Hi All

I finally got round to registering on the PH Forums yesterday and I'm just finding my way round.

I live in Rothwell and drive a 1998 Alfa 156 2.0, its on a R-plate and is one of the very first in the country and has only done 32,000 miles from new.

I'm a member of the Alfa Romeo Owners Club, Chairman of the South Mids Section and also a Management Team Member for the UK club as a whole.

As a section we meet once a month at The Grehound, Milton Malsor (which is a great venue) on the first Wednesday of every month except December.

I would post some pics of my baby, however I have only just bought this one and haven't got round to taking any yet but I will do in due course.

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

With regard to The Greyhound it is busy and the service is slow, however we are very well treated by the landlord.

I have been to various other Alfa meets and you tend to feel you are an inconvenience they don't need rather than good trade, afterall we regularly have 15-20 people turn up.

In the summer we have concours and this year 40-50 people turned up and we had our cars parked on the lawn.

The Trading Post I don't know that where is it?

Kettering, on the junction of the A14/A43 (Northampton road) It`s a sort of wild west theme pub. We chose it because it`s easy to find for newbies. A handfull of diehards show up on thursday nights.

Ok, sadly I won't be able to get there for the next few weeks due to work commitments.
