Re: Thursley Common Meet

Well I am not worried about my old banger, I don't think anyone would waste their time trying to break into that and I don't leave anything valuable in it (don't have anything valueable to leave!).

I even left it unattended in West Drayton, London, this afternoon and it wasn't even up on blocks when I got back.

Re: Thursley Common Meet

fbcpmike came up with this map a way back in the thread.

Map of United Kingdom | Multimap.com

Would everyone be happy with this as a meeting place?

Re: Thursley Common Meet

Was at Thursley last Tuesday and saw a flyer for the Elstead Paper Boat Race that is taking place at The Moat on the 24th June. Suggest we aim to arrive early as the car park gets busy on a normal Sunday never mind when an 'event' is taking place!

Re: Thursley Common Meet

Who's cooking the curry then? It sounds like it would be worth joining you just to experience that.

Re: Thursley Common Meet

So run this by me again ........

There will be lots of alcohol and curry consumption but the "females" have to miss out on all the fun and are only allowed to socialise with the "males" during daylight hours?

The females could, on the other hand, organise their own fun.

Yes. I must get my act together and have a count up. Been a bit tied up lately, what with sorting out my eldest son's engagement party, bringing my daughter home from uni(for good)and our youngest's A levels happening! It's all go!

Will have a look tonight and see who may be coming.
