Midlands Meet - Rav?

[gooner1]

Quite a few suggestions now

Northampton may be a bit far for the Notts lads?

Lichfield one looks ok:

Tbh Imy, the Northampton one would probably be better
later in the year.

[adz79]

The Lichfield one does look good tbh!! The Toby Cavery does'nt seem too popular and I have to admit I'm not feeling the love either. Perhaps we should pick a few different venues and all vote on it?

[Rav335uk]

Any more suggestions???
Once everyone has finished, let me know, i'll put it up for a poll and we'll go from there.

[Ollie_bwoii]

The Toby Carvery near Wooton in Northampton has quite a substancial car park. And its about 1 minute from my house.

[Rav335uk]

Ollie, your first meet is not going to be 1 minute from your house, you will have to travel

Forget it, you need some driving experience young man.
You got that map out of your boot yet?

[Ollie_bwoii]

Nope that map is somewhere in the treasure trove that is my boot.

How about the Queen Eleanor? Thats about 2 minutes.

Nowhere within an hours travel of your house

[ImysE30]

Get a Sat-Nav Ollie

A poll's a good idea Rav, should be at least 5/6 different locations to choose from

[Ollie_bwoii]

My Pap got a Sat Nav for christmas, But has since brought a new Volvo V70, that he has speced to have one in the Dash already, so I may try and bribe the unused christmas present of him.

[ImysE30]

I also 'borrowed' mine
But she was no good, took me the wrong way on my first meet

[Ollie_bwoii]

I think I will just follow one of the zoners that knows where they are going.

[gooner1]

Scuse me!!!!!!

[ImysE30]

It wasn't me it was her in my cab

I wasn't the only one who missed the turning

[DanThe]

I vote for Lichfield

[ImysE30]

I vote for Lichfield

Have you been there Dan, what's it like?

I vote too as it's much closer

[scootlife]

Lichfield or Northampton are both do-able..

Would be good if its a venue used by other car clubs as should be
geared up for us all then.

Anyone been to any of them?

[Ollie_bwoii]

Just thinkign out loud, but wasn't there an E30 meet at Billing Aquadrome (northampton) last year?

I also know that the queen eleanor (northampton) was used for a weekly classic car club, and they have a retro rides meet there every now and again.

[Kedge]

The billing meet is a full weekend and a general BMW one, a whole area is set aside for this at the venue, it's an annual thing.

[adz79]

I vote Lichfield.

[Felix79]

Just don't make me drive across the country because it's always a fking night maire

[Rav335uk]

you know you love it

[capri_rob]

Bowling Green in Lichfield would be good for me and does have a decent carpark, but if you're thinking of a Sunday Lunchtime meet we'd have exactly the same problems with parking/sunday dinner brigade as at the Toby Carvery at Stonebridge ( if not worse - the carpark is probably the same size as the Toby ) - plus you have to pay to park - not much but we all know how tight Zoners are

[thekingofswing]

what about somwhere on the outskirts of leicster i think its just off j21 of the m1 there is a large retail park for the free parking also im pretty sure there is a pub there aswell for the refreshments other than that i dont mind having a ride down to northants

[e30shed]

I think I will just follow one of the zoners that knows where they are going.

I wouldn't recommend following gooner

[safedave]

ill give this one a miss, think will start going to other BM meets as meets in places like this just arnt worth it

sorry

Were you doing this as you wrote that?


And then this?

ssshhhhhhh!

[safedave]

Why don't we have a cruise around 'The Midlands' and look for a 'more' suitable place then

The shire horse in stafford has a massive car park and its just off junction 14 of the m6 so no one should get lost!

[Felix79]

you know you love it

Shut it you slagggggggg

Seriously thought going up and down the country and a darn sight easier than having to trudge through Northampton or Coventry or worse still going through Buckingham to get far enough East to do a meet along the M1. It may add like 20-30miles on the jounrney but when you think that's added onto the 60-70miles I just do to get to the midlands meet it soons start adding up. Remember my Alpina will only do 22-23mpg if I am carefull, which lets face it I aint!

thats right by the audi dealer isnt it?

There will be problems using any pubs on a sunday just chose one and go from there if its crap dont go there again its all going to be trial and error.
