Will do Guvnor - I'd liked to've let you know much earlier than today obviously but our weekly roster doesn't appear until the very last minute, it comes to us digitally now via our ipads under the new management system that's been foisted on us, we've complained about it no end but it falls on deaf ears. Fingers crossed I should know by about 4 / 5pm today, will text you the minute I find out. Didn't realise another squad member had already dropped out. Villain (Edit : I'm off to work in about ten minutes anyway, will see if I can find out a bit earlier) Ok. The irritating thing is that even I only heard at 7am this morning that "Get Carter" wasn't coming and I had to hear that from another member rather than directly from GC. It has really upset the applecart and left me in a right mess Gene. Gene, There's enough of us in the group to make the meet work and we'll ensure we have enough vehicles to cover requirements, albeit with some logistical discussions today and tomorrow in readiness for Sunday. I've just dropped anchor in the Bridge Hotel and having my first pint (in a thin glass) so I'm definitely coming as I'm already here. The 08:00 KX - Edinburgh suffered the electric loco burstng in the platform at York (maybe someone didn't want me to go up the north!). However, they had a replacement HST that everyone was put onto and I naturally went to the first class which was only right as Jack went FC from London. Looking forward to seeing everyone and we'll collectively make it happen.

I'm all set now. Travel tickets collected and printed, and I've even checked-in to the hotel - gave me the chance to order my breakfast After a day of travel, I'll be looking forward to meeting everyone in the lobby just before 6 for the trip around the hostelries of Pons Aelius Remember they're hard men, killers up there Windy they won't take too kindly to a Cider drinker poking his nose in. Still got your sense of humour DE.

I'm all ready for tomorrow morning, all I have to now is visit the cashpoint and withdraw some spending money. I've done some checks on the car filled it juice, so I can't wait to set off, which should be about 9:30AM at the latest. Looks like it's going to be a memorable weekend Charles.

That is really not good Gene, if people can't attend they should give more notice and let you know directly, especially when it could mess up the transport arrangements for the meet itself!

NAME | DRIVING | HOTEL BOOKED | No OF NIGHTS | CAR PARK BOOKED | Gene | RESERVE | YES | 2 | NO | The Saint | YES (4) | YES | 2 | YES | Steve Austin | YES (4) | YES | 2 | YES | Charles Bronson | YES (4) | YES | 2 | YES | Peter Picard | YES (4) | YES | 2 | YES | Sam Tyler | NO | YES | 2 | N/A | Del Boy | NO | YES | 2 | N/A | Vienna | NO | YES | 2 | N/A | Dirty Epic | NO | YES | 2 | N/A | Windy Miller | NO | YES | 2 | N/A | John Steed | NO | YES | 2 | N/A | Brown Granada | NO | YES | 2 | N/A | Carter | NO | YES | 2 | N/A | Villain | NO | N/A | N/A | N/A | Mickyosan | NO | YES | 3 | N/A | DC Burtonshaw | YES (4) | YES | 2 | YES | Regan | NO | YES | 2 | N/A |
TOTAL SO FAR:- 17 MEMBERS 5 CARS BOOKED (20 SEATS) AS YOU CAN SEE WE ARE NOW CRITICAL ON AVAILABLE SEATS. "Get Carter" has pulled out as of this morning and was a named driver. Things are also in the balance with Villain who can still attend but has to head home by 1pm - This renders it impossible for him to take passengers. This leaves us with the numbers above. We are still OK, but I have had to put myself forward as reserve driver. REMAINING DRIVERS THE SAINT / STEVE AUSTIN / CHARLES BRONSON / PETER PICARD / DC BURTONSHAW
IT IS NOW ENTIRELY DOWN TO YOU NOT TO LET THE REST OF THE SQUAD DOWN ON SUNDAY.
Gene.
