Hi guys,

Wondering if anyone is based in the Hampshire/Surrey area and would be willing to attend a meet at some point? Seeing the Yorkshire meets thread get traction made me wonder if there's a possibility of sorting out a meet around my area.

Cheers.

Hopefully you can get some support and get a meet going in your region - it is good to see other cars out and about and pick up tips / inspiration. Good luck.

I'll be moving to the Fleet area soon (once we eventually find a house) so will keep an eye on this post as will be interested in a meet.

What a coincidence- I'm based in Aldershot for the time being.

Recently I've been trawling through the Facebook groups trying to find some general BMW meets which might be promising.

There used to be a monthly meet at a pub in Ripley a few years back, mainly for a bite to eat and to look at the cars.

Remember that from the 14th the new (even more rules) are in place banning gatherings of more than 6 people so just be aware/careful.

Cheers for pointing this out, didn't realise more rules were going into effect. Hopefully aside from not breaking the govt rules it should actually be safe for us to meet in open areas if the weather permits.

Also might be a bit optimistic to expect a 6 person turnout lol.

Going to start trying to attend general meets in Hampshire alongside getting my car sorted out and figure out what kind of meets are going on, esp. with the new coronavirus restrictions.

Are there generally many E30 owners who aren't on these forums? Don't know what my odds are of finding people attending meets who aren't already vocal here.

Also there used to be a monthly meet at the Ace Cafe, in the summer you would have say 40 cars turn up.

Yeah I'm mainly looking at Facebook and hoping to chat to locals. Cheers for the advice
