I was hoping to host a meet at Abingdon scout camp but unfortunately it is booked for a winter camp.
It is the last free weekend we have before Christmas so the alternative venue has to be Greywell, our seond home.
Lee & Linda Martin & Sue Rob mac Flyby Basildog & Karen
Anyone else interested?

I can actually do this one but Saturday only - have to play bridge match Herts against Cambridge University on Sunday - we always thrash them anyway, LOL, I may as well stay down at Greywell they should give us a walkover

My plan is to come over Saturday on my way back from Kent, spend the night before going off to the New Forest Sunday morning, then pop back on my way home again Sunday afternoon.

I won't be there tonight - will have some soup though tomorrow - and have still got some champagne to go with it I didn't manage to open the champagne last weekend - a combination of me getting up late and when I did get up, people were in the pub and not really fair to bring the bottle out, or even in their car park, it would be a little unfair since they were giving us a cheap weekend and were relying on us drinking their booze!

Stop Press! we'll be rollin' up at some time tomorrow after all!....See You tomorrow! ........Then again, the best laid plans of mice & Glenn...... ...Front O/S Wheel Bearing decided it did n't want to come with Us!......36 miles from Greywell. I've since had a proper look & it's the bearing tracking rings on the outer (smaller) race that are shot......amazing amount of play tho'! See Y'all at the next one!(?......)

Oh dear, Glenn. What happened? Hope it's not too serious?

Post by Neva Aglenn on Nov 30, 2013 23:00:59 GMT
Hi Carol! No it's not serious, just a wheel bearing. Just highly annoying as no prior warning & only 30-odd miles from the Meet! We were already later than We wanted:- Propane ran out last night & had to go to 4 places before finding Calor stockist (all Flo-Gas in area....) Starting to look like Me & Greywell are n't destined to meet!!! Last time had blowing exhaust & leaking shock....now this! Still.....Joys of an older Van I suppose!

Very sorry to hear about that Glen, we were waiting for you, and hoping nothing serious had happened.
Still at least a wheel bearing is an easy fix, and not too hard on the pocket. You missed a cracking fire. We got some ash windfall tree from a walk by the canal, I think from the storm a couple of weeks ago. Also some old elm to really get things going so it was a good hot burn on a starry cloudless night.
Had a meal in the pub (lots on at £7-10) and some champagne and some winter pimms.
We met up with an old friend Canalwheeler and his dog Sophie too.

Thanks Vernon, We'll get there one Day!!! If the bearing track'd gone after getting off M'way, I could've tried limping in but no.....it had to be M25...where the hard shoulder's really narrow 'cos of the lane-widening... Anyway, bearing's getting changed on Monday (Joe, who MOT's Van was happy to let Me work in Yard today.........or in the garage, with massive wood-fired stove...on Monday...no contest!!!! ) Say Hello to all from Us!

Yes if it had gone a bit nearer, you could have tried taking it slow and then get relayed back. I had to leave early today anyway; just finished giving Cambridge University a good thrashing at bridge!

Such a shame Glen, we were looking forward to meeting you.
We had a lovely weekend. Impromptu shared meals, champagne around a blazing fire. Brilliant.
