Finally, after lengthy discussions with Vega, we have got around to arranging a meet in the Plymouth area.

All meet up in the KFC car park (B&Q - A386 Tavistock Road) at 12 Midday. Then head up to either, a pub at Yelverton (I think it is the Leg'o'Mutton) or The Plume of Feathers in Princetown, for a bite to eat and drink.

Hopefully we will finally get around to meeting each other. :thumbs:

PLEASE NOTE THIS NOW THE 29TH JUNE NOT THE 22ND AS ORIGINALLY TITLED :wave:

So far the general consensus is move it to the 29th, but I am still waiting on a few replies. The only casulty so far could be our area rep, though Chris is seeing if he can sort anything out. :)

Popped up to Princetown last Sunday lunchtime, it was extremely busy and parking may be an issue.:(
It might be better to go to the Leg'o'mutton in Yelverton, there are 2 large car parks there.

What does everybody think?

vega
25-06-2003, 16:18
Yeah, sounds OK to me, my car may be back on the road too :)

vega
25-06-2003, 16:39
I doubt I'll have time to polish my car if it is ready in time though, so you might get a bit of abused for having a car so damn shiny :D

I totally sympathize as i had a bad car accident last year and i really done my back in.. i know how it hurts and we both know its no joke. But may i say this... after months of agony and spending my life in hot baths i found a real help... a Waterbed... try one it works ...Really! Hope you make it but if not i hope you feel better soon.:)

Hayley
27-06-2003, 22:50
Thanks. :)

lisatiptop1
27-06-2003, 22:54
I kid you not look into getting a waterbed... there not much more than a normal divan with good mattress and once you have one you will never go back. If you make it i will fill you in about it all. Take care of yourself ... and stay still !!!!
