Volvo United Meet 17th September

[foggyjames]

That certainly is Ivor.

I must confess to a somewhat non-specific interest in railways. My latest focus has been the efforts to rebuild the Lynton & Barnstaple railway in north Devon.

cheers

Volvo drivers and train enthusiasts??? What a sad bunch!

Before the stones get thrown, I've fired a Hall, copper dome et al driven a pannier (more copper domes!!!), and shunted a black five. Maybe... if time allows, I might get involved with the King restoration at Didcot when circumstances change in Oct, which a mates been trying to talk me into for a while. Also do a fair amount of playing on a local miniature railway, my weekend/holiday job was to drive/run the 10 1/4" in my local park.

As to point in hand, looks like I won't be around in September, going to be taking a city rover home to India, see you at the next meet!

I now have my diary up to date and I've finally got around to doing the directions on the map on-line. It's a couple of hours drive from Swindon up the M5 and M6.

26 people!this is insane.

i still think we need to find somewhere better, like a brewser fayre or something. there is a hungry horse nearish, but the carpark aint very big. or should we keep it to festival park?

[740Estate]

We can always just descend on somewhere when the space runs out.

26 so far, brill turn out if it happens!

[ramz]

yea, theres a few brewsers fayre around there, and a few other pubs i no off, just not many big carparks that are free, other than the uni, that will prolly still be closed then.

we could always go to sainsburys in the middle of stoke,huge carpark there, you have to pay, a pound for an 3 hours, is a weatherspoons there. hrmm...and kind of easy to get to. would be fun to have a fleet of volvos behind me as we drive to that sainsburys. now that would be sight to see!

[CTCNetwork]

HI,

Think of the stuff we could raid from sainsburys with all those cars..
Have our own Barbie!!

May be worth gathering before deciding where to move onto after.. ?

Des. . .

[ramz]

yea, maybe an idea.

just to meet at fesitval park and then go off somewhere, still would be awesome driving through stoke with a procession of volvos, 26 in all!

i wonder if anyone would notice, i would, 26 cars all of the same make! there is a morrisons on festival park...
