I have not talked to anyone about this idea yet, but we are aware of certain lucky buggers who are retired and meet up sometimes for brunch. Plenty of truck stop venues for this, but there are other places. In the lighter months, I also like to fly. (It goes around corners the same as a bike, so I think it counts). There are several airfield cafes that seem to be as populated by bikers as pilots, so how about a meet-up at one of these as another event (or events) during this year ? Unlike the ride-out meetings, this would be a short notice and informal sort of thing. Wellebourne Mountford has a great cafe, Sywell, Leicester, possibly even Tatenhill or Turweston. If there was any interest I would be happy to check opening times and availability. One other thought for anyone local-ish to Nantwich, I will have an empty seat. So if your project is still in bits, drive over and fly there with me. This could be an excellent run out to meet the others and make new contacts. Might even be worth a day off work....
Let me know what you think.

Going on maps to see how far Nantwich is as we speak

What a completely awesome idea. I'm over next month, I'd love to attend one of these meetings?

Just had the first flight of 2023 yesterday. Got a few servicing and upkeep jobs to do, but it is good to be flying again.

I will plot our locations on a map and draw the “Middle” Duffer can then look for a landing spot

If that empty seat is not booked, I will have to collect CTB from Tatenhill to save him the disadvantage of such a long trip.
