didnt really think about breaking away from anything but aberthaw is to far for me the lads that i have been speaking to are from newport aberdare and ponty so somewhere central to that would be good and anyone is welcome.
we still havent arranged a meeting point or time or date yet as it was only last night that we were talking about it but keep your eyes on the thread im sure we will arrange something soon to suit us all.
If you have any ideas or preferances lets us know

Default M4 has good access

I used to go to a car club at the Ty Nant pub in Radyr, just over the road from Pugh's garden centre.
This had good access to both the A470 and the M4.
IMHO to get ppl from Newport and Swansea you need to be near the M4.
To be near the A470 is a bonus too.

PS any jobs for 'leccies at Aberthaw?

I'm in Aberaman, so not that far from you. I've probably seen you about and you more than likely will recognise me as I used to work in Town, and have always had out of the ordinary motors.

Yep, born n bred in Swansea You'd never guess my nationality though - CYMRU number plates, small dragon on dashboard, large dragon on rear shelf, Welsh flag clipped to rear window when we're playing international rugby. Oh yes, I also wear my Grand Slam rugby shirt or WRU 125th anniversary shirt at the weekend My parents think I'm mad. The missus insists on having an England flag on her side of the car whenever I put the Welsh one up lol.

Sadly, you're a bit too far away for me to make any meetings - I'm in South Yorkshire these days.
