Hi Mark,

Can you please put me down for the Thursday visit. I'm hoping to be able to get along to the pub too.

Thanks Michael and Jeff. I have put you on the list. Jeff, please note that the pub is now the Cowpers Oak in Weston Underwood. Please select your food from the bar or evening menu on their website and email me with your choice today. Alternatively, after today, please contact the pub directly. My email address is mark.grimwood1@btinternet.com

Thanks.

Hi Mark - as promised on Saturday, my partner Maria will be with me on Thursday. We have ordered food directly with the pub. See you at 6. Best regards Cliff

Hi again Mark. I see now you are collating all the food orders. I have already left a message on the ansaphone at the pub but if you want to add us to your list we would like one chicken supreme and one fish and chips.

Cliff and Maria

Hi Cliff,

Glad you can both come. As you have told the pub, I won’t confuse them by adding you to my list or thr order could be double counted.

See you there.

Regards.

Mark

Thanks all for your incredible support. At 27, Smail showroom numbers have reached capacity, so I am afraid we can accept no more bookings. I will set up a reserve list if there are any latecomers, and I would ask you to let me know if, already having booked, you are unable to attend.

There is however, still room at the Cowpers Oak from 7.30pm.

I am missing some food orders. If you wish to eat, please now contact the pub direct on 01234 711382.

We are expected at Smails from 6.00pm. With such a great turnout, parking might now be an issue, so please allow plenty of time to hunt down a space!!

See you all tomorrow.

Mark

Great visit to Smail’s... understandably much drooling over the myriad of beautiful Astons... lovely to see you all there.

Thanks, Mark for arranging - hope you all had a nice meal afterwards []

Yes, well done Mark for organising the evening at Smails and the pub meal.

Interesting to see the "cottage industry" behind the High Street showroom.!

Looking forward to the next POTM.

Thanks Paul, thanks Jeff, and thanks everyone for your support. It was just luck that I chose the venue, but what an amazing set-up and what fantastic cars! Desmond Smail was a great host and an expert teller of interesting anecdotes.... highly recommended if you are looking for an Aston to park alongside your Porsches! I have sent grateful thanks today, along with a basket of fruit for Des and his team to share.

Cheers.

Mark,

Like others just wanted to express my gratitude for arranging another superb evening, and what an eye opener. Pub was fantastic, and company even better.

Kind regards

Same here, Many thanks Mark, it was truly amazing, I never had the opportunity before to be that close of a classic Aston Martin.

I enjoyed it a lot.
