three day weeks rule


(only been working three days a week for the last few weeks )

Coming up to the Peak District with my wife on Wed and will be going to Chatsworth House and Repton ( Connection with CB Fry, famous cricketer, athlete and footballer living in Southampton area around 1900). My wife will see a relative when I visit Toyota. Looking forward to the visit.

HI, I'd be interested in attending on Friday, also give a lift to anyone else in the London area, please could you sent me the details to my e-mail

justin.cockett@btinternet.com

We'll need to check with Steve if there are any spare places available as he had to give the names when ordering the tickets.

Is Andy still going?

I thought I signed up for this ages ago - well at least it's been in my diary for ages - but I don't seem to have received/seen anything other than is on these posts. I thought I signed up via the calendar. Should I have received something? Am I on your list?

Could you post a list of everyone who's going?

Steve is in the States at the moment travelling back sometime soon so he may not see this to post a list. I'll send him a PM.

He did post [url="http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=32&t=6467&hl=toyota+factory"]this thread[/url] sometime ago asking for everyone to confirm their names. There was also [url="http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=32&t=6154&hl=toyota+factory"]this thread[/url] asking everyone to sign up.
