Ooo.. there's been two since then :)

Ah well, one courtsey of CJ and the Devon weather... but a very festive and enjoyable weekend again, but lanes a bit tight for a shiney thing like yours :oops:

and er, one in Wales, camping at Llanfyllin again and doing some classic Welsh lanes (careful with the typos on that one!)

=======

So the next main Syncronauts event is to buy one of the lovely 2009 calendars as soon as they roll off the press - please :idea:

======

January sometime, if all's well, we hope to run an informal Herts, Cambs, Essex lanes and raging rivers day out :shock:

=====

The first 'site' event of the season is usually April sometime, traditionally the 1st, though we may put that back a week or three next year

Last year this was at Whaddon, near MK, and was a real hoot... though not overly well supported. Lots of towing and digging teamwork both days and a compettiive edge here and there made it the sort of thing I enjoy... whether we go back there depends on a) how wet it looks like being when we have to commit to a date (farmer's choice, not ours) b) if we can get a 2nd (Like minded) club to share with us (its expensive)

Otherwise it might be back to Coney Green Farm, which some of us like and others have got a bit bored with... but excellent value for money.

There's also the outside chance someone will find a decent alternative.. but think we have to stress it must be big enough and challenging enough with water on tap, and a flattish decent camping area.

====

In the meantime, between April sometime and now, it is possible that Secretary Kev will surprise us all - and pull a :idea out of his magic hat

.. or not!

===

Ah! Annuvver semi-syncro event - Mr S. Baxter esq. is holding an open day at his new palatial mansion in January and it has been rumoured that there are driveable lanes in the vicinity...
We haven't been formally invited (yet), but then Simon would never deny anyone with a T25 a cup of tea or coffee and a biscuit 8)
a long way for us southerners just for the day, but last year, we sort of 'extended it' a bit, went further North and enjoyed a day of driving through a very flooded Yorkshire Dales... quite a sight some places were, with one group being forced into reverse by the torrents :shock:

====

So there's a few options - discuss :wink:

One before my van breaks again would be handy, though not if it was the cause of. :lol:

I'll be up for something at Baxters. It used to take me just under an hour to get there but he's thortfully moved a bit closer now :ok

Around new year is already too busy/expencive so theres no way I'd make the dales.

Nothing planned for the Dales... just mentioned it as how the Brickwerks weekend was extended last year. It would be an ad hoc arrangement amongst friends if it happened again... for those who like seeing the Dales' rivers and streams running well

Hello HM,
Any news yet regarding an April meet, because CJ (Syncrospares) is fitting a recon VC (curtesy Aidan) and prop-shaft on the bus for me on the 6th and I would really love to attend. :ok

Eric.
Not really an unsociable sod, just gives a good impression.
