Hi Alex

Thanks, looking forward to it as first Beta event for a few years, so will be good to catch up and meet some new folk (to me).

Also booked for two nights.

Like Peter, hope the car behaves.

I've just added it to the Dart Charge account. The account was inactive as I hadn't used it. They
sent an email telling me so. Bit daft in these times of travel restrictions!

I'm looking forward to it.

Hi Everyone - not long to go now and I hope you are as excited as I am to seeing you and your Beta's descend on the Oxfordshire countryside for what is set to be another fun and relaxed Betameeta weekend.

The slightly firmer order of events is as follow:

Friday 27th 4:30pm Onwards Early Arrivals and Evening Dinner at our base which is The Peacock, Henton. A chance to have a drink and catchup in the specially designated Beta Paddock (other Lancias welcome of course!)   - Let me know if you are interested in joining us for dinner and I will book the large round table.

Saturday 28th 10:30-11am onwards Cross country trip into the Chilterns to the Chiltern Open Air Museum via the Historic Kop Hill Climb (Not as steep as it sounds, 60mph limit on the hill, but unlike when its closed for the Kop Hill Climb event - traffic runs both ways!) Lunch / Afternoon tea & cake and return to base via a scenic route and Evening meal at The Peacock or venue close by - again let me know numbers for booking the table.

Sunday 29th 10:30-11am onwards Cross country trip to The Oxford Bus & Morris Museum, Lunch / Afternoon tea & cake. Beta's disperse & Betameeta21 draws to an end.  - I might need to hitch a lift back to Henton though!

If it is more convenient for you to join us at a particular point in either day rather than meeting us at our base then that will be great too!

If you have any questions, queries, thoughts or concerns - drop me a line underneath. Look forward to seeing you all very soon!  :)

Hi all,
I've had to alter my booking with Martin as I have
a must-do event in Leighton Buzzard on the Friday evening.
I hopefully will join you for breakfast on Saturday morning
before the trip out.

Hi Chaps

I have been quiet because I am waiting for a Covid test result and fear the worst given the symptoms I have currently. If I have better news I will join on Saturday.

I am going to Norfolk on Saturday (in my Beta), but will pop by on Friday evening and Saturday morning.   When might some people be in the bar on Friday?

Hi Gerard, I am going to be heading down the road for some liquid refreshment at around 4:30 / 5pm time. I am Betaless myself at the moment, but there are people turning up and the more the merrier  :)

I too should be there around 4:00-4:30 pm but could get there earlier if you want some earlier company :-) Look for the Trevi when you get there :-D

Hi Chaps

I have a negative Covid PCR test result now and feeling a lot better although I still can't smell anything which is very weird. I will now go for being at the Hotel at 9.30 on Saturday morning which should be OK for a coffee and joining the run out. I will leave again early evening because I am not yet back to having the sort of very social session I would like!

Cheers

Eric
PS I will understand if everyone stays well back although I should not be a risk to anyone now.
