Totally agree, it's a tired format now just recycling old gags. It's about 5 years overdue a makeover (like 2 of the presenters).

What, me or him (allegedly)?

Does Quentin 2 L's like willy Willson show you how to wind the mileage back?

Is that a Brother sewing machine?

They fit like a glove.

Arrive early, if you go home you won't come out again.

Note that the screws are somtimes left hand thread.

Next Wednesday, 25th February , 7pm onwards, Malt Shovel Pub, Coventry Road, Nr Stonebridge, Coventry, CV7 7HL https://maps.google....ingdom&t=m&z=15 Entrance to pub car park is off the A452 Chester Road heading North 50 yards from the island. See you there!

Plastic column cowls seem to be hard to find now.

Looking good

Great to see everyone who turned up - 38 for the food and one other for a drink and chat a bit later. Nice to put some faces to a few names and it's fair to say we seemed to take the place over.

Final reminder for tomorrow night, I've got 40 people booked in and possibly a few others who'll turn up as well so it's a big turnout. The venue can still cater for a few more latecomers so don't be put off if if you've not already committed. There should be a new faces coming along and I'm sure that they can count on a warm welcome. See you all there.

Alan has reminded me that there's a 20% off voucher offer availabe if you sign up to the Toby newsletter. I've not checked the full T's and C's but it might be worth a look. http://www.tobycarvery.co.uk/stonebridgeislandmeriden/offer/january20percentoff15/

Tack welded nuts to the tubes on mine - not dropped off yet. I'll bring my small welder, some taps and a big box of assorted fasteners just in case.

Look on the bright side, it's not like the weather is exactly great at the moment. You'll get your registration soon hopefully and they'll be plently of time to enjoy the car when the weather improves.

Everything you need to know should be here thanks to Longboarder's legendary wiring diagrams: http://nw.rhocar.org/mini_wiper_motor_wiring.htm

You should have got a list with your membership pack of members in your local area which would be a start. (List from end of 2014 indicated over 20 members). It might also be worth looking through some of the old events posts for the Staffs meetings and see who confirmed that they'd attend. It's worth remembering that there may well be forum users (as opposed to club members) who'd be interested and the only way to contact them would be to stick a post on here so as a starting point I'd get a new event posted and take it from there. Hopefully someone who's on here who attended the meetings in the past will be able to give some idea of the attendance (attendees)?

List updated. Filling up nicely and looking set to beat last years attendance.

Just to add to what Steve has said, if you started with the same venue and dates as the previous Staffs meets it might be easier to get something up and running again because previous attendees will know where to go. I'm very fortunate that I've got a great bunch of guys in my area who make my job easy - I basically just post the meetings on the forum and they turn up. There's a core of about 8 people who'll always turn up and then the remainder who come when they can make it. Interestingly we still get a lot of people turn up who never come on the forum or maybe come to one meeting in the summer - they just know where and when we meet (which has been the same for years). My predecessor in the Area Secretary role did a lot of work building up our meeting to the state it is now but when he stood down and I took over, I knew I wouldn't be able to devote as much time to it as he did, so I just try and keep the meetings going and keep in touch with people as best I can. For me the most important thing is that members in my area know that there are other members that they can contact if they need help or advice and that they shouldn't be afraid to ask.

What do you mean by standard ECU - Sierra efi? What have you got and what are you trying to do?

5 pin will still do the job.

Done. I know we've got a few members who don't use the forum so I'm going to try and contact them seperately to see if they want to come along.

I've got Gaz's at the moment, plenty big enough to stick on the drive and work around the car.

Spoke to Gaz today and I think he's available Saturday too. Might be worth bringing the GAZebo over if it's not too windy and we need shelter outside.

Peugeot 309 or 405, pretty sure they're all the same
