1st September - GWS at Thornfalcon, Somerset.
« on: 03 July 2013, 10:39:36 AM »
As a number of SaabTechTalk'ers (?) joined us last year, this is just a brief post to say we will be going again!

The event is free to enter & although this is a classic car meet, modern vehicles will also be attending in droves- last year was around 1,100 vehicles!
All Saab owners will group together so let's see if we can beat last years 20-strong Saab clan!

I have requested a bit more space on a flatter part of the field.

I have received an email from the organisers to confirm we have a dedicated SAAB area for 25 cars at this event.
If you decide to come, just let the man at the gate know you are with the GWS SAAB stand.

PM me (David) if you would like to join us or leave a message here.
Also 'collecting' from Sedgemoor Services
FROM YEOVIL: Contact Robin Morley or leave a message here.
Will (SGould) is also coming, so you may wish to meet up with him along the way

If you would like to join in 'along the way' then again let me know and we will try to organise meeting up.
