What time do we have to be there for?

They are asking us to arrive between 10:00 and 10:30 So I suggest we meet outside the gates for 10 o'clock.

I wonder how many other clubs will be meeting just outside the gates at ten o'clock?

Google indicates there's a Tesco's in Stafford, or something similar?

I don't mind, whatever you guys wana do?

If I remember correctly there is a fair bit of country road leading upto the entrance so shouldn't be a problem if we do wana meet near by.

Not going to be able to make this now guys sorry, I have to cover a shift at work

I'm happy to meet somewhere - Tesco Stafford sounds Fine - so suggest a time and post code and I'll be there.

There's a big Tesco here: https://goo.gl/maps/C7GAmXYmJwP2 (never been to it but it has a superstore and petrol) which is about five miles away.

I'll need to get some milk for the coffee so I'll be there around half past nine and will leave for the venue at 0945.

Link's not working for me Neil.

Do you have the postcode please?

It's ST16 2HE Pete.
About 4 miles from my house but I'm away this weekend

Thanks Darren.

Bring an umbrella, forecast is rain

Not according to the met office, sunny spells in the morning clouding over in the afternoon but no rain.......Hopefully Michael Fish has nothing to do with the forecast.

Saturdays not looking good though, how will I wax my car if it's raining?

I'm getting used to getting wet at car shows as we had biblical showers last weekend at Viva, didn't spoil the mood though

Hi - I hope to meet at Tescos - ST16 2HE - 09:30 and lets hope for Dry weather...!! But please carry on to the show if it gets to 09:45 and we'll meet you guys there. Kieran

How did your day go, Peeps?

Got any pics, especially of Mango in Joe's LE (what a pampered pooch)?!

That's the only one I took I'm afraid. Was a nice day, weather was fine till about 2pm then started raining

Should be some more photos coming at some point.

Everybody made it back in one piece?

Surprisingly good show and some interesting metal there (even though, like us, it did a vanishing act en mass when it started raining).

A surprising amount of interest in the coupes - by chance we had 16NA and VT, and 20NA and VT, so something for everyone - and one or two folk seriously interested in purchasing one.

Most obscure car there, after us of course, was a Gordon Keeble.

I had to feel a bit sorry for PeteP, though; the organisers put us next to the X1/9 owners' club, so he didn't know where to stand!

I enjoyed the day out great to see people again from both clubs. I used up over 10% of my annual miles in 1 day; a 350 mile round trip.

One of the folk seriously interested in buying a coupe was Mike, the former editor of the X1/9 clubs magazine.
He had a coupe years ago and reckons it was the best car he ever had, could be a 20V NA in his future.

The weather got as bit exciting on the M6 and M42 with some really heavy rain and standing water everywhere. I'm glad I put on new blades yesterday.

It was a touch wet on the way back. Though I think not as bad as on the way up on Saturday evening.

Sorry I missed this one guys..... Mrs Nello is just recovering from the big 'C' currently so I'm never sure how things are going to be from week to week..........

Priorities Nello - best wishes to Mrs N.
