I've plugged this in as a place holder. Again I will be in far flung place(s) but hopefully some of the gang will attend.

Peter had plugged the date of 30th into the calendar yonks ago, but we can move that if peeps can agree on a date that suits the majority.

Ace is good for me, and any of the days mentioned incl 30th. As Xmas is on a sunday, 27th will be a bank holiday, so maybe best avoided?

Lucky old you! France doesn't take an extra day off just because Christmas Day is on a Sunday - it's back to normal on Monday.

Having said that, I may consider a day trip across if the weather is nice...

Max, be patient with me regarding the Lola. As I,ve just said to Mike, it is a thousand pieces now, but the rebuild is about to commence in a big way over this winter period. Lots of replacement "goodies" beginning to pile up, and I even picked up new windscreen from Pilkingtons yesterday. (Shippers cracked the original one in delivery).

That's fine for me Mike, and it is now set in stone and in my calendar in black ink. Just have to confirm where and at what time you want me to pick you up.

I,m rather looking forward to this International event on the 29th and the predictable huge turnout of bright eyed and bushy tailed Tenthers et al, following Christmas celebrations.

As I am treating this sumptuous venue and its culinary delights as my Christmas dinner (wifes away in Australia for six weeks), may I just ask what the dress code is please, and do my jeans and shirt have to be ironed ? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We won't! Usually peeps come and go in their own time, and with luck there is a cross over point in the middle somewhere.....

Wasn't it about this time last year Mrs B had a nasty injury and our Bauble had to cook his own Christmas fare. I do hope she's restored to the rudest of rude health Mr B

How kind of you to remember, Max, Dear Judith will never fully recover the strength in her right arm (phew!), but otherwise is in rude (one might even say obscene) health, thank you.
So unless she organises another 'crash for cash scam', I should be able to sit back on Christmas Day eating chocolates and contemplating the washing up.

Luckily number 2 daughter has no better offer for Turkey dinner, so will descend on her aged parents, and probably take over many of the cooking duties. The bad news is she will bring her 'partner' and his mate John, and he does love to tell you all about himself. Ah! Well there is always the Ace to look forward to.

Kindest possible regards,

Bob AKA Bauble.

If Mike & co are making their way from the wilds of Norfolk, could they not bring Mr Tuner with them?

That would make the journey worthwhile for the rest of us.
