Bump! Three weeks to go! Anyone else joining us on the Sunday?
Is anyone free on the Saturday? Seems pretty quiet on that front so far. We can organise a drive, or just a pub trip and camping / hotels...whatever anyone fancies? cheers James

Thanks
Thank you, James, for organising this gathering. We had a very pleasant day even if we didn't come in a 3 - series! As we discussed, it is a pity that events like this are not better supported by the membership at large - but that is their loss, I feel.
There was something for everyone. The cars, of course, vintage busses, train rides (Main Line and model), book stall, bric-a-brac and much more! The weather was glorious (always a bonus) and the cafe's Bacon Baps were superb .... the 'Baconistas' on here missed a treat! Kind regards, John & Linda. |

Good to meet you both, and thank you for coming! Many thanks indeed to all at Ruddington, especially our own Richard Hull for his 'above and beyond' hospitality.
I think, in fairness, my relatively late announcement of this event didn't help the attendance, and I should have phoned and badgered a few of the "maybes" - these are the things you must do! The late announcement was the result of both the original plan having fallen through, and that, for a few months of the year, I had committed the majority of my spare time to a project orientated towards parts supply for 300s. It was all with the best of intentions, but I think it didn't help the attendance level today. Having said that, if everyone had a good time, it was very much worth it...and we will get planning (and announcing) earlier for next year! cheers James

Without kicking the same sore leg, but is that not the same story every year?

As James explained, the announcement was delayed partly because his original plans for the event fell through. I'm sure that he would have been in a position to give more notice had that not been the case. Events such as this do not simply 'happen', they involve a lot of hard work on the part of the person(s) organising them - and sometimes things happen outside of their control, as in this instance! Regards, John. |
