We met at TGIs in Meadowhall shopping centre, just off the M1. This provided an opportunity to meet up with our more northerly contingent - in fact, it turned out to be very convenient for a number of people, and will definitely be added to the map of useful meeting places.

We certainly turned a few heads with our line-up and there was lots of useful information exchanged. Even the staff of the restaurant were asking about "where all the Volvos came from?!?".

It was particularly nice to meet Dave B Slater - even though he wasn't feeling very well, and couldn't stay for lunch, (shame - because the food was excellent). He bought along some useful bits and bobs which can be obtained through DBS Motorsport.

Several members had absolutely beautiful examples of the 850 model, some of which were concourse winners! I need to get the polish out the next time I head up here….
