Not long until we all know where its going to be : ) any guesses? I'm a little excited already. Hopefully as far from my house as possible - the distance makes for fun times. So, Lands end, John O' Groat, Rockall? As long as there's a nearby supermarket to fill the icebox to keep my beers nicely chilled, and enough like minded people mooching around, I'm sure we'll all be pretty happy to turn up to the event of the year. |

For purely selfish reasons (I live 15 minutes away and missed camping with Bruce and Po etc) I'm kind of glad it's somewhere further away. Goodwood would be absolutely sublime, but I won't hold my breath on that one. I'm sure whatever David/Simon & Co. have managed to get will be AWESOME. It'll need to be, to surpass the rest  |

Don't say Donington! Won't be worth me camping  How's about Oulton Park? Or Elvington? |

I'd love it be at donington, just round the corner; no really, so when my turbo blows a few days before the gathering after struggling for months to prep the car, I can just push it there ;p

It's been comfirmed. Tonight. At The Ace Cafe.
Midland Automobile Club only usually post their own events on their website, similarly Bugatti OC/Prescott never listed The Gathering on theirs.
