Nice to meet you too Rupert. We might not have found you if it wasn't for your distinctive mode of transport!

Hi,

Yep, yellow V8 convertible t'is mine!

I had a great day yesterday and was chuffed that the Mog made it all the way there on it's maiden voyage! (200 miles - had only done 10 miles for the mot!)
The crowd of people around the car when I drove in was amazing - I couldn't get away for a couple of hours!

Sorry, I missed some of you!
Nice to meet ;-
Darren again (Thanks for the tea mate - I owe you one!)
Lee (Thanks for the pics)
Onne
Dan
Alex
Neil and family again
Chrissie (on the road out - Sorry!

)
I did see Paul but not to speak to.
Apologies if I've forgotten anyone.

What a great day though next year I'm going to camp as I was shattered by the time I got home.

Cheers

Martin

Well, your hair fitted in at least.....

Didn't meet you Martin but you gave me a wave as you overtook me driving home on the A14. My car's a little bit slower than yours

Ahhhhh!

Did I follow you out of Stanford?
I think I was 2 cars behind.

Are you going to the Herts Branch Rally?

Perhaps see you there? (Can't miss me!

)

I didn't notice you following me out of Stanford - just a bright yellow thing approaching quite quickly in my rear view mirror on the A14

I'll be going to the Herts branch rally so will come over and say hello.

BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS WHILST THE GAZEBO BLEW AWAY
"THE BANNER SURVIVED" Well done ROGER

If it survived that, it should survive the LEO Run

One of the other branches (possibly East Kent?) had an identical gazebo to ours destroyed, and they kindly let us take what we wanted from the wreckage to replace our broken parts.

When we arrived the Northern Irish one was still up but looking rather precarious, so I went round and added more pegs to help hold it in place, then Peetee found some poles and ropes and lashed it down.

I suspect our banner survived because the NI tent shielded it from the worst of the winds.

It was actually East Midlands Branch's courtesy of Charlie (other half of the 4th Lou) Edwards.

Well the Northamptonshire branch gazebo lived on and wasn't destroyed as Rog managed to take it down for us before it got too damaged, so a big thankyou goes to Rog.

Ah right, I thought it was East something...
