The weather forecast isn't very good at all.

Rain coming in mid-late morning, quite heavy by around 13:00 and lashing down by late afternoon.

I can't see many people being around in the afternoon.

See you all at 07:30-ish.

It's a charity event, many people are already there, I have just driven past on my way back and seen them. The event is always well attended.


Out of common courtesy if you are not going to come then let me know.

Lunch packed and car clean, well clean enough anyway considering it will be bogging by the time we get there but what the hell. I know the weather isnt great but a spot of rain hasnt spoilt the car shows I have been to in the past and i think we will be ok until at least midday.

Can anyone confirm i have the right Dragonfly in my head just off the A48 back from M4 J28?

Ummm, sorry Ian.

I know you haven't quoted me but your post is directly under mine.
I'm a defo, even to the extent that I might have to fill up with V-Power at Crumlin if Tesco (Momentum) Abertillery doesn't open until 08:00.

STILL see you tomorrow gents (and gentesses).

Well the sun's got its hat on with a nice sunrise.

Er... due mainly to the amount of cloud that's swamping the sky.

We'll have a few good hours, and it will be only rain after all.

I have to say what a great time I had today.

Great company and the few hours before the rain came was a great way to pass a bit of time on a Sunday.

Thanks to Ian for organising this, and to the organisers for a very well organised event.

Thanks again to everyone.

Ian thank you so much for organising this as always perfect and even the weather didn't dampen the spirits. Lovely spot next to the pond spot on. Had a really good day I love chatting to you all and iv missed it thinking of getting another scoob which will be my 5th if I do. Good to meet some faces iv never met and the old ones I have met thank you to simb for the very luxurious drive there and home that's a great car but well out of my price range and loving lees jag and lees white scoob we have the same taste in cars right Back to when we had Orion gears can't believe we did the same mods and all. Great day loved it thanks gents and as for the cakes yuuummmmm they were amazing perfect sponge And fresh cream heaven. Thanks ladies and gents

Many thanks for another warm welcome again today and nice to put some more faces to names on here. Nice to catch up with Richard K after so long, I make it around 26 years?? Thanks to Ian for inviting me along on the first meet we attended and sorting out everyone's passes for today

It was great the rain held off long enough for everyone to have a good look around and when it did come the gazebo was a god send. Glad you all enjoyed the cakes they seemed to go down a storm.
