Pembroke Pat Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Speedy Jon has suggested the Harvester at M4 Jn 36 for the First Meet. Petrol nearby and a large car park. No Donuts allowed as we don't want an ASBO. The date is Wednesday, 26th of January. 7:30 for 8 I suggest we see what turn out we get and taylor the future location to match. Also perhaps we could have a chat about organising a trip to Llandow for a little bit of fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Hi Pat Count me in but I will be in the tin top as still not sorted with the insurance man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Jackson Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Yep I`ll be there, (possibly with SWMBO). May be in the tin top though depending on weather as we still dont have any side screens etc!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pembroke Pat Posted January 5, 2005 Author Share Posted January 5, 2005 You don't need sides screens but I find that a good pair of safety specs (i.e. clear eye wear) is ideal in the westie at night without side screens. Having said that I won't turn up in the westie if it is seriously persisting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbin Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I've got it in the diary so hope to see you all there Side screens?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbin Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Any chance of confirming precise location..... Have got a couple of people interested, but none of us familiar with exactly where pub is situated. Have tried looking on Harvester website, but only one listed there is nearer A48 than M4.......

Pembroke Pat Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 I thought it was the Harvester next to Sainsbury and MacArthur Glen. Speedy Jon suggested the location. So Jn 36, take exit towards Bridgend then at next roundabout take the turn towards Sainsbury. Finally turn right to Harvester Car park. Speedy Jon, Correct me if I am wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedy jon Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 hi all, if your comin from cardiff way - get off at J35 then take the 2nd exit off that round-about (you will see the harvester on your left next to the travel inn hotel) once you have taken the 2nd exit you will see the odeon in front of you.take the 1st left on this road. now you will be goin round the back of the travel inn.then take the next left and go up a slight hill. (on the right is the large car park which is normally quiet towards the far end, this is where i think might be best to park up cos were out the way and as long as we dont do any burnouts ect we should be fine) if your coming from swansea way-you take the 4 exit of this round-about, now your crossing the motorway heading towards another round-about. (this is the round-about i mentioned above) now just follow the directions above and you'l be there. hope that makes sence. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy jon Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 oppps i got that wrong you get off at J36 not J35 (cos thats pencoed) but the directions i gave about are correct part from the J35 bit. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
