all those already going, and for anyone else interested in coming along, i have organised a local meet in bamber bridge this Wednesday, and maybe every wed after that, depending on interest.
heres the directions:
When you come off motorway follow sign's for Bamber Bridge and you come to a set of light's go straight through you will see B&Q on the left and sainsburys on right turn rigth at sainsburys and Poachers is on left they do good food and are child friendly with kids play area.
If you are coming up on the M61 come off at junc 2 turn left and follow M65 to end you will come to roundabout turn right and Poachers will be on left.

hope that covers it Wink

Hi all

Nice to have met some of you. Laurie (the 4 yr old) is now asleep so no longer pulling at me and demanding that I take him home......

Nice to see some loverly Delis with a few bits of bling. Lyndon (middle sprog) now wants privacy windows and wants to know why EVERYONE has a cooler Deli than me.

Until the next one I can make

9 year olds are SOOOOOOO shallow. I like the fact I still accellerate through 90 on a slight upward incline because of the low weight of the 2WD. Must admit that I do wish I could have the occasional mud bath though.

Debbie is of the view (after 4 weeks ownership) that when we come to replace the tank we will do so with another Deli, but she will allow me to be a big kid and get a 4WD.

But as Laurie (4 yr old) says "get out of the way, we're in a Deli!"
