Welcome along!

I'm in Somerset too!
Where abouts are you?

There are some quite good meets around here:
Jadlam
Elis
Pipers
Haynes

I try to get to one of two of them a month if possible.

I'm over in Shepton Mallet.
Word of warning on Elis, it's all in fields, so if the weather is bad, not many people will turn up!
Though if it's a nice day, it's usually packed!

If you fancy a bit of a drive, it's our monthly meet in Bristol this Friday...

I think we're going to try and make it tonight, unfortunately not in the mk2 though.
I'll keep my eye out for you.

I did, but I was looking after my grizzly 4 year old, so  didn't get time to have a proper look!
Which one were you, the red or the blue golf?

That's right, I turned up in the red Boxster and my wife and son arrived in the blue A3 a little later on.
I should be at next months too (weather depending!) so I'll try and say hi then.
