HI Jerry, A run to Looe on the sunday would be fab if you can ? what time would we arrive in looe? as I want to spend most of the day with friends there? Hi Joanne - well, here's the thing. As Sunday's run is a bit of an impromptu affair due to the parade being cancelled, we haven't yet finalised the route. Char and I went out last weekend to have a go at dry running a possible route, which didn't include Looe. However as Char grew up in Looe, and as Tigger would like a trip across the Bodinnick ferry in Fowey (which is close to Looe), then I think we could possibly find a route there. If this is the case then we should be there by around 1pm. We have a planning meeting tomorrow night so will let you know what is decided. See you all soon. Jerry | ||

Everyone is invited back to a garden party at Char and Jerry's where there will be a trip to the local fish and chip shop to bring back dinner! Sunday: * To make everyone's trip back home a little easier, starting at 9.00am, we'll be doing a run on Sunday morning that will head back up to Devon It will end very close to the main road leading out of the West Country.We'll be taking in both car ferries at Fowey and Torpoint (total cost around £3.70 per MINI), a trip to the relaxing bay of Talland (where Richard and Judy have a home), past Looe, where we say goodbye to Joanne, and onwards to Rame with the causeway at St John (tide allowing).

THE RAFFLE WILL ONLY BE OPEN TO THOSE ON THE TRIP AND THERE ARE PRIZES TOTALLING AROUND £250 IN VALUE!!! :shock: THERE IS EVEN A BRAND NEW PROFESSIONAL QUALITY TWO WAY RADIO (NOT THE USUAL ARGOS AND INTERNET SPECIALS WE ALL NORMALLY USE! :roll:  ).

He will let you know ASAP. Image: http://www.scnm.net/ e107_plugins/ coppermine_menu/ albums/userpics/ 48894%255B1%255D.jpg | ||

I spoke to Tigger today who says that he had some positive feedback to his advertising posters on his car at Beaulieu, and he's hoping for a couple more runners. I think we now have enough to make this a really memorable day, and if the weather holds this will make the views really spectacular! | ||
