    I plan to be there.

    Doh, 3rd even less doable than the 4th. Every year I manage to miss my opportunity to 'de-lurk'!
    Have a lovely evening, I'll be thinking of you while on work trip in Belfast.

    So, er, that's a no, Rick.

    The Dutch contingent should all pile into AtC's and join too ;)

    If you're looking for a unique angle for participation in a BR discussion I'm afraid this isn't it.

    I would but most of the posters on here are full of themselves with massive egos.

    Its all a bit too "village people" for my liking.

    I think you are wrong...but if you are not can I be the construction worker?

    I think Ridgerider as that one already baggsied.

    If by some miracle I happen to be in London on the day I would love to come. Otherwise me, Rich, Salisccia and the Welsh contingent should have a rival meet in Cardiff drinking proper beer whilst you lot ponce about with cocktails and pink champagne.

    In the back room we'll be doing lines. Lines and lines of echelons. Not a drill.

    The back room? That's posh / shy - I was at Ascot a few years ago and the toilet cubicles were full so they were just doing it in plain view at the sinks.

    I know you are joshing, but maybe we could do a Welsh variation in Abergavenny next June for the Nationals. (That buys me some time to be less fat)

    Sooner than that is better for me but whatever works for the majority. Not sure if you can reserve places but worth a shot - they have tressle tables in one room. Checked the food menu out and it is pretty decent.

    All in a much better shout than LMNH.

    Me too. Bit of a stickler for the Yard Arm when it comes to liquoring-up. First timer at this event. Should I taper?

    As a bit of a lurker I'll say yes too. Evening from Brentwood for me to escape the godforsaken TOWIE contingent that try to take over the town regularly.....
    Cannondale Supersix 105 2013- summer bike - love it!
    Cannondale CAAD12 - racing fun!
    Trek Crockett 5 - CX bike, muddy fun!

    Sounds like a good plan providing I'm not roped into helping out! Could even let some of the lot from over the border attend if they are in town - should be an eye opener having a drink in a Welsh provincial market town!!
