Re: The Big Summer Meet thread.
Ithink this wouid require some Organisation,
EG, How far is Each member willing to travel to a meet,?
then theres the organisation of where to hold the meet etc some planning is needed here Me thinks,
other than that ithink this thread shouid be split up into equal sections, North /south/ etc,
Maybe then someone couid take the Reighns on organising a meet for each location and organise venues etc

But what im trying to say its going to be Awkard. Not many people from up north wouid be able to drive down south alot of us from up norf have got tribes of kids etc..
or vice versa,
needs some organisation here me thinks thats all iwas trying to say,
idid try to gather a list of members from up north but that didnt amount to much not many on the list,
ipresume the list of members from the south wouidnt be many either

Re: The Big Summer Meet thread.
Let's not talk ourselves out of it - I for one, would be prepared to turn up anywhere within a few hour's drive - which currently covers all points so far on the map, (always assuming I haven't killed the thing off in trying to sort the injectors).

Re: The Big Summer Meet thread.
On the map it looks like right in the middle of the country is best suited for a meet, between Doggy in North ants and Lozz in Manchester. Is there any motor museums or similar somewhere there?
What about bringing the tribe with? Find a nice town with a motor museum, a nice old country house to look at, something along the lines of Legoland and a huge shoeshop? A museum of cars, handbags and kiddy toys??

Re: The Big Summer Meet thread.
what about here?
or something similar.
Edit: or a bit further North
Or looking at the map, how about Puggy's drive, i reckon Stafford would be a good meeting point, Puggy is there anywhere worth visiting down there?

Re: The Big Summer Meet thread.
The Heritage Motor Centre looks quite well placed, not sure about Somerset though (I bluddy drove past that a few weeks back but I didn't have time to stop And that big pile of rocks which I'd never even seen before )

Re: The Big Summer Meet thread.
Gaydon is favourite with the coupe club for meets
I guess if we could get enough cars, they "might" make an area available to us
Either that or ask if the coupe boys are holding one around that time, and we muck in with them ?

Re: The Big Summer Meet thread.
Sounds good, and I vote for Gaydon too, always fancied a trip up there. Only problem is I can only make the last weekend in August

Re: The Big Summer Meet thread.
As for dates Im fairly flexible as i have booked all of august off with clients, its a sporadic month for teaching at the best of times with it being the holiday season so i bit the bullet and decided to take the whole month as my summer holiday, Im liking the look of Gaydon as i have heard good things about the place and i reckon its around 2-3 hours maximum drive for those in the north and the deep south(queue the banjos)
Seeing as Dai is the only one expressing a preference on dates, may i tentatively propose the weekend of the 27th and 28th of August?
If we get enough interest I will happily contact the museum and see if they will arrange group rates and the like for entry prices.

That's not a bad run from Woking, sounds good to me! The only problem is if my wife wants to go away as it's the bank holiday weekend.DiscoPol wrote:Seeing as Dai is the only one expressing a preference on dates, may i tentatively propose the weekend of the 27th and 28th of August?
