If you tell us where it is likely to be the members might be able to give a reply...
Committing to a meet for instance in the south east will be unlikely to attract the members from say Scotland.

Don't know if I could be bothered to sort out the cracked windscreen and was the car over Xmas though! If it is sunny, could I bring the 1967 Corsair? thats shiny!!

It was a good meet as mexman says lots of cars despite the chilly weather!

Having not been to a mini meet before (excluding Harwood) I was eager to go and re-enthuse myself with Scorpio mania but alas I was but a lonely Scorpio amongst a sea of foreign blue ovals :'( }{
