I'll try and get something together over the next week or so 🙂 Southampton likely to be mid-March - we'll probably follow a similar programme to 2016 🙂

I'd be very interested in attend if you do organise a meet up in Southampton area. Do you attend the DWP day for the south region each year. I found last years was a bit of a let down.
I also attend the local events at Eastleigh .

Hi Rachel, I have been to a DWP day a couple of years ago, but couldn't make it last year. It would be great to meet you in Southampton - I will put the dates up soon 🙂
 
Scotland meet would be great
 
I'd once again try to make onevthis year... hopefully with some more success!
 
Just so you know - immediately south of the M5 exit for Birmingham city centre (Jct 3) is a viaduct carrying the motorway which literally has hardly been been touched since they first opened the M5 (it started there and finished at Tewkesbury) they will shortly be starting major roadworks. These will be ongoing for 18 months or so. Down to 2 lanes each way on one side, subsequently on the other side till they eventually reopen it fully whenever that might be.

Methinks there will definitely be delays whenever they actually get going!
 
Southampton is about three days away from me, and that's with a following wind. I know where I'm not wanted, I'd lower the tone.

Now Glasgow, on the other hand, is two and a half hours...not Edinburgh, please. Too posh for the likes of me and Hazel. Glasgow's easy for Carolg too, whose poshness I don't know about.🙂

No poshness here. An Oakley lassie at heart but my mum was English so we were supposed to speak properly and politely. Mmm not bad for a wuman who was a brummie but a lovely lady. Glasgow is easy for me (2 1/2 hours) from bus and hop skip and trip to the pub.
