Not been present for a while so apologies, but i will put this in the diary to attend, as its a great drive for me to get there. (Live in Towcester)
Not sure what Zep is up to, but he may also be able to attend.
It would be great to see you both there!

Sadly the weather is continuing its dreadful path and Sunday looks very wet on all three sites (BBC, Metcheck, and Metoffice).

Not sure how that will impact on numbers, but please let me know if you are unlikely to attend as a result...I won't hold it against you.

Not due to the weather, but not sure i'm going to make it as I have to fit new rear suspension airstuts on the Mrs Disco due to one letting go on the M4 !! And like you say weather looks **** and said Disco is on the drive and is not moveable into the garage !

No problem. I know where my priorities would be under the circumstances.

I think it is MUCH too early to be worrying about the weather at this stage.

FWIW, Hyperlocal Weather is saying Rain on Saturday and Drizzle overnight, and then Dry (and Windy) from about 09:17 on Sunday morning.

Roary survived a trip to the Silverstone museum yesterday (it just means he'll get loads of tlc later) and we had a great time - it's all about the people :)

We have a allocated parking area at the Classic Car Hub, Bibury. (Sports Maserati)

Please look out for that if not joining from Kemble Airfield, we anticipate being there (CCH) for 12.30

The forecast is not encouraging, so I fear a few 'garage princesses' (and their cars ;) ) may be reluctant to come out. But I will definitely be there - I have even washed the QP.

Hope to see most of you at Kemble.

1) Safrane - GS or GTs
2) Roary Rati - 4200 Spyder or S2000
3) Eb - QP
4) Erlingtheyounger- QP
5) Motorsport3 - QP
6) Kazzzer - GTs or something else
7) Troll - GTs
8) Ohmar - 4200 Spyder
9) Mr S - GS
10) Ewan - Bi-Turbo Spyder
11) Mark (Annie's friend) - 4200 - probably not although he may pop over for the bacon butty
12) Friend of Annie's - Car TBC - he can't make it (but I have PM'ed a couple of local FB Maser owners and one might be interested)
13) MarkMas (and Mrs MM) QPV 4.7 S (just Kemble)

Indeed Mark, sadly my advance forcast was very accurate.

Will be there, would be very rude to be a no show at a meet I organised!

This would have been amazing. I’m local and love getting to AV8 - there’ll be some good photo opportunities there too.

The QP hasn’t moved in a couple of months due to lack of time, so I know it won’t be fit to attend (I’ll have to go in through the boot which means that it won’t then close). Really need to move it on!

Enjoy and hope the weather is kind for the Cotswold thrashing.

Someone take a trailer to Jonny's place!

You could just come in some other car, and hang out. Maybe you will be inspired to fix or get rid!
