OK peeps - I said I would get something organised after Easter so this is to get it kick-started. Do you want another meet in Scotland (doesn't necessarily have to be too far north) or maybe northern England? Maybe some clever sod could get a poll going? huh.gif drinks.gif

I like the far north but as the smoking ban will finally be in place in Englandshire by that time we could raid over the Border..................

The Applecross weekend is 9/10 June. Be there or be... er...not there. For September I'm not that bothered, I can go to the far north almost any weekend. Actually I can go to N England almost any weekend. Wibble wibble wibble.

The only reason you "break doon" is to get a freebie 500 miles home and to chat up the recovery driver rolleyes.gif
