Following the news that yet another of the old PH crew has passed away in the lounge, and the comments of a poster on his RIP thread I'm reminded that physical meets have gone from being fairly regular to rare on here. For me at least.

I remember some great nights out around York and Leeds, cinema nights in Leeds and tunnel runs and some outstanding early morning runs. Well the cinema nights are probably a lot of work, I don't fancy being billy no mates on a night out if no-one turns up, but I don't care if I go for a pleasant drive early one Sunday morning.

So is anyone up for it, can't be for a couple of weeks as I've got a bit on, but if we want one Sunday the 6th or 13th of July I will throw one together.

Nice early start, start location central but East Yorkshire (probably not far from Howden/Selby etc.) taking in some nice roads, find somewhere for breakfast at the end.

Ok lets do it.

Date 13th July. 6am for 6.30 depart. Location tbc night before. General area Howden/Selby/York ISH.

I'll set a WhatsApp group up if you want to send me your number. It's easier than the round robin email.

Stick yourself below.

Oli, I'm up for this, if the mini stops playing silly buggers for long enough. (The MX5 resting til August.)

I need to ring you about the other half's rusty Datsun too, I keep forgetting!

I remember those days too! Great idea!

Sadly can’t make that day but would be up for a run another time, I could organise a Dales dawn raid maybe.

Be nice to see you again Dave..I've not forgotten about Nissan don't worry, I'll be calling you once a bit of room has appeared! You'll be fine in mini on the run.

Good call Steve, if you do stick my name down for it. We need to get this a regular thing again.

I’m not sure I have an appropriate car, but I’d be interested in a run again (that said, the pre-Motorist drive with giveitfish was the most fun I’ve had in a car in ages).

I can’t make the 13th as I’m away, but will attend future ones if I can!

No can do, as work weekends now.

Obviously selected few do get booked off, but difficult to make it happen.

I'm not the best socially but know I need to try and work on this so I'd be interested in being pencilled in for anything going forward, the 13th might not be one I can do though.

My car's crap too but if it's running I'll try and coax it out for a drive.

I've noticed The Motorist have started making more noise about Wednesday evenings recently if that works better for those unable to do weekends but obviously it doesn't need to have a specific destination to work.

13th doesn't work for me either but I'll keep tabs for future run outs. Saturdays are my best day generally as SWMBO works them and I don't rofl

I'm on the way back from some Highland Games on the 13th, but generally interested in anything in the future (Thirsk based, just for information).

Id be interested in this. 13th shouldn't be a problem.
May know 1 or two others that may be interested too.
