UK & Ireland Roll Call (UK & Ireland)

[Jeremy996]

I see that most of the localised fora have set up a roll call to see where people are and it was suggested that I do the same here.

So, I'll start

Jeremy996 - real name Jeremy Edwards

I live in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire and I am an Independent Financial Adviser

Hopefully the Grenadier will turn up before the end of March 2023! I'm told it is built, but I have no official confirmation. (OTR 22/04/2023, miles are ticking up quite quickly)

Hi @Bobineos I think it's great that you're helping with the billing show. I've never been there myself. But I was at the Land Rover birthdays in Gaydon in 2008 and 2018. I really enjoyed the Heritage Run and still look at pictures and videos today. I can relate to the many Land Rovers. It's not just the space. You also have to look after them and have time for them.

Hi I was going to put a post out, that the Billing off road show would be a great place for a meet up this year. Ideal for those wishing to camp or just day visitors.
We had about 5 on the actual show ground last year and about 10 day visitors with several going round the off road course. For those not aware of the Billing off road show it is not a Land Rover show all makes are welcome.
Just book early as it is filling up quick.

New to this posting business, but guess this would need to go on a different thread.
Comments and suggestions if you please.
