Title: Where do we live ?
Post by: Joester on 11 August 2004, 13:22
I see a lot of threads asking about meets etc.
I was wondering if you could all just state what part of the country you live in ?
Then perhaps I could take the little beast out onto the mkI scene...

Leeds West Yorkshire for me, but I've been down south to VWoodstock at Hertfordshire county ground, GTi Festival and BugJam (both at Santa Pod) and hopefully going to VWAction in September. If you are prepared to travel then meeting up is easy peasy  :)

Soundillusion -
I know Rugby fairly well. Had a cousin there, and used to visit him. His parents were teachers at a school there too.
Not that big a town if I remember correctly.

Nah but it thinks it is!  Every other building is a pub or a bar and so many people live here now.  Its a wannabe city.  I'm used to either living in the sticks or living in the city, this place doesn't know what it is.  Building Hundreds of houses and new businesses now.  My old man used to teach at a school here too!

Although I live in Bristol, my partner lives in Frome.  We will be moving back to my house in September, hopefully when the Golf's on the road.   Probably stay in Bristol for a year (She's due to drop a sprog in December) and will then hopefully move to Kensham (her family are Marksbury/Timsbury way).

I will started a new Job in the company on 6th September and will be up in Windy Thurso at leat 4 times a year and then odd trips in between.

Maybe catch up one day when not rushing through.
