The ' met office ' forecast for Saturday/Sunday looks very good for the South coast and up above my area , also from Salisbury to way past the North M25 area :D

I have a few sheets to put over car cockpits if it showers too and there's plenty of room to stand/sit in the 20 x 20 ft Stylus shed (yes -- I've actually cleared it out :!: ) Matt Downes has brought a 16 feet by 8 feet EZE-UP which we can erect too so the odd splash wont bother us any .

See you all Saturday :P If you don't come it will mean that my diet will be the same for the next month :lol: --- wont be able to nip to the pub either cos it'll be in the shed needing drinking --- that would be aweful :roll:

Well ---- I had a headache at 4-30am but was fine by 8-30am with a pot of tea :roll: Matt and Sharon stayed over and started breakfast with ' bucks fizz ' along with us and Stuart. Others who'd planned to stay over got called away for varieties of reasons . Stuart Parley and his wife were intending to stay over at the HOLIDAY INN 2 miles away from here but they rang about 4-00pm to tell them it was all full so the only option was HEMEL HEMPSTEAD , 15 MILES AWAY :!: They'd booked it in advance too so that was damn cheeky I thought :x Anyway that's why they didn't drop in this morning for more chat etc.

We had several sessions of eating , finally going to bed about 12-30pm :P
Went well , weather was kind so very pleased just a shame some couldn't make it.

Oh :!: nearly forgot ------------ the beer went down a treat but plenty left 8)

Always available for a free beer (or two..three..four). I lost count :lol:

The ladies had a good chat about how the guys could still have anything to talk about regards Stylus's after 10years !! :mrgreen:
Who says we were talking about cars anyway ???

Good to see some of the old & new faces.

Nice car Jasper, hope the finances work out so's you can keep it 8)

H'mmm , I have to say that Pete Smith's yellow faced instruments look really nice especially against the red paint job and black interior.

Matt , regarding 1 , 2 maybe 3 , 5 pints --- I thought I'd finish the beer off after you'd all gone so Monday I went into the shed for a couple and had to tip the box up to get any out :o --- both boxes :P
Actually it worked out very well on the numbers estimate for beer/food . I've had 3 pints between both boxes this week so 33 pints were consumed on Saturday , not much wine though . Three white plus five red :) I'll be ok for the next few weeks on the red then :lol:
