I'll be there and I don't have to travel too far north. Just hope the rain holds off!!!!

Some would say "the grim South"!

Actually I like that part of the world and spent many a happy hour in the Asbourne/Leek/Buxton/Bakewell area, in another life. I wish that I could join you at Asbourne, but sadly I can not find away to arrange things to be able to make it. Have fun.

That's a shame Jock. It would have been nice. Once again, another time eh?

It will probably happen, when we least expect it, John!

**English Bloke** · 7th July 13, 04:15 AM

Let's hope so Jock. It's overdue.

Ahem....... Would love to be at that meeting too. There must be room for a little one.

**Jock Scot** · 7th July 13, 06:12 AM

Oh I expect that we could squeeze you in somehow Simon.

Nothing grim about the Ashbourne area; it may be a trifle damp on occasions, but coming from Scotland, that is more or less what you expect.

There is great scenery around Leek and the Peak district in Derbyshire, all less than ½ hour away, definitely worth a visit.

Hope to see you all there. Next year Jock?
