[ROVERNET - UK] Rover event

Fri Apr 28 05:34:40 BST 2006

I keep wondering about all of the Rovers in California and parts west.  Is
there anyway we could hold this shindig somewhere in the middle of the
contiguous 48????   I think all of the ideas you have floated are great. 
My hope is that we can make this more inclusive, rather than just a male
bonding, gear-head talking event.  My wife would definitely come, but would
be bored out of her gourd if all we did was talk about the cars-------so,
if enough interest is generated by the fairer sex, I think something like a
Rover ball would be smashing----and perhaps we should require that all in
attendance dress in Viking regalia  (can't you just see it, everyone
waltzing with horned helmets!!!!?)
