Panda Mo and I are in assuming Barbara's recovery goes to plan.
Excellent!
AndyPanda4x4 hope you are in!
andyholli - I doubt it will be the 4x4 even if ready, unless it turns out to defy expectations and be a motorway flyer like yours.

Right dudes,
A couple of us have sorted a weekend out to meet up and start organising the ins-and-outs of the trip to Italy. Anyone wanting to contribute is welcome, and ofcourse it will be greatly appreciated - especially if you have been before!
The meeting weekend will be the Saturday & Sunday 31st Jan / 1st Feb in Harrogate.
I am proposing we have the actual discussions on the Saturday afternoon/evening, and the there was talk of a small 4x4 excursion or tarmac drive on the Sunday.
I won't upgrade us to an event thread for this as I don't think there's any need, so if you'd like to join us stick your name down here.
If some people can't make it I am sure we can sort some kind of facetime operation out aswell!

The gathering is 12th - 13th - 14th June, so looking at a week either side of that weekend too

:doh: We'll be passing through Harrogate area the following weekend but will be on our honeymoon in north east Scotland at the time of the meeting.
I'm sure you'll do a fine job without us though, but we will be coming to Italy! :slayer:
Definitely can't make 31st I'm afraid Think of me still trying to dig idiots out of their accounts hole & chasing round to stop them getting SA filing penalties!! I hate December, and January's much worserer than that!! :bang:
If you have snow in Yorkshire on the 31st I'll
Oh well, got to pay for Panda's somehow........

No worries Gav, we'll be thinking of you whilst you yourself are snowed under in paperwork
What about the weekend after for people? Would that enable Palio and VmanC to come and still be good for everyone else?
Just I'm planning on rearranging something for the 31/1st to be able to make this, but am free on 7/8 Feb also, so if changed to then it could benefit a few others also?
Ignore me if it mucks too much up though

Should be fine for me, I'll have to see what andyholli and aquamarine say later
Both weekends suites me fine. Unfortunalely rather in 2wd as sisley needs major work before mot day.

Where's that groan smiley??!
Happy to switch to the weekend later if more of us can congregate. Planning will be fun but nowhere near as much fun as the trip itself...
