The Rustic Roadtrip

Blocky10 · 05-08-2017, 21:25

Hi guys and gals.
We've all been reading how Rustic is battling with his health, and a while back, suggestions were made about having a meet somewhere in Uncle Rustic's neck of the woods. (Staffordshire)
I'm posting this to "Rally the Troops" and organise a mini meet with the hope Richard and Roz will be able to visit and say hi.

I understand it's holiday season and not everyone can make the same date due to holidays and work commitments, but could I ask you all to respond with possible dates and we'll see what unfolds.

To Rustic.
We would appreciate your input too for possible meeting points and dates.
Obviously you are under no obligation to attend. We a very aware of your circumstances and if, on the day, you cannot make it, we totally understand.

Count me in brother, wherever and whenever

jims-terrano · 05-08-2017, 21:34

Count me in too. Second weekend in September and last weekend in September are the only real difficult weekends for me.

don simon · 05-08-2017, 21:50

Let us know a date. I have flexibility.

Blocky10 · 05-08-2017, 21:52

Great start guys.
I'm away training 2nd weekend Sept for 3 weeks. 1st 2 weeks at Stone bizarrely

I am able to do anytime this month though.

I'm self employed, away 4th - 10th Sept, sort out a date, I'll make it if I can.

May I suggest we don't get over complicated (like the last time we suggested this) and just meet "round the corner" from Rustic at lunchtime for a brew/picnic/cuppa for as long as people wish to stay.

We don't need to keep a thick mat of it on our bodies as it's warmer down here, and it's "grim oop norf".

2nd and or 3rd Sept are good for me, Rick
