Last time I was at the Ace, Mark, Cathy, Dave and others were there. We even got half way into a pic about an Esprit in the Club Lotus magazine, I seem to recall. TVR & Lotus is third Wednesday of the month according to the Ace website http://www.ace-cafe-london.com/Monthly-Meets-Cars.aspx , making the next one Wednesday 21 May, from 6PM. Regrettably I will be working at Port Sunlight that day, so unlikely to get back in time :(

Well, if I was right all the time I'd get to be predictable!

looked on the Ace site and there are two dates in May

Classic car and Lotus night 13th May 6PM

TVR/Lotus/Ginetta night 15th May 6PM

and I cannot make either - at the Ring on the first and in a meeting in Newbury on the second

Looks like third Wednesday on the general list is wrong - as Martin pointed out, the specific date of 15th is the third Thursday. Unfortunately I can't make 15th May either as I'll be in Brussels :( .
