See you all on Saturday.

A job well done in organising this event, frequent and informative updates which have elicited excellent support from the membership making your efforts worthwhile.
I just hope the weather plays ball on the day.

It is going to rain but will bw all good

No time to clean today, but pulled the cover off ready to hit road in morning. Once the little man's in bed I will get back out to check oil and tyre pressures ready for an 0900 leave in morning. Says approx 1hr50 to the pub start for me, but I'll be taking a steady plod along the A55 and M56. 3/4 of a tank, wander if I can do the 100 miles each way and drive on it......

I'm going to get through a lot of fuel! Filled up in Milton Keynes this morning. Will do the MK social tonight and then drive up the M1. Fair chance I'll need to refuel before we do the run, and will definitely need to top up before the return journey to Reading.

My car hasn't been cleaned in a while and black cars are the worst for dirt.

Only prep I've done is inflate my tyres. Could do with looking into why my rear left brake is making noises, but oh well

Car cleaned, oil checked, screenwash topped up... About to depart for a longish drive up. Hopefully I don't hit too much traffic!

Mazdadaz, (Darrel)
did you pick up your private message I sent you this morning? as I might need a bit of assistance navigating the route tomorrow and you have two people in your car for the drive...

[DaveKimberley]

I now have two passengers, Rupi and Pam.

Hi Laurence, I only saw these earlier this evening & have sent you a whatsapp

[Ollie]

Just got to the travelodge. My maps decided to die on the m60 so Id missed the junction I needed by 2! Only a 5 to 10 minute detour thankfully.

Just under 230 miles.. And a quarter of a tank left.. Going to be a trip to the fuel station tomorrow morning.. Then probably fill up before going home.

[MightyCondor]

Also arrived at a Travelodge having driven 80 miles full of my first Xmas dinner of the year at the MK meet. Get to drive across the Peaks coming from the South East in the morning. Should take about 70 minutes.

[Ollie]

I was tempted to drive that way. But as it was dark I felt it'd be wasted!

I have to say guys, top effort in travelling those distances to join in this event! Looking forward to meeting with you all in a few hours' time.

It's the Bucks/Bed/Herts/Northants meet. Is on the forum. Wasn't a proper Xmas meet, but the pub has already started offering a festive menu.

Hitting the road.....in heavy rain....hopefully 100 miles later will not be as wet.

[Stokesyjnr]

We arrived last night after a pretty much straightforward journey up M5 & M6 to our friends b&b near Ashbourne. Says just over an hours drive to the pub.

Car is still kinda shiny

[Ollie]

It is unsurprisingly a drizzly northern day.

Did I mention the possibility of cake?

[Krameht]

Free set of 231 headlamps are coming too
first to claim them has them

[Krameht]

Final update, cars a non starter so have fun sorry milluminations

[Nanotrox]

Great day out, I’ll get videos and pictures up when I can on a google drive link apologise, they are not the best. Full video for the drive probs won’t be up till new year sorry!

Was a fantastic day and some great laughs, hopefully be at the next one with my own car, sorry for anyone stuck behind our slow ass

[HarSc]

Absolutely mega day, really enjoyed the drive great to see everyone again too, along with some new faces

[thatturborx8]

Fantastic day out,great drive,great organisation,good food,good people!
Thanks to Lawrence (Miluminations) for organising the event.
Here are a few pics i have taken

[Cscameron]

Great day as always

Mini convoy with Harry to start the day, assistant secretary face planted into a puddle (which she thought was hilarious), awesome drive, great food, better company

Only thing missing was Flos She won't miss the next one!

[DrewR3]

Agreed. It was a good day, shame the weather didn't play ball and the semi slicks only had 1 or 2 moments of worry.

Enjoyed the drive, if there is a way to miss out that town centre next time somehow it would be good. Really enjoyed the food though, having poked my head in to ask for Ollies cake, very impressive by the x1 young chef working in there with our large group and a full bar. Lawrence please extend our thanks for the effort the venue put in to sort us out. Was well worth the food price.

Apologies to those I did not get chance to speak to fully for catch ups, it sounded like you all had a good chat while we were in the meeting. It worked well to have the CMs together and with something more than just driving a long way to sit in a conference room, was nice to have an event though the downside was missing the socialising in-between. Drive and food.

I actually remembered some pictures of my car this time:
