Scotland Meet, Knockhill, 17th May 2009

[mummy-boo]

Can I make a suggestion?...

Considering the other thread seems to have flopped, I would like to make a possible suggestion for a National Scottish Zoners Meet.

http://www.europeandriftchampionship.eu ... endar.html

This is at Knockhill Circuit on the 17th May.
http://www.europeandriftchampionship.eu ... d%202.html

It's far enough away for people to book the time off work to make it (so no lamo excuses) and it won't just be meeting in a car park for a natter it would be a proper day out.

It sounds like it'd be a great day out, we could meet somewhere and convoy in, go in and and park up together have a natter, watch the drifting, then maybe do a drive out somewhere???

What do you guys think?

This is the first meet I've attempted to organise so I will be asking for help.

Theres approx 60 Scottish zoners on the list so should be a nice turn out.

SO..... I propose we have our national meet:-
When - May 17th 2009
Where - Knockhill Racing Curcuit
For - The European Drift championships
Tickets for the event are £15 for Adults.

1. Mummy-boo, Stitch-626 and the girls - 318i Touring

**Northern lot meet at the Maccy D's on the Forfar Bypass about 8am have a natter and some crappy coffee, then over to meet the Southern lot.
Southern lot meet at Kinross Services for around 9.30am-ish
Then off to Knockhill for about 10ish**

is there any track action that day to take part in? i cant be bothered with folk spinning around doing what the call drifting.

[mummy-boo]

Topblag made this suggestion on the other thread

We could meet in the Tesco car park on the south side of the FRB or the park and ride at Inverkeithing on the Fife side.
It's easily accessible for those coming from all over, has a free multi-storey if it's raining and it's not too far from Knockhill.
If we get chucked out, there's another car park in Inverkeithing with plenty spaces which is usually quiet on Saturdays.
Let me know if I can help more.

Sounds good to me.
But I don't know Scotland too well as we only moved here last June.

tesco doesnt have a multi storey car park at the forth bridge?
edit*** i read it wrong, the multi storey is at inverkiething***

Not sure.... I found this when we were looking for a day out for Nichola's birthday. I'll go find out for you

There's a 10k more track day on the Friday before and I just found out that the 17th is The Scottish Tuning Show Featuring European Drifiting Championship

FWIW
My suggestion would be for the Northern lot to meet in the usual place I.E maccy D's on the Forfar bypass,before continuing onward to the main meeting point.
Possibly Kinross services????. which is reasonably close to the track.Unless there's any better suggestion's.

Sounds like a plan.

The show kicks of at 9am at Knockhill. I'll have to think and work out times and stuff, I'll work on it and post back in a bit once the kids are in bed..... My brain is mush now

[nickso]

hmmm, sounds like an early morning. early mornings are bad news at the weekend

I was just starting to think the same thing,
but we'll have to do it as we'll have an almost 4 year old screaming at us to get up cos we're going to this as one of her birthday pressies.
Last year she went to see the Monster trucks at Santa Pod.


SO....
How does this sound?
Northern lot meet at the Maccy D's about 8am have a natter and some crappy coffee, then over to meet the Southern lot at Kinross Services for around 9.30am-ish then off to Knockhill for about 10ish (depending on how much nattering we do!!).

The Knockhill site says the event runs between 9am and 5pm. So we should get there possibly as it all starts!

it doesnt matter how many add to a list. if a quarter of them actually turn up it would be a good result.

I agree!!

It would be nice if people turned up, considering this is the first meet i've had a go at organising. I'm kinda doing it blind too as i don't know Scotland all that well yet! Go me!!

How you gona drive to cars?

[grantfk10]

I've always found that the ones who put their names down generally DO turn up.
We've had some cracking meets in the last couple of years.........

[gra325i]

best one for me has to be green welly/glencoe..there were circa 15 cars there at one point iirc

good times

come to think on it..i,ve been to 90% of the scottish meets in the last 2 years and i still haven,t met you fuzzy

[BadDave]

And two of them were M3's

And i have met the elusive Fuzzy

[fuzzy]

what was the one were eriks car broke down right at the start? 2 years ago iirc. hammo had the vids of us leaving the pub grub car park? that was the last one i was at,there was a decent turn out at that.dave was there, neil, james ,mike etc.in fact mikey came in my car afetr his broke down at the services at the forth bridge. ive been to a passionford meet since then but time is tight for me so normally cant make them.

[BadDave]

That was the 1st end of year run up round Loch Lomond.
IIRC Aly had a problem as well, and had to get the AA/RAC to pick up the car.

[fuzzy]

yep, im getting mixed up, it was alis calypso red car that needed recovered not eriks.

I don't think I'm gonna make this one chaps / chapesses, as it's a 10 hour + round trip for me

Can you make the mini-meet for the zone roam Hayley ?

[mummy-boo]

I was looking in the zone roam bit.
I'm knackered too.
I keep falling asleep.



I'll go have a look now......

[mummy-boo]

Mini roam - we'd have to give it a miss.

The 1st of May is our 5th wedding anniversary.
I'm sure Ian's got some kind of 'romantic' weekend planned too......... fish'n'chips tea and a lie in.
I can't even ask to be a tag along with one of you guys either, the joys of married life, eh?
