Ian B Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I need to retrieve a (fairly fragile) box that I'd rather not trust to the Royal mail/Couriers It's starting off in Berriew (SY21 8PD, between Newtown and Welshpool), and needs to get to me near Maidstone in Kent (or near Newbury where I can collect it from). I think we can get it from Berriew to Gaydon on 11th Nov, so maybe an option from Gaydon to Kent?? Anyone passing any of these ways please?!

Ian B Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 Sometime in the next 7-10 days would be good Ian Ian - MI 5EVN - Slightly Vider SVelte model 😬 now repainted to match the Autocom headsets 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Don't think I can manage it that quick, unless I have a major customer need that suddenly arises ! See what I can do, but not hopeful at the moment - I shall throw it open to the field again in the meantime. ****************** And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking...

DaveMorris Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Ian, what size box - and when would it be available for collection? We're travelling thru Shrewsbury on Saturday - but only as far as Leicestershire. Car will be fully loaded with kids and golfclubs. If it's a small box I might be able to assist you part way.

Englishmaninwales Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Ian If Dave can't deliver and if the package can wait, I will be going to L7C sprint awards at Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon in Warwickshire on 11 November. Onward delivery to Kent by other competitors attending? Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian B Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Thanks guys. The box is wooden with a glass top and measures about 500 x 350 x 75mm (at a guess) and contains some fairly fragile electro-mechanical parts. Not too delicate, but I'd prefer it was carried on a car seat rather than the bed of a trailer IYSWIM. If that's not too big for you Dave, where are you travelling to/from (via Shrewsbury)?

DaveMorris Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Ian - call me this evening and I'll see if it's possible. My only query would be "What do I do with it when I get to Rutland?" Dave.

Ian B Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Will call you shortly Dave, meanwhile, anyone able to get it from Rutland Leicestershire to Kent please?

Ian B Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 OK, it looks like Dave's collection tommorow isn't going to happen (but many thanks for the offer Dave). So can anyone else either collect from Berriew (near Newtown/Welshpool) and get it towards Kent or Newbury; or, if Malcolm can get it to the club sprint at Gaydon, can anyone bring it back from Gaydon to Kent please?

Mark Durrant Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Ian B I can collect it from Gaydon and get it to Horsham although I know of one other sprinter who could probably get it to Darenth nr Brands Hatch. He does not have access to Blatchat so can check via email next week. Let me know if that helps Mark D Comp Sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian B Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Ooh thanks Mark, Darenth would be good. Unless anyone is going direct from Welshpool to Maidstone ❗, it sounds like the best bet so far Ian - MI 5EVN - Slightly Vider SVelte model 😬 now repainted to match the Autocom headsets 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Englishmaninwales Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Ian Or, why not have a day out and join us at the awards lunch, take in the Heritage Centre included in £30 fee, as the event is open to all L7C members? Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMorris Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Ian, if it's looking as if Englishman..... is going to be bringing it down then I can still collect next Sunday if you let me have address and phone contact details. (Don't suppose it would fit in the passenger seat of the 7 would it (I need to measure )) X-flow(er) power now resting. Trying Vx for a change.

Ian B Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 Thanks guys, I'll need to check the diary (at work) for the awards lunch, and I was hoping you could give it a gentle ride Dave 😳 😬 Ian - MI 5EVN - Slightly Vider SVelte model 😬 now repainted to match the Autocom headsets 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian B Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 OK guys, thanks very much for the offers , but it looks as though another sevener is able to collect it this week and bring it down to kent, so all being well it's now sorted (this does depend on them recovering from a bout of man-flu though ).

DaveMorris Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Ian, did it get there ? If not then call me and I can collect this weekend, Dave X-flow(er) power now resting. Trying Vx for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian B Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 Thanks Dave, but I'm meeting the kind sevener who has it tomorrow Ian - MI 5EVN - Slightly Vider SVelte model 😬 now repainted to match the Autocom headsets 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
