Meet chatter

Any body going to be heading out from the Bury St. Edmunds area that might want to convoy? This is my first year also and I don't have a CB. Is that recommended/required? And yes, I'm getting the buzz.

Gutted, looks like i'm not going to be about to make the meet this year as i have to go away for work :( On the plus side i hear the weather in Sao Paulo is favourable at this time of year :mrgreen: The most annoying thing is i've just got the fronty running again, just need a bumper so i can MOT it so was really wanting to be about to give it a baptism of fire at the fog meet for its first run! Any other big meets being planned for the summer?
When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

I don't think anybody knows this year actually Dave...
The owners had something of a brainstorm as far as remodelling went last year, in that they hosted a day for the Caterpillar owners club, so a large number of dozers, diggers, etc have been at work.

Just need to fill in the form and get my funds off to whoever this week. Laning trip all mapped out for Saturday, it's a long one that'll take all day. Got 2 leaders/guides at the moment, same as last year. If anyone else is looking to lead get in touch with me and I'll try and get a copy of the MM overlay to you.. I'll start a name list in the Annual meet section if that's ok with Admin/Modds?

Regards

Stuart
