    OK, with some distant possibilities starting to emerge, this seems like a good time to open the annual Winter ramping thread. clapping.gif

    Most of you will know what to post in here as it's generally a light and not too serious area for your over-active imaginations, straw-clutching snow/cold weather predictions or just idle dreams.

    Great to see this thread open again, thanks Coast good.gif

    All we need to do now is find a new place for the SACRA members HQ - I've had a look around at suitable property and I thought this might do nicely...

    I am doing the school run for the next two weeks - looks like it could be interesting! Early start this year - lets hope it is proloonged - we have waited long enough for a winter which is great and lomng lasting.
