Please let me know if either or both are ok for most of you
Both dates OK for us at the moment

I've decided to bite the bullet and set a definite date ---------- 24th July it is then guys
(put it in your diary & confirm you are coming please asap
) That's a Saturday , so if you don't want to drive home after a beer or two --- just stay over and drive back on the Sunday
I'll get local real ale in and wine plus food as per last year
I can sleep quite a few if you bring your sleeping bag & I've got two here anyway ok .
COST is £10 a head including your drinks --- we didn't run out last year

i'm free, Not sure if Nic will be there, it will depend on the weather on the day, if it doesnt look good i will trailer the car. Not sure if she will want to come in the stylus if i drive all the way.

It's not bad if the weather's ok. I used to drive to N. Weald , also down to Hampshire from Bucks -- quite cumfy really
give her a cushion and brolly

It's getting quite close to my intended Stylus come garden party to be held on SATURDAY the 24th JULY guys and gals
With catering in mind , could everyone intending to come ''please'' let me know and how many with you , so that I can organise a good feast plus real ale for the approximate correct numbers
Same as before , your Stylus's can be parked on the lawn and front drive plus any tin tops outside if the Stylus can't come
Staying over isn't a problem if you don't mind bringing sleeping bags . Lots of room in the conservatory plus a twin room for first takers
Tents could be put up at the end of the day if you fancy it too

Rob
We'll be there, but probably without Stylus as its still work-in-progress.
Its coming along nicely, but I'm running out of time (& always takes longer than you think !)
Will be shooting off early on the Sunday too, as I've got a work event on at Ascot.

Just bring a big brolly then if it really chucks it down simply pull off in a lay-by and hide under it
When mine was roadgoing that's all I ever did and only got caught once without my brolly
Looking forward to a good day regardless of the wet or shine --- there's plenty of cover under the eze - up and the shed , I doubt it will rain all day even if it does rain

A good day with nice weather but 10 cancelled so just 6 plus us and my son
a bit dissapointing but perhaps the idea's past it's sell by date
Anyway those that came had '' plenty '' to eat & drink . They had lunch , wine and beer then a repeat around 7-00pm , followed by cheese and wine later on in the evening , finally hopping to bed under the stars around 1-00pm
Breakfast Sunday 9-00 am then everybody away about 11-30am . Many thanks for those who donated to catering

Thankyou all for a lovely day. yet again made to feel very welcome with lots of car and unrelated chat. met some more very interesting people. shame more of you couldn't make it but i hope next year maybe some more people will make the effort. i may not have my car by then rob but if you do it again and i'm invited, i'll be there. food and beer/wine was fantastic!
thanks!
