1st September - GWS at Thornfalcon, Somerset.

[David]

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.

Last year we met up with others travelling south at the Gordano services (Junction 19 on the M5) and later at the Premier Inn, Blackbrook Tavern car park just off the M5.
Probably firm up on times closer to the date.
