Thanks again for organising this event.

Hi Gordon,

Glad to say I can participate due to a work pattern change.

About time my luck turned as I have missed about 90% of this years activities.

Myself for lunch and shooting and Michelle for Lunch.

Back in the UK 17th sept so will probably see you at Teeside club night.

 

[GordonT]

Good news, Mike.

Glad you can join us after all!

Gordon,

I must confess that I never thought I would be doing Clay Pigeon shooting with the Porsche club. Not something I have ever tried but I will give it a go. Can you add me to the list for shooting and lunch, and Michelle just for the lunch.

Gary and Michelle

 

[Jacqs01]

Please add Philip for the shoot and the lunch and myself for just the lunch.

Thanks

Philip & Jacquie

Hi Gordon,

Please put me down for this, both shooting and lunch. I'll have my valet dust off my Purdy, I'm sure it'll need a light oiling and sight check before a seasons outing, after all we are well past the Glorious 12th. I'm sure those clay's will taste better than the last grouse I bagged, my teeth have never recovered from the shot.

Sir John

 

[GordonT]

That's fine, Sir John, we've put you down. You could probably give your valet the day off as there will be loaders in attendance.

Gordon.

Hi Adam - and everyone else contributing to this post,

We have decided, reluctantly, to postpone this event to the Spring as we have not attracted sufficient numbers to make it a viable exercise.

I am very sorry about this and would like to thank you all for supporting the event. I do hope that you will all be able to join in in the Spring. We will arrange a date that will hopefully suit the majority.

Thanks again for your support; look forward to seeing you all at other events.

Gordon.

Hi Gordon, it's a pity we can't get the numbers to make it work......I'll have to get my man to iron my Sunday Times instead..... OR we do have the numbers to go for a run anyway ! ....how about just turning it into a run-out starting at Washington services or some other local meet point.......I hesitate to say Newby Hall Cars in the park.....but we could go and find our own venue....??

 

[Jacqs01]

That’s a shame, but thanks for letting us know. Sorry, but we will have to give the run out a miss

Jacquie & Philip

 

[garyvasey]

That’s a shame as I was looking forward to that. Thanks for letting us know.

We are up for a run out as an alternative though.

Gary & Michelle.

 

[Mfitzz]

Roll on next spring Gordon.

Could be up for a run out as an alternative.

 

[GordonT]

Yes, Mike. One of my first thoughts was ‘we’ll have to check Mike’s leave pattern’!

Run out sounds good; can’t think of any events etc. Newby got such awful reviews the last time, Sir John. Anyone got any bright ideas?

 

[Carbon]

Hi Gordon that's a shame about the numbers but defiantly up for a run out on the day.

 

[GordonT]

Hi All,

I’m suffering from a cold (well, I think it’s probably “man flu”!) so am not going to make it tomorrow night - which is a great pity as I was really looking forward to it. Hope you all have a good evening. I am less than brimming with enthusiasm and ideas for a run out on Sunday - and the forecast is “wet and windy” ....... but don’t let me be a total killjoy! Does anyone have any ideas?
