Are we all going to meet up again this year?

Following the meeting at Gosford this year I have noticed that the Pistonheads meet may happen again in September at the Museum and was just wondering if anyone was up for a repeat.
I'm going to Japfest this year but going in my RX7 so if anyone else is going I'll be at the HJC stand at Japfest or possibly going round the track again this year, so if anyone is going to Japfest come over and say hello I'll be the guy with a hot looking black RX7 with the number plate that reads Hi RX7

Tell me, how do you get Hi RX7? And although I may have unscrewed the Bells a bit too often tonight wasn't it 'C'osford? Be happy to show up this time myself all being well. Put you up if you like - see if Joe can be outsnored!
Actually, that's rich coming from me...

Your right it is Cosford although for some reason I keep calling it Gosford and obviously spelling it that way too. The number plate on my RX7 is actually H1 RXT but some kids in my road keep smudging the T which makes it look like a 7 officer and if I catch them i'll kick their butt. The number plate RX 7 was on the market a while ago and despite my attempt to buy it it was provisionally sold for £12K which was more than double what I was prepared to pay so I'm sticking to mine for now. Thanks for the offer to put me up but I really liked that ancient monument of a hotel I stayed at last time so would like to stay there again, so if this does come about we could all meet there on the Saturday night for a meal and chat as we did last time.

I did very few miles in the 'bus' last year, so I promised myself it would get 'what for' this year.

If any dates can be established early on, it would help me in getting some accommodation pre booked.

Just to show some sort of commitment, I can put down a £10 deposit

If we do meet at Cosford (correct spelling this time Steve I hope you noticed) then I can strongly recommend the Hotel I stayed at, its like an ancient monument but the whole place including the food was 4 star I thought I'd kept the details of it but seem to have lost them so I'll do a search and post the details up soon. It was really nice to meet up with everyone last year so its got to be worth it again.
Just found it its the Madeley Court Hotel a 16th century building single rooms with an enormous breakfast £133 per night.

looking at the Cosford web site, Sunday July 10th and Sunday September 25th are the two last dates for 2011.

My preference would be for July 10th, hopefully better weather and lighter nights. Scotland tends to start freezing up by the end of August

The Madeley Court has single rooms with breakfast for £66 a night, must have been some size o' breakfast for £133?

Looks a nice place to stay though and would be fine for me, and is exactly the type of establishment the SVX was intended for!

I was just wondering if a few of us were to stay at the Hotel couldn't we arrange for them to provide a light buffet (cucumber sandwiches etc) so we can gather Saturday afternoon there.
