Tony and all others coming

We will have a sketch prepared with good detail how to find the rendevouz.

Also, I think Rich is looking up a few hotel and B&B numbers for us. We will publish all on the site in good time.

Probably no harm to post all the info on Yahoo as well, just in case, but very few seem to be reading it.

Romany Jones is easy to find.

Just open your window and smell the bacon

Hope to meet you all around lunchtime, and might be able to make the Abbey photo call too.

Marty.

We will give you lots of notice for the next one, maybe even set out for mainland Europe next Summer.

We should have some nice photos to show for those who can't make it.

Thanks for the kind wishes,

Joe

Outline plan is on the Devon Meet Thread.
I will be posting directions to the Cafe soon.
( simply M5 south , A38 Exeter , A380 Torquay / Newton Abbot , Cafe 1 mile on the left. ) Roughly speaking Torquay is 45 mins to 1 hour from Bristol,depending on how you drive.
I will print up some handouts for when we meet so that everyone knows where they are going and whats going on. I am organising a press visit. Guest houses and hotels are in abundance here so there is no problem. I will be posting a recommended list of places to stay,which will include budget ( £15 - 20 / pn) mid-range ( £20 - 50 pn) and 4* ( £ 55 upwards)
Hope this will be of some help.

I can smell the bacon already!

Somewhere in this thread there was a plea for numbers for booking the dinner on Saturday night. I will be on my own for this junket.

The itinerary looks great. Regarding number for dinner, there will be two of us.

Phil & Belha.

Just got an email from Chris in Aberdeen, he can't come that particular weekend, anniversary trip with his wife, so we wish him well. Pity we can't meet this time.

I may be on my own, but a friend would like to come with me, unless he is off to look at boats somewhere, so count me for two. Family can't come that weekend unfortunately.

Arthur may come if his trip finishes early enough. We will still have a good group, I reckon we have six cars coming minimum.

Roll on June!!

Andy,

As most are planning to be in Torquay for 2 PM Saturday, and you have to leave for Bristol at 5ish, bear in mind some will already be in Torquay for Friday night. That would mean you could meet people earlier if that suited your round trip.

Rich and Claire will be there obviously, and Phil and Belha are planning to be over Friday night I think. I may be there myself, depending on ferry timing, I have to book yet.

Let us know what suits, can provide you with phone numbers.

Joe

Andy · #55 05-26-2002, 02:17 PM

Thanks Joe.

I will be checking out from my accomodation Saturday morning and hope to be in Torquay by midday at the latest.

I know where Rich is so will head there to get stoked up on bacon and lard before the afternoons events

Andy

Phil Hill · #56 05-27-2002, 01:02 AM

Looks like we're going to be able to make it from Lincolnshire too. Something of a miricle with shifts and wot-not. So I guess two more for dinner Saturday evening. I could do with the accomodation please, list who-ever controls it.

Thanks

Phil.

I want to wish everyone involved with the UK 10th Annivesary SVX Meet a great time. Enjoy yourselves.
I wish I was driving to your meet. But alas, there is an ocean between us and my SVX drives on the other side of the road.

Please post pictures so all us colonials can ogle you lucky blokes.

Sorry, haven't got the weblink, but try:

Alta Vista

Search "Torquay Hotels"

Look under Torquay Caterers or something similar. A whole list of B&B and hotels. Each hotel website has better availability data than the website itself. Plenty to choose from!

Roll on the 8th!!

I will try this. Rich, if you can before the week is out, post up three or four numbers of B&Bs and hotels for people. That way no one wil get worried. Not everyone is search engine literate.

Cheers

Joe
