I went to FCS05 in my 205GTi. Bit of a "Barryboy" event really and in recent times there has been talk of cars being erm, tampered with in the car park. Not really my cup of tea I must confess.

That's my choice Vince and all being well, I'll be there in the Activa

I can then droll over my two very favourite Citroens

I expect DickieG will be there with his DS

Oh yes I'll be at the DS/SM rally, after all I am responsible for arranging the convoy drive on the Saturday

Convoy drive on the saturday? Is that an "old metal" only convoy?

What day you going down Jim....? It would be good to hook up with you guys at that one / follow you down?...

Both I expect Vince

You will be more than welcome to come here first (I'm 5 mins from M1 J14), have a cuppa and then follow me to the meet which is about 10 miles from here and out in the sticks a bit...

Sounds like a plan Jim,

Will try to book some time off with the boss (wife) and make plans

The convoy is on the Saturday lunchtime, whilst its predominately for DS's I can't see why other Citroëns or anything else for that matter can't tag along for the spectacle, and as I'm organsing it

The busiest day by far is the Sunday but camping is available on site, food and drinks are offered throughout the weekend and right next door to the site is a real old country pub $\:D/$ as Jim mentions the site is in a small village called Little Horwood, no shops there just one pub. Unless the weather is poo I'll camp overnight.

Hmm, no useful links

the location is in the field directly behind the "Shoulder of Mutton" pub, the only pub in Little Horwood which is south west of Milton Keynes part post code of MK17 0.

DS and SM rally, sounds like a good outing for the Xantia, I have yet to see an SM in the flesh

Ditto, considering I don't get out much

I might have to tag along if there are objections...

Reckon it'll be a good day

Do Toby, be good to finally meet you

Kev, you are in for a treat

I guarantee love at first sight, wobbly knees and a stupid grin...

If you're not instantly and forever smitten with the SM, I'll be checking you still have a pulse

Vince, Paul et al, it would be nice to meet you all, which day are you planning to go down on or are you going both days?

I would certainly like to see the convoy on the Saturday

How large is the event? Could everything be taken in on one day or would we say it deserves two?

Toby, you're more than welcome to tag along in my Xant or follow each other up

I sense a Xantia convoy behind the DS/SMs
