Morning All,

When and where in London do us zoners all meet up along with our pride and joys ?

I am aware that Ace Caffe is every once a month to which I plan on going to but are there any more in a month?

North, East, South or West London shows ?

Any this month?

Cheers

Where are all the London E30 owners gone ... Im guess right about now probably at work making money to fund their projects.

Any meets scheduled for this month in London ? If so where and when ?

There used to be fairly regular meets at the McDonalds, Lakeside Thurrock. It's a Zone meeting place of history (apparently). I'm sure there are better places :) but if you fancy organising your own meet just post up in the meets section. You don't need special permission to organise a meet :)

I think Beckton Gallion Reach Retail park would be a good location for East London meets lots of space. a‘a

There are a few good places in East London that we can arrange to meet up with for example as already mentioned:

-> Beckton Gallion Reach Retail park

- Leyton Mills Retail Park

- Greenwich Retail Park

So Many more places but I just cant seem to remember them on top of my head but yes its something we sure should try and at least arrange.

What are your thoughts and for the east londoners im guessing you all are all within a reachable distance to the locations mentioned above?

Bectons Gallions Reach gets my vote (on the doorstep). End of the A406, on A13 so should be easily accessible. Been to the Ace but too many Germans and couldn't park. If you intendon do- nuts/burn outs it will be short lived! Come on let's make it happen.

Location: Beckton Gallions Reach

Dates: 3rd Tuesday of every month (which gives enough time inbetween the ace cafe meets)

Time: when pony brings the bottle and the Essex birds or anytime after 8pm sounds easy done

Also if there is any serious organisers maybe (just maybe) you could call up the retail park and have the one entrance strip that is hardly used which has a roundabout to be blocked off for the meet. Just a suggestion a˜a

Id say if we reach there for 7pm would not hurt but it all depends on traffic and when everyone can get there for.

About getting a parking slot blocked off, Id suggest lets at least try and get together first and take it from there and maybe if there is enough of us maybe we could go ahead with that :)

No they were very civilized meets with no rubber trails left anywhere.
