West Midlands Meet Tonight (Pics)

Guest · Mar 17, 2005

I nipped into the West Midlands Meet at the Royal Oak tonight just to say hello and show me face, iv not been to a meet before so wanted to see if i could talk to anyone.

There was a conference in the room so i stayed outside and talked to Helen, her husband (sorry i dont know name) and two other really nice people.

Thx for the welcome guys, sorry i didn't manage to ay hello to everyone, i will try next time!!!

Heres a few pics i took outside (i got a visit from the pub manager and a few other people as they didn't know what i was doing)

Oh well its all good.

It was very dark and was hard to get nice pictures but these are pretty good for the bad photoing conditions.

Thx all [

Conference eh!...So no one thinks West Mids are into conferences [

] it was a talk and slide show from John on his glider teaching career.
Sorry you didn't come in Roy, its wasn't on all night, but at least you did some carpark security patrolling [

]
At least you didn't photograph all the Porsches in the carpark, I had been out all day in mine and wasn't that clean[

Hi Roy, was great to meet you again. nice pictures you didn't take one of the 914[8D] parked beside the red 944..almost see it in the first picture.

didn't mean to stop you going into the meeting John Lord was doing a talk and slide show about his gliders and gliding which i have to confess i found boring so i sneaked out to the bar.where i found you and a few others.

you also might be interested in a meeting region 8 has at the Appleby inn,Appleby Parva on the third tuesday of the month.

Just to get things a little straighened out,

This is my dads account, hense Roy944... but my name is Scott... hense

Sorry for the confusion but my dad was working late and couldn't make it so i came down to see how things worked for the next meet inwhich he will be attending in the 944.

P.s im trying to teach him how to use the forum so bare with me, as it will more than likely me posting.

Thx again all, next time i will take pics of everyones cars but felt a bit uncomfortable with everyone watching and not knowing who i was last night.

oops sorry Scot, i knew that already just didn't have my brain in gear when i was posting earlier.. too distracting packing my bags for my week-end at the officials conference.... how do you fold a suit of armour?

not to mention fit it in a Boxster

Guest · Mar 18, 2005

As someone who has had a car broken into in a pub carpark it's reassuring to hear that the landlord & his staff are actually noticing the activity in the carpark & challenging anyone snooping around.
