Hi...
I am hoping to relocate to Birmingham within the next few weeks, so am a "Hell yeah, can't wait"...If i don't, I am usually in Birmingham every other weekend anyway, so will try and make this event.
I'll say I'm a 90& chance of attending...
Yay, get to meet with fellow Volvoer's!

Glad to see interest is picking up! Is everyone happy with the proposed format of the afternoon? I'm open to suggestions but chat/food/bowl is the usual Star City agenda.

i think star city is a great venue, plenty do and eat! if there's enough of us for bowling you could set up volvo model teams? i.e team 850, team 400 and so on.

Doesn't look like we'll quite have enough visitors for that, lol. Perhaps a RWD vs FWD might be interesting...

Bugger...Doesn't look like I can make this one, I'm currently unemployed and lack Go-Go coins, so am afraid, there's no real answer as to whether I can go.
Sorry guys.

(I really do hope I can though)
Tom.

I was thinking of starting at about midday in the car park. What transpires after that will depend laregly on how many people turn up, which at this moment in time doesn't look like breaking any records! It'll be fun nonetheless and it'll be nice to catch up with a few people .
