Hopefully see folk around at future events.

Thanks for acting as postman from the factory with the warning triangle I didn’t even realise was missing!

I'm not 100% sure of the difference between an alpaca and a llama, but I'd definitely take a 'large sheep' jumper if one's going.

Sunday was cold. Saturday night warmed me right up though. Top work [mention]Alex Brandon-Smith[/mention] and co.

Brilliant, now that's a convo I would have been interested to be a part of! Obviously taste better when wearing an alpaca jumper too!

Thanks to everyone for making the effort. Lovely to see everyone and a number of better halves joining too. Karl, great work on brining the 'Mad. These things only work if supported so it is much appreciated.

Keep an eye on the regional meet ups and see you all at MSG!

Was good to see you again Dunny. Such a long way to come and see fellow Ariel nutters.

I was pleased Karl brought his Nomad, because despite the weather, just seeing it , and switching on that Honda VTec helped shake me out of the winter blues and made me look forward to spring even more.

Got back to a sunny Scotland just after 5pm yesterday,
Never let it be said that the Ariel club hasn't got an eclectic bunch of members! Topics of conversation ranged from socks to superchargers,bodybuilding [both types] to skid pans! My special favourite was whether Alpacas would be tasty with roast potatoes and a nice Chianti!
Very nice to see everyone.Looking forwards to spring and summer events.
Full marks to Karl for turning up in his Nomad.I hope you got home without anything snapping off in the cold mate.
Cheers to all.

I thoroughly enjoyed putting some faces against names on here. You're all quite mad, which is very comforting!

Hopefully see folk around at future events.

Looks like he did!

Right then chaps (and Karl's wife)!

Hopefully you will have had emails from The Warwickshire welcoming you. I will be arriving somewhere around mid afternoon with Graeme, and I think Andrew is intending to do similar. The hotel is actually across 2 sites, so you have the hotel and spa one end, and the golf club and conference facilities at the other end. The hotel will be chauffeuring us across to our private room for the evening, in it's best BMWs I gather!

Anyway, this means we need to ready to be taken across. If we can be congregated by 7.25pm in the main reception for transfer and drinks at 7.30pm.

Dinner will be for 8pm and we have the room with private bar until 12pm at which point we can transfer back to the resident bar at the hotel until we've had enough.

The rest of the time, you are free to use the spa facilities like pool, sauna, steam room etc and generally chill out. We often will meet in the bar on arrival or late afternoon anyway.

Breakfast is included in the room rate for those who booked via the reserved Ariel Club rooms and is served 7-10am I think.

Any questions, my number as always 07769971181.

Looking forward to seeing everyone. Safe journeys in what could be some pretty poor weather!

Alex
