I'M BACK. !!!!!!!

What was that "Have you been away?"

.......and no Kevin, I haven't been topping up the Des O'Connor tan, owing to being in the closet Morris dancing

Well, its been a long time so firstly my apologies, Happy Christmas, and a Happy New Year

, and just in case, Happy Easter!!!!!

Right, The LEO.

Although I have some ideas, before making a definite plan I would like to ask firstly, are there any more takers? and secondly are there any 'possibles' that can now be classed as 'definites'?

Welcome back.

I have asked for the time off work but not got a definite answer. I need to chase that up again...

And then drive back from Orkney again...

Are we organising a ferry back on the Sunday or monday?

Hmm given the new job it might not be possible to *just* get the monday/tues off that 2nd week... I will investigate

On the first trip we split up after the show on Orkney and made our separate ways home on different ferries - though I just happened to run across Neil and Stephanie at a petrol station a couple of days later!

I'm waiting to hear whether Griff is doing a joust at the Tower again this summer.... if he is then it counts me out of the LEO

unless I just tag along for part of the way for moral support

Will post as soon as I know; hopefully within a month....... sorry I can't be more definite, Bill

I have some experience of planning events in another world and i can second the need for planning well in advance and today is as good a time to start as any,so why not. I have to book summer holidays by the end of jan or i will miss the boat.
I cant do the whole trip but would love to do a portion of it to show some solidarity. Is this what you meant by printing in Minor Matter how it works?

Wibs/Rob,

If you are unable to take part in the full run, you would still be very welcome to join for a part of the trip, and this goes for anyone else reading this. Of course if you could obtain some sponsorship for the Million Mile Challenge in aid of Marie Curie, so much the better

60 cars, for 60 years?

and no Kevin, I haven't been topping up the Des O'Connor tan, owing to being in the closet Morris dancing

Oh God not Des O'Connor ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, morris dancing is tht for whn u brake down in the hope that she will start again

60 cars, for 60 years?

What, you mean that Morris Minor owners aren't adventurous?

You never know a lot of people have looked but not signed up or showed much real interest
