How did this go in the end?

I got tied up with family stuff so couldn't attend.

The event was pretty good considering the weather was poor. I did take my B7, but being diverted down Sussex country lanes was not great and cleaning job the day after for me. The location was good, enough room and a fair few different cars.

Worth going when the weather has improved. Pub has wide range of food and was very busy.

Been to the Red lion pub many times as I used to work for ML!

I meant how did the meet go? Good turn out of cars?

And will it become a regular thing?
