Hi Jonathan,
I'll be there with "Fay"
Martin Dowling is bringing tha Appia Consortium's "Furgone" van and he is bring the Lancia Flagpole & Flag so we'll be able to find him,
Peter Watcham with his 1.6HF,
Geoff Johnson and Fulvia Coupe,
Gary & Louise Peck-Cooper with "Bob" their lovely Fulvia series 2 Coupe.
Usually there's about 10 or so cars and I would expect there to be about the same again, or hopefully more.

Good stuff. What about John S, Al? Both fairly local to Harpenden?

I haven't heard but it would I expect it will depend whether or not Al or John are in the Country.
For less than straightforward reasons I won't be bringing "Fay" but will be in my 1990 Mercedes 300SE with my Raleigh Moped on the back!

HI Guys,

Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to make it, it's a really busy time at work. I don't suppose it goes on into the evening, if so I could probably get down by 7.30 ish. Hadn't managed to get out in the HF properly for about a month until last weekend when I picked my Brother up in London and we hot footed it down to a campsite near Goodwood. Bloody nice drive on those Sussex roads, car was superb, not giving me any grief whilst battling north-south london stop/start traffic. If only I could do that every other weekend...

p.s. Jonathan, did you get my message last Saturday?

Just seen that it doesn't start until 3pm, I'll see if I can get away from work early and pop down, I know tickets are all gone so I'll park up somewhere nearby.

Alex,
Unless you're prebooked it's unlikely you'll get in, although at 7.30pm you might, but come
and join us anyway it's such a great atmosphere, it's goes on until late & usually winds up when the pub across the road closes! although some people do go early at the best of times, and if the weathers not good then more leave, but you can reckon on a good crowd until about 9pm. I rarely leave before it gets dark.

Looks like I'll be able to get down, but will have to leave before dusk as my electrical gremlin hasn't been sorted yet. I'll find you all.

Didn't see you Alex, but not surprising considering the crowds! photos are at Ace Cafe on Fulvia Forum.

Hi Brian,

I was shocked how busy it was, I had no idea of the scale of the event. I was looking for you and hung around your Merc for a while. I managed to chat with Martin and met up with Jonathan (brucie bonuz). I'll see on Tuesday.
