Maybe, but as Warwickshire isn't a branch (yet?) I'm happy with it here.
If something really does come about then I'll be over the moon to start posing in the branch area ;-)

Following an op I'm not allowed to walk for another couple of weeks (and no driving either).
Sorry to hear that Ray but you are now learning the perils of marriage :wink:

Ok - an update at last!

Have had a meeting of miunds with a few guys from Coventry branch about combining the Cov & Warwickshire contingents.

All seems to be heading the right way - Coventry branch is currently very small and very keen to expand. They like it all friendly and informal, so it all looks good.

Coventry doesn't have a "formal home" in the short term and is currently meeting at Stivichal Arms (The Harvester) on A45 in Cov.

All warwickshire are invited for next meeting 6th May...

If all goes in a good way I'll be moving this over to the 'Branch' section ;-)

Ray,

It was good to meet with you the other night and have a meeting of minds.

Great news that you've posted the details on the forum in order we can rivatilise the Coventry & District Branch.

Arrive at the location previously mentioned in the thread at 7.30/7.45pm ish.

All we want to do is have fun, discuss minors, what avenue's we should explore to keep the members happy and move forward about growing the club and the experiences.

We already have plans to attend Stoneleigh Show along with some others. We're welcoming minors and members(!) of all ages, condition, standard or modified.

Give the branch a chance and we'll develop accordingly.

See you soon on the 6th May.

Rich,

although Ian was at themeeting with Ray, it's not Ian who's writing these articles.

Try and come to one of our meetings or, as discussed with Ian join us on one of our events and I'll introduce myself.

Good to see you and the other members of the Nuneaton Club, along with cars at last weeks B/Ham rally.

See you soon.

I was left guessing from your other post! Nice to hear from you 'not Ian'.

ps - not a problem to use real first names on here as it can help when people meet up in person ;-)
