Gibbo Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share #21 Posted April 9, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) I can understand that things may be somewhat 'up in the air' round yours at the moment what with the new arrival and things but ...... you'll be pleased to learn that you're a month early with your apology for absence as it isn't the 28th April just yet Congrats on the baby and hope all are well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Hi Gibbo, Take a look here Yet another Bristol meet?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Keith (M) Posted April 9, 2013 Share #22 Posted April 9, 2013 Will have to take a rain-cheque on the meeting as I will now be in France on that particular day. A pity as I was looking forward to meeting everyone - but in this instance, the potential delights of France beats those of Bristol... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebidwell Posted April 21, 2013 Share #26 Posted April 21, 2013 What a shame we didn't have our Bristol Meet yesterday. Trisha and I went for a tour of the BBC studios in Clifton and after we had finished we walked back down into town. Both Clare Street and Corn Street were heaving, it was full of cars, bikes and scooters. I think it must have been around the same time as we met last year. The only difference was we had lots of sunshine yesterday. So fingers crossed for next Sunday Best wishes Mike B Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbo Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share #29 Posted April 23, 2013 Good stuff, that's three of us and Dave Bevan is going to turn up around lunch time all being well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted April 28, 2013 Share #30 Posted April 28, 2013 it was a very pleasant day spent in Bristol although the turnout was disappointing - just three of us this time. Perhaps we can tempt more to the next Bristol meeting since the city has so much history and there is so much to see and do. Some shots from the day. All 50 f/1 Noctilux with M9-P. Pete. Woah!

mikebidwell Posted April 28, 2013 Share #32 Posted April 28, 2013 Hi Guys Once again I didn't make although up until late Thursday evening I fully intended to be with you. However when you're told "Oh! Lynne and Marc are taking us out for dinner on Sunday and the table is booked for 13:30" its not wise to say no. Never turn down a free lunch. So my apologies but from Petes images it looks as though you had an interesting time? Best wishes Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbo Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share #33 Posted April 29, 2013 Thanks to Pete and Dave B for turning up. Also thanks to Mike Bidwell and Robert Parker for their apologies. Despite the low turn out it was still good to meet up and spend a few hours on the harbour-side. Had no idea the bus display would be there but it certainly gave us something of interest to look at and photograph. There's always something of interest around in Bristol! I was wondering if I'm missing a trick here so I thought I'd throw this open and ask people what they would like from a meet in Bristol to encourage them to join in? I am aware that one thing that has been mentioned is the balloon festival which I have resisted so far as, in recent years, it has been cancelled as many times as it has taken place due to inclement weather. And on a selfish note, it has clashed with my holidays Perhaps organising the London meet to fall the day before didn't help? We did move the Bristol meet to avoid Whitby. If you have any input I'd love to hear from you as I'd like to try and arrange something that people would like to come along to. After all, Pete and I could just ring each other up and get together without involving the forum And it might be an idea to let social secretaries know we have something arranged before they go ahead and double book Mine knows she'd soon be divorced otherwise I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post photos as I was without a Leica as my M2 is away having a CLA at the moment?

mikebidwell Posted April 29, 2013 Share #34 Posted April 29, 2013 Yeah!!! and after seeing the images of the Bristol Bus display I'm more than hacked off that I couldn't make. However, the one consolation was that lunch at 'The George Hotel' in Broad Street Chipping Sodbury was really excellent. So for any locals I'd thoroughly reccomend it, not an overly large menu but superb quality. Best wishes Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
