:bow: Wes & BeefMasta :bow:

[JamesT]

that would be cool wes, will def be up for tagging along/ meeting up with anyone heading down here, the bridge/ hoe are fairly iconic features so may look good for a group pic or something. still seeing loads of ds's around the plymouth area, just no club members down here so it will be nice to meet a few like minded people, haha.

[lfcrule1972]

BeefMasta said he was v keen to see a hoe whilst we were travelling

[JamesT]

i fear he may be deeply disappointed with plymouth "hoe" then, haha

[lfcrule1972]

Maybe not, he's v relaxed about personal standards

I'll look into Plymouth area, we do have a bit of time leeway on the Saturday so it's a definite possibility. I've been quite busy over the weekend so will try and sort the petrol stops other stuff with Wes very soon

Haha it's ok you only have to fill up half as much as the rest of us

[Wes79]

I have just been sent £4 of shell vouchers so that will help! Haha.

On another point, we will prob need to book the hotels quite sharpish to get the good rates. I'll stick a list with dates shortly

I have just had an email from Premier Inn saying their sale starts tomorrow 75,000 rooms for £25

Thought this may be of use to everyone that is looking for rooms?
