The 29th is good for me - though I could probably do any of those days.

Shall we make the 29 th of July the official day then? If anyone doesn't object, then I will contact the museum to sort the parking arrangements. What time does everyone want to meet up? I was thinking lunchtime around 12 noon.

Me too, though i'll be on the ferry back into Portsmouth just 12 hours before, so don't be surprised if i'm a little vacant.

Ok it's a date. I'll contact the museum in the morning to arrange parking for us reprobates. Does anyone have a spare Citroen banner they can bring along for photo taking?

Sadly I can't make the 29th, but I am sure you will still have a nice time without me.

I have flags and bunting, and a BXProject banner. And a parasol somewhere.

I've rung the museum today, but just keep getting an automated reply. So I've sent them an email re the 29 TH of July. I wil try and contact them again tomorrow. I've advised them there will be approximately 10 cars attending. I think this is about right. Good news re the flags and bunting. Should make an excellent photo opportunity and make a nice entry into the BXclusive pages of the Citroenian, eh Tim. ;)
