Sunday 20th December: .. christmas lights and santa..no rain

[Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO]

I have come home from work tonight and Glen has FORBID me to go in the garage. So, I guess the car has some form of decoration on it and he has told me he has got his Santa suit. I will be at work until late tomorrow too, so it will all be a surprise for me on Saturday morning.

 

The weather forecast is proving inconclusive at the moment, not that it will stop you Russ, you maniac . It better be dry or the reindeer gets it.

I don't think there is anything inconclusive about the weather forecast, it is going to rain its just when and how much that is variable……I can see lots of blown fuses and soggy santa suits!!!!!

Are we still meeting at Halfords after you collect Russ..or are we now meeting at Matlock?

The forecast is getting better...can I throw away the strait jacket undergarments

The weather may be warmer than previous outings but the Met office is forecasting rain, rain, rain for Saturday!!! Sunday is looking much drier, is there any chance of a postponement for 24hrs?

 

What do the collective think?

Sunday is ok for me

I cant do Sunday, however I was just about to come on to say it looks like I wont be able to come anyway as my bl**** brake lights are flickering on and off....

Thats a shame Russ, obviously too much water in the works, what have we told you about splashing about in the big puddles

Sunday is great for us. See you at Halfords Sunday 10am.

 

Come on Russ, make it happen.

If someone wants to come over and fix it for me, feel free! I know what the problem is, the pedal has come a bit loose...

 

I really cant do Sunday, sorry - my 2 year old niece is over from Australia and its her birthday party... (thats the real reason i cancelled my other plans )

Hi! Mrs Santa, sorry Mrs Bioman has now expressed a wish to join you all on Sunday (if that's to be the day?). As she doesn't drive the Westie it means I will have to come along. Is that OK? Richard & Liz

[Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO]

I'm sure we all would love to see you both…..

Excellent news, it will be lovely to see you Richard and Liz  , get the snowman suits on! It will be a shame that Russ is going to miss this as it is going to be so much fun, fun, fun. I have been allowed in the garage tonight and Glen has been, shall we say.....busy with the tinsel 

 

I have set the route tonight and sorted the lunch stop. We need to set off at 10am from Halfords. Please be aware there are no refreshments there and the toilets are on the back wall of Homebase. I expect to be at the pub for 12.00. There will be the opportunity for petrol in 30 miles from Ashbourne.

 

So it is Sunday 20th December 10am Halfords Ashbourne DE6 1DU       

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

Just had a thought, as you do, now that we are meeting on a Sunday and not a Saturday, Homebase will not open until 10am. The toilets are in Homebase, so you will have to cross your legs until then. We will therefore set off at 10.05 am.

Had an excellent day out with the Peak District WSCC. It's just over 12 months since Mr & Mrs Bioman turned up for the first meet. In this time we've met some lovely people and some serious fun. Already looking forward to 2016. Well done Julie (and Glen)have a lovely Christmas fellow members and a Happy New Year!

Oh hopefully a few pics of today?

Spot the Black Sheep and did you know there are flying Pigs :-)

An excellent day with the usual fantastic routes chosen by Glen and Julie. Good to meet some new people.

A good day out for the daft Midlands clan....making people smile (both adults and kids). Now looking for bunny suits for Easter..

There rain during  the last 10 minutes of the trip home...so nearly a dry run.  darn good for a December though

Looking forward to more photos and 2016.
