The first Scottish get together is planned for May 29th. at Callendar, and I would like to remind those members north of the border who still have not contacted me that they will be able to collect their Jaguar there. This may well be your last chance – so you have been warned. It is also a very good incentive to come!!
Well I think I will close now and go and find some dinner. My next chance to meet up with members will be at the NSCC /Hornby Hobbies event at Margate, but why must it be so far South? All that traffic!!!
Alan.
