Keep me posted as to when you plan to have your East Anglia get together,
I may be able to tie it in with a visit to relatives...
I was thinking somewhere between Sheffield and East Anglia (where we seem
to have a large list contingent, I guess the flat lands must be kinder on
our cars!), close to the M1 or A1. Maybe meet a pub, have a bite to eat
drive somewhere else (another pub) etc etc...anyone have any thoughts
about what we could do?

I am based close to Sheffield, about 10-15 mins drive off junction 32 (I
think) of the M1. Anyone who is up this way is welcome to drop by!

I am off to Thailand for best part of June, I will go LBC spotting, but I
think the most exotic vehicle I am likely to see will be the armies of
tuk-tuks in Bangkok! I decided that I'd pencil myself in for the TSSC
weekend otherwise I'd end up arranging other stuff on the same weekend.
I seem to be almost as busy/disorganised as you Mike!
cheers
John
