great sounds good to me am off work that day so happy days

Hi everyone does anyone have a prefrance of where to go for the christmas drinks as were only a few weeks away now feel free to post ideas up, what sort of place do we want to go to? lively music based pub to club? like i said let us know fairly shortly so we can all agree

right booked hotel room for the 5th march looking forward to this now!, have just been on hotels.com and they have uped the price to £90 but if you go on to the Mucure web site they are still doing rooms for £55 per room so the time is now to book your rooms before the rate sores up to something stupid will post runners and riders.

Hi Dave hope you well drinks sounds like a plan unfortunatly I am on nights that week can make any day the week before and the week starting the 13th except the Friday 17th but if you all can make the 10th then feel free to party on as long as someone gives me the goss the next day lol

no stu this will be our base camp everyone does need to book there own rooms as you have to pay up front so people should buddy up to split the room costs

Shame not to see you there Jo but have a great time at the wedding and we will see you tour 1 will be good to see you there fella should be a blast

Sorry Claire the address is Mercure cardiff centre hotel Wharf road east, Tyndell street Cardiff CK10 4BB If you go on hotels.com it should be the first one you come to it looks under a mile to Cardiff central train station Jamo you do not have to come to all of it you could just pop along for a pint or so theres no worries would be good to see you there cookie its a shame you wont be able to make it but can understand its a fair way to travel and look forward to meeting up with you on tour 1 Gorky am sure to see you at some time state side sorry you cant make it till may then

Hi Well I know its still a fair way off but its time to start to plan for the meet up in Cardiff on the 5th of March have chosen the Mercure hotel and at the mo the rooms are £55 per room this is a advance booking rate and will no doubt go up in price the closer to the the date so booking early is advised it will be fairly the same format as last year in Manchester so meeting up at the hotel between 1400hrs and 1500hrs a few pints at the hotel then on to a bar then a mexican meal then for those still able on to a late night bar/club the deal can be found on hotels.com just search for cardiff and the hotel should be on the first page if you could let me know who is thinking of coming so i can have an idea of numbers so can start thinking of places to go as always I will be going a few weeks in advance and trial running places out so any prefrances or suggestions welcome also look forward to hearing from you you can as always PM me if you have any Qs Ian

Just grabbing a Burger at Wendys (Limon) and going to see what pops up in the next few hours, Vortex2 In abundance yet again! Ian

we went through bridgeport about ten mins ago and all the sirens where on and there was rotation on the road was mentel there is a 3 milw traffic jam of chasers its been a mare of a chase

parked up watching 2 cells with hooks on them at the mo looking promising on HY 71 just norht of scotts bluff

Wow Paul is panting - The Structure on this thing is incredible - Nearly put down a Nado about 5 mins ago

we are now approching the base of the storm north west of scotts bluff

we are now heading north up the 71 towards a huge cell about 40 miles north of scotts bluff

from our overnight stop of McCook we have traveled up to north platte and are now heading west on the I80 to big spring

roger sorry for late responce we are about 10 miles east of oberlin Kansas when we get there we will head north to McCook we are looking at three meaty cells

yep another reminder that mother nature is in charge and should be shown respect at all times truly sad news about the deaths and lets hope no trouble happens with the nuclear plant

SPC have put a 2% tornado risk in for colorado this afternoon so now are in chase mode towards the Colorado Kansas border on the I 70 should get there just after 1745 our time 2330 your time could get some Colorado magic today fingers crossed

Glad you guys are getting some action!! This is Paul Sherman on Ians account, had an amazing Tornado form about 150 Metres to our North West, this then turned into a Multi Vortex at St Charles (Iowa) and disappeared into the Rain. Looks like both the US & Uk are firing tonight! Best Paul S

just to confirm our nado at st charles has been called in by vortex 2 on the spc report page

just had a breif spin up right next to us ( around 150 metres) now on the run south to get clear about 4 miles then stop to see if she can see if the storm can drop a bigger tornado

tornado watch issued for our area and we are in a good position to pick of the storms should be a good afternoon/early evening

we are on some cells brewing just north east of des moines we are about 50 miles south east of them on Hyw 44 just west of des moines now heading north on Hyw 169
