After the Smart Festival 10th of September 2011

[LadyV]

Afternoon All,

I thought I would start a new thread for this as I think the original Smart Festival thread is getting a bit overloaded with information- at least with this one we can have just information about the meet afterwards.

So everyone, please post in this thread if you are wanting to come to a pub after the Smart Festival for drinks, dinner and a catch up! The pub we went to last time is: http://www.handandspear.co.uk/

Please let me know if you are all up for this again this year.

So far I have:

LadyV
Fox
Mitchturbo +2


Please add your names to the list!
