank, so invariably I end up at work, Newent being a case in point. :-\
