Hi everyone,
Just to let you know that Jessica ( who was at the meet), who had an accident at the EDF barrage just outside St Amans on Sunday, is out of Hospital and doing fine. She had a fracture in her leg and some knee injury. She will be resting in France until the plaster cast comes off, and will then be continuing on to South Africa with her husband Jesse.
I'm sure we all wish her a speedy recovery.

Hi Pongo,
Bad news on the accident but good news she is relatively ok and on the mend. If it's where I think it is, it's quite the scenic spot with a couple of bad bends though.
Wishing her a speedy recovery from us both.
Cheers
Potski & Mrs P

Sounds like it was another great event.
The weather certainly looked better than it was last year..!
Nik and I were so disappointed we couldn't make it, but as it looks like a regular event now I'm sure we'll be back a some point.
Worth it for the cheese alone...
All the best,
Gus & Nik.
P.S. Hi to Bernt, glad you got the GS back on the road quickly, enjoy your trip.

Hello Gemma
Well , except a miracle , i don't think i'll be there (money problems) and on top of that our car broke down last weekend . Anyway there will be better times for sure (i have much less problems on the road and it's where i want to be).
Don't forget, Brigitte and i will be more than happy to see you both someday in Dieppe ; see you soon and carry on to be in touch.
