MX-5 New Year Brighton Fish and Chip Run

29^th January 2012

 Hello everyone (South East / North Thames/ West London and any other area)

Here’s your chance to participate in the Brighton Run, and get together with like-minded people and, with luck, enjoy a drive down to the coast in crisp winter sunshine.  Then it will be fish and chips on the pier and as usual I will book 100 places eeek...!!!

 You can count Dee & me in on this but I don't think we will go for the fish and chips either but thanks Sarah for organising it.

We'll skip the Fish & Chips and find an alternative as Bren's a veggie.

Peter and Allie would also like to join you for the run from Thurrock - no fish and chips for us thanks.

Should this not be called the non fish and chip run, or may be just the Brighton run.
