What about you guys near and around Chester and North of there
It's a good chance for us to meet as opposed to typing away on this forum
I guess it's about 120 to 150 mile trip from there down the M5 to just before Cheltenham then left off JUNC 9 to Gotherington
It's probably likely to find camping fairly close by or B&B ------- Come on guys , this is probably as close as you'll get mileage wise to a Stylus meet ----- plus a bit of motorsport to watch or get involved in

We're so far North it takes time for the internet to load up here
I'm not able to commit yet. Working on logistics on how it might happen but can't confirm yet.
Once I have sorted things out and got my passport updated so I can venture so far south I'll let you know.
Fingers crossed!

GUYS
Dave Huggett is just 30 or so miles away from Prescott , West of Gloucester and has made a very kind offer to anyone who may want to travel on the Saturday at their liesure
. He has a '' camping barn '' ie has showers , toilets and hot water --- just bring your own sleeping bag & mattress etc ------------------------ there will be NO CHARGE
(loads of parking space)
He could probably even ''provide'' a breakfast if you'd like
Then you could be at Prescott within an hour from his house , possibly less if you got up early
If you are traveling a long way and fancy his offer then PM me for the address/email

Sod the expense
----------------------------- I've bought a black and white chequered flag 5ft x 3ft which I will try to get embroidered with CLUB STYLUS
We are in the paddock so there'll be no soft ground/grass to put poles or stakes into SO it will be draped across one of our cars in the front row (mirror to mirror) and across the screen to bonnet . Then if that car wants to take it's run up the hillclimb the flag can go onto another car etc etc
Well I thought it would be nice , seeing as we're in a ''stand-out'' position in the paddock , so not having something that says what the cars are and our club's name might be a little odd
I'm tempted to take my eaz-up shelter but experience from the past made me think again (it went walk about in the wind about 8ft in the air almost damaging several other cars in the process
)

Cheers George

---------------- When your stylus is finished George , does that mean you wont be coming down here anyway OR wouldn't your passport allow English access
I told you there'd be a bed available when you feel so inclined

Talking with the organisor again , it seems we will be in the paddock BUT it will be grass
---- so a flagpole can be put up by sliding it onto an iron stake that I'll drive in with a club hammer
I asked my friendly seamstress about putting the name on the flag yesterday ----- she say YES
--------------- today she turned up with it done , brilliant
So all we need now is the pole then I'll stick it up in the garden for a test flight
