That would be griz's degree in home economics enabling him to fiddle.

My vote goes to "The volvo owners Amateur Hamster Pickling Society" i think if we make it clear to the RSPCA that we only do theoretical bench pickling we should be ok.

To be honest i don't really care what it's called, it was the people involved that made it work, as long as the meets carry on with the same spirit they will be successful.

its defo the people that made it work. But by putting the correct name to the meets can help attract more people, & as we have more successful meets people seeing the name will straight away associate it with the "universal, anyone is welcome" attitude that came tho & made the truck stop meet work so well

I must admit me and some of the others (i won't name names to protect the innocent but they know who they are) are a bit worried about the knowledge bit, would it be possible to have a know nothing sub-section.

Well you don't necessarily have to be knowledgeable about Volvo's - I've only been a Volvo-er for the past 5 months... But I am very knowledgeable about bacon sandwiches
