Hiya Bernie.
Erm, our meets usually end up indoors eating, drinking, and chatting. We always plan something as a sort of token gesture, but to date we always fail to leave the pub..
If you can find a pub that does nice food, near a motorway Jctn with a big car park that will be a good begining as far as planning goes..
The only problem I can see is that at the moment the M6 seems to have become a car park between Stafford, and the M56 Jctn.. It took me 2-1/2 hrs to get home from Stafford last Sat afternoon 2pm ish to 5 pm ish, a journey of about 40 miles, all Motorway!!.. Worse place is between Jctn 14-16 M6 Northbound. I left Lyme Regis at 10 am. Was at Staffs for 1-30..2 ish..after stopping at Michael wood for coffee and watering the dog. approx 200 miles. But then ran into staionary traffic and began the final crawl home..

When is it? What time you leaving? I may come too if that's ok? I will have room for 3 in the ZX if anyone needs a lift..
