Please note that the date for this meeting has changed!!!

An administrative issue at the barn means that we're not able to meet on the 24th as originally planned. Please spread the word!



Welcome back after the summer break!

The meetings starts at 10am.

Note that there are major roadworks on the ring road between the M32 and the Barn, but they shouldn't affect people on the way there. They're probably avoidable on the way out too.

Also, please take a look at the posts Pete made about the auction for Roger's stuff, and bring money along if any of it is of interest to you!

Andy,

you might like to mention that there are some major road works taking place on the Bristol ring road near the barn - I don't know how this might effect anyone with our meeting being on a Sunday but it is a nightmare during the working week.

I drove through those roadworks last Sunday at around 09:45 and there was no impact to traffic flow at all. I suspect that might not be the case on departure though but there is a "rat run" that starts close to the barn (in fact I think you can turn left as you leave the car park instead of right) which avoids the area completely and feeds back on to the ring road at the junction before the M32 roundabout.

As Barry says I'll have all Roger's kit for people to look at and bid on. In addition to the items in the auction topics there are some printed manuals, odd CD/DVD disc etc that I'll be bringing to. Hopefully some of the stuff will be useful to you guys.

For reference the current auctions are

Shame about having to change the date. I won't be able to make this meeting, so I will see you in November as I can't do October either!

Never mind. Hopefully I will see some of you at a fly in soon.  8)

That was a busy meeting to start off our Autumn session. Thanks to everyone you came and especially to those who bought some of Roger's old kit. I'm sure it's gone to a good home.
