Sunday 12th August, Cambridgeshire

[Bazza 907]

Top man Gerald Turner from GST Performance and Club Lotus Cambridgeshire are organising a lotus evening "Five Miles from Anywhere"

Sunday 12th August from 5pm onwards at the Five Miles Inn, Upware, Cambs. CB7 5ZR

Apparently its a great pub on the river. Nothing specific organised other than a pleasant evening eating and drinking with lots of lotuses

I'm planning to go and (unless it looks a bit wet) Chris Mickey Mouse will be going.

Anybody else up for it?

If so perhaps you could post here and let Rob at rob@cambsclublotus.org.uk know before 5th August.

Yep, I might even take "minni Mouse" as well!

Looking forward to a country pub by a bubbling river, real ales and good food and lots of Lotus. Dont get much better.

If there's to many Elises, we can find out if they float!

[Tentenths]

Those magic words - Gerald Turner, Lotus, pub, food and beer

I'm up for this one chaps... but first I have to persuade my mother to celebrate her birthday a week earlier/later than normal this year

[esprit22]

Bring your Mum with you! :yes

[Tentenths]

;)

[esprit22]

Good one James, me ol' mucker, took me a few looks to get that!

[Kimbers]

Assuming the weathers good I'll pop over on my bike.

[BC007]

Sounds like a great evening. I'll be up for this too. Out of interest didn't the landlord recently go bankrupt?

[esprit22]

Assuming the weathers good I'll pop over on my bike.

Wonder if that floats......

[Bazza 907]

Not sure if the landlord went bust - I think that it might a relative of Gerald's so maybe they've just taken it over?

Chaps - Do remember to drop Rob an email so he knows you're coming - unless your Kimbers of course as the bike won't take up 'mushroom' in the car park.

[Dave Eds]

A few of us from LEC will be there as well!

It's a great venue and IS run by Gerald's relatives. We had a meet there earlier this month and were well looked after.

See you there.

[Dave Eds]

So is anyone going to this on Sunday?

[BC007]

Saw Gerald on Tuesday as he was doing my service and mot. The pub has been taken over by his relatives. I'll be there providing the weather's not lousy (forecast looks good). I'm giving the esprit a good clean over the weekend and I like to see it stay that way for a week or two!

Penny and I are definitely going. From an exchange of PMs this morning I'm pretty sure Mr & Mrs Bazza are too. And, provided there's not even the remotest chance of any rain falling from the sky, I suspect that Chris (esprit22) may also grace us with his presence

You still planning on putting in an appearance, Kimbers?

Only if you get the beers in...!

[Tentenths]

Think it was my round anyway

[esprit22]

Think it was my round anyway

Yes, I reckon it is,..... seem to recall you darting off to the toilets when your shout came up last time!! Hmm... mind you, SO did Bazza, how strange....

[Bazza 907]

Just to put the record straight. I think the very kind James bought a massive round just before he left the pub. I bought the one before that so......who's round is it next Chris eh ????

Driving up tomorrow after hopefully seeing Arsenal kick off the season with a win at the Emirates against Fulham.

"Come on you reds"

I might join you all tomorrow evening.

The car perfomrmed OK on its little run to March yesterday ( all suspension puilled apart , brakes disturbed etc, so now I've got the confidence in it again (squealing tyres on roundabouts ay less then 30mph wasn't good), I think an evening run should be OK. You'll know if i get close, I've got an annoying rattle on the car to fix.

Diane and I will be there tomorrow too, have to be there for Gerald, he is such a top guy

Done all my jobs today so I can hopefully get cleaning tomorrow - as long as a higher authority does not come up with some more for me:-)

Regards

Fred

[Tentenths]

Right, one job off the list... Esprit all clean and shiny and ready to go.

Now off to work up a real thirst by spending an hour or two chasing the lawnmower up and down 1/4 acre of grass in this humidity

See you all there

Oh well I cannot find the cause of the annoying rattle, so i don't feel confident now, I could just rely ont he AA card and mobile telephone, but I prefer not to break down too far from home.

[esprit22]

Top stuff, nice to see you all at the meet. Bazz, your ESSEX is superb...just a shame it is'nt red!

Reckon there's one p1ssed of bloke in a BMW who obviously wont go up against a G car again!

[BC007]

Just want to echo Chris's comments. Great meet in a nice location and a pleasure to see everyone. Always a joy to see a nice Essex - well done Bazza and Chris's 'G' was a joy to oggle at too. Excellent stuff.

[Bazza 907]

Thanks chaps

I'd echo the sentiments too - it was a superb location and a great evening.

Good to meet so many of you again or put names to faces.
