Hi Andy & Anita,

Please count Tansy and me in.

When we were chatting with Anita she said there was a Travel Lodge near you, I have just checked their web site and there are three in Eastbourne!! Which one would you recommend?

Phil

Hi Phill will be good to have u and Tansy down

Theres a premier inn just ten min walk away on the a22 Polegate

Thanks for the info Andy. Will book a room.

simons getting confused (easily) its sunday we all come to you nita  isnt it :)

I'm not easily confused mate.  ;D Unless it's dark, I'm far away from home and I've had a few!  ;D :D Thing is Jas, we usually make a weekend of it at A&A's so I'm not confused at all - in fact as Al Murray's Pub Landlord would say "I've never been confused!" :D ;)

See you all in Eastbourne then!  ;) ;D :D

Hope you've slept if off now mate  ;D see you at nita's :)

well the route is pretty much done with a slight differance this year, but still using the o/s 199 map
at the moment finishing at bwell water.

we both looking forward to you all here again

Andy 

Ok peeps we are all set for sunday can you get here for 10,00-10,30,
thinking of starting the run abt 11,00 and theres a short drive to the start off
point.

Looking to see you all

Andy+Anita

ps if you want to come earlier you more than welcome,you might even get breakfast.

Count us in Andy, although we'll probably have a 'wounded soldier' with us in Ashley ::) He had a bad 'crash' on his BMX last week and dislocated his left knee. He's been in a knee-brace since Wednesday and is back to hospital tomorrow for another x-ray and if it's bad news then he'll need surgery - here's hoping it will be good news! ::) If he has surgery then I'm not sure what our plans will be.....watch this space. :-\

Who'd have kids??? ???

Very sorry to hear about Ashley. Please wish him a speedy recovery and hopefully he won't need the operation. Let me know if he'd like me to bring him a walking stick (I have several  :-[) for Sunday  ;D

Thanks Theo. He probably won't need the stick as the hospital have given him a set of crutches ::). He's in x-ray this morning so here's hoping all is fine. ;D

A quick update in case there's any interest :D Ashley had more x-ray this morning and saw the surgeon who told him that he's not broken any bones but must stay off his BMX for a month :o which whilst it hasn't pleased him at least he's not in need of an operation nor is he in plaster from ankle to thigh! ::)

So, looks like the Abarth will yet again be loaded down with the entire Ryle Family for this Sunday's East Sussex run.

Glad to hear that Ashley is well enough to travel, it will be good to see you all again. A month off the BMX is harsh can't he get a second opinion ???

Can someone let me know the adress where we will be meeting at on Sunday? As I have not been before.

Thanks

If we're meeting at A&A's all I can tell you Phil is that I know where it is when I'm parked outside! :o ::) ;D And I've been there several times before! ;D :D ;) It's somewhere in Eastbourne though, well Polegate actually, I can tell you that much. ;) 8)

Thanks guys for emailing me the address I look forward to seeing everyone in Polegate, near Eastborne, just look for the 131s ;D ;D

theo and mark and hopefully me will be meeting at m25 junction 29 roundabout   turning to codham hall ln
 to farm about 8.30 am
    if lynne 's coming ill meet you later at   bewl water s

Thanks to Neet & Andy for another fantastic day on Sunday.

It was so good to meet up with everyone again and have a jolly in the remote winding narrow lanes of wild Sussex  ;D

I haven't been to many events this year but this mini-meet was a hoot, I hope that the other attendees had as much fun too.

The Treasure Hunt result was a tiebreaker won by Simon (+Wendy, Ashley & Kerry).

Theo (+Shannon) was/were beaten at the post by Si who was nearest in guessing how many pages there are in Andy's oily/thumbed Haynes 131 manual....... nail biting stuff indeed  :D ;) ;D

Sharon and me are Looking forward to next years meet which will take place on the footpaths & bridleways of East Sussex...... opps that was this year wasn't it?  :D ;D ;) ;D

Well done A&A   ;) 

Absolutely fabulous day. Many thanks to Andy and Anita for their superb hospitality and for organising a great day for all of us to enjoy. Special thanks from me to Shannon for being my excellent and expert navigator for the treasure hunt. And if Andy's Haynes 131 manual wasn't missing a few pages then Shannon and I would have won the treasure hunt  ;) ;D

Just like to add my thanks to Andy and Anita for their very hard work and excellent hospitality over the whole of the weekend. Thanks to you both!  :-* Wendy and I know only too well what it takes to stage such an event as well as cater for us all - both before and after - with loads of excellent food! It was a pleasure to attend and we are already looking forward to next years 'run'!

Great to see all my 'Fiat Mates' too - it seems to have been a pretty quiet season this year on the 131 front - perhaps because the weather was such pants!! Still, it's not over yet - Auto Italia at Gaydon on 10th (which I can't be at unfortunately :-\) and Rally Day at Castle Combe on the 17th September - so lets hope the sun has got his hat on!!

Thanks again Andy and Nita - we all had a great time! Back to the diet now.... ;)

I would like to add my thanks also to A&A, my comments really are the same as already posted. A great day with great people, all made possible by lots of hard work from Andy & Anita and their wonderful hospitality.

Thanks for all the wonderful food, I am sure my 131 was slower on the way home due to all the extra weight I was carrying ;D ;D   

Thanks to everyone who took part we had a great time and it was great to see you all,eveyone done well i think it must be to easy for you all now.

so heres to to next year,longer,harder and a night stage too ;D

Andy+Anita

Oh yes, a night stage will be great Andy! I think we all need to fit extra 'rally lights' beforehand though! ;) ;)

Looks like a very nice meeting and that you had a lot of fun!
