Hi Mark
Sorry but we need to bail out of this Sundays run as a change of date means we are now double booked.
Thanks for putting it all together though and hope you all enjoy yourselves.

Mark, sorry would love to have done this but it clashes with the TOTEM rally that we had already signed up to do. Hope all goes well and weather holds out

Thanks Geoff for the message. Enjoy the TOTEM rally.

Thank you Mark for today's superb drive out to the Cotswolds, and for planning it all so carefully. Well organised with detailed directions that included the steam railway at Teddington en route to Hidcote. Susan and I thoroughly enjoyed some great scenery, driving, company and eateries. Very pleased to see such a good turnout of R10 members.
Best regards,
Peter and Susan

Hi Peter and Susan. Thanks for your kind comments. I am so happy it all went to plan, well nearly, and that the weather was kind to us! I enjoyed it immensely, and hope the others did too. Weren't the gardens at Hidcote just fantastic? The delayed arrival at Toddington goes to prove that one should follow the route and not the person in front!!
Finally, thoughts go out to potential new member Andy and wife Lisa in their lovely white 4S, who tried so hard to meet us after a delayed start. We all buzzed pass them as they coped with little son Arthur's sickness, and then they had to turn round and go home. We all hope to meet the family soon, Andy.
