Re: MOC South West monthly meet

With two "apologies for absence" due to illness no other Marlineers seen in the bar from 12.30 to 13.00h so after a lonely drink I returned to the show for some successful foraging in the autojumble. Peter.

Re: MOC South West monthly meet

Have a good show Pete. Is the Sunbeam going? I hope the weather is kind to you. I'll be at the Fraddon vintage tractor show - in the mud and rain no doubt!

Hi Dane. Yes the Sunbeam is going ;-) Need a few miles post overhaul before the trip to york in July.

Re: MOC South West monthly meet

That's an awesome venue.

We were at the Chiltern Hills Rally, it's 'just a field' but there's usually in the very high hundreds of vehicles of all types. A trials Marlin on our pitch (mine in the garage!), at least one, a Cabrio, in the field.

Re: MOC South West monthly meet

An excellent show with over 500 cars there with a complete cross section of vehicle types and ages and one Marlin Hunter!. Good value too as the entry cost of £5 for car and driver plus £2.50 for each additional passenger gave free entry to the house and gardens on the day. If you tick the box as going as part of a club they automatically allocate a block of spaces so you can all park together. I will make a note of the date for next year and hopefully some more of the SW Marlin contingent can attend. Peter.

Re: MOC South West monthly meet

It was nice to catch up Peter. I'm so sorry to have been rather late. The whole morning was rather tiresome until we arrived at Sheepwash !!
Many thanks for the tow bar. I'll mark it up and sort out my welder. Best wishes to you.

Indeed good to catch up with you both Dane. The log fire was a welcome sight after a drive in such wild weather. Hope the welding produces the desired result. Have you got anything to tow with it yet ??? Peter.

Re: MOC South West monthly meet

It should be interesting, but hood up to appease Mrs C ! Should I have booked? It looks like I'll have to wing it. See you there Pete.

As no response from anyone else I didn't book for just us three but if we are there at 12.00am I am sure we will get a table in the bar ok. Peter.

Re: MOC South West monthly meet

Looking forward to catching up Pete. Many thanks for the tow bar. Angle grinder and welder at the ready !!
Let us hope the weather is kind to us.

Indeed yes! Suggest some tie-downs under the wings when parked, having looked at the weather forecast! Looks like we are the only ones going! Peter.
