It's such a shame that it's being held on the weekend before I get back from my travels (it is very tempting to come back early!). But sadly I won't be able to make the first of what will hopefully become an annual gathering. I hope it's a great day.

Although while in Sydney, Chris (db7gtgrigio - who was reunited with his dad's old E-Type viewtopic.php?t=3485) was kind enough to take me for a blast in his S2, over the Sydney Bridge and up to the twisty Old Pacific Highway. A fantastic morning out which relieved the withdrawal symptoms.

I don't' believe it, a picture of somebody on the forum. I thought we were all secret agents and could not be photographed. Very refreshing.

I have just spoken with Bicester who are very excited to be getting so many of us. They apologise for the delay in the booking link being up and running. She has been advised it will be on saturday the 6th February. We will see.

While ?6 odd is nothing, It really pigs me off when I see a service charge for for buying a tickets. As for insurance for buying a ?6 ticket then I wonder what the world is coming to.
Why the hell should we pay a service charge for buying a ticket. Who is doing who a favour. Rant over, look forward to seeing you all.😁

I am not having quite so much luck on the booking website. It doesn't appear to be working quite according its designers plans at the moment but I am sure it will settle down!

I am all sorted now, but I found I was waiting for the "continue" to pop up after selecting my choices, but it didn't. In fact I use an Apple Mac and it was not showing a full page or a slider to scroll down, but when you do there is the tab for continue. If you follow all that you are doing well! Excellent , roll on the good weather.

It'll be the browser as said above. Are you using Safari? Try Firefox. I find this often happens especially with smaller sites where they don't have the infrastructure to design for all browsers so go for the most commonly used.

It works fine on my iPad which I was slightly surprised by.
