Damn, this list is almost looking better than Miranda Raison (Google is your friend guys!)

lick
So you like women that look like teenage boys, eh? Maybe you just like teenage boys?
Going by that quote you must be looking at her pics from Spooks - look at the ones of her in the current "Single,Married, Other" (ITV, Mondays 9PM) - the first episode where she was on a superbike clad in leather she most definitely did NOT look like a teenage boy (unless he's popping estrogen likes its going out of fashion!)

I repeat

lick
I thought first that Miranda Raison must be some lah-de-dah fancy car event, like Pebble Beach. redface

Yes, so that Ferrari Daytona.............

(its at least 4 hours since someone addded a car, what gives?)
He's the chap who came to Kingston Lacy in the blue Dino.



If that's sold, he's buying a red Daytona which he'll bring instead.

could we try and limit the donuts in cheddar until we find a local carpark?
as theres soo many going, i'd like to think PH'ers can show some restraint?
other than plenty of noise of course wink
Doughnuts?

I don't think copcarreauchomper is coming at the moment. wink

Is the sound off going to be a public vote or scientific experiment i.e. noise meter??
Noise meter. As all engines are different, we decided last time to let people do their worst (by revving) to get the highest reading they could, and it worked very well. I'll do that again this time.

But if anyone did want the standard 45 degree, half a metre test that a lot of circuits do, they just need to ask and I'll do that too.

UPDATE

There's been some problems behind the scenes which are now all sorted, so the meet is still definitely going ahead. thumbup

Parking charges
Car parking in the gorge is £4. There's no parking meters, but there will usually be attendants milling about the gorge. The money is used for the upkeep of the gorge for everyone to enjoy.

Donations to the charity - Weston Hospice Care
Longleat estate have advised us that their charity policy excludes fundraising on their land as they support their own chosen charities, so we won't be taking donations for the hospice on the day.

I have set up a Just Giving page here instead:

http://www.justgiving.com/ph-cheddar-april

If you are coming to the meet please donate something.

If you're going to get a sound test as part of the noise competition, please donate £2.

There's going to be a trophy / prize for the winner, and probably the runners up too, so it's well worth it.

Cheers all!

About the parking: it's £4 for every member of the public who parks there, including us, and we'll be taking over a very large area of their parking. There are usually attendants every day selling tickets.

I don't have a problem with them charging - it's no different than getting a ticket at a shopping centre. The gorge is privately owned, and I can imagine how much it costs to keep the gorge safe from falling rocks in these H&S obsessed times, and thus open for everyone to enjoy.

Very good question, and my honest answer is: don't know.

I'm not an expert in these matters, so happy to go with the consensus from everyone else.

I think I might invest in some ear plugs...

Car parking in the gorge is £4. There's no parking meters, but there will usually be attendants milling about the gorge. The money is used for the upkeep of the gorge for everyone to enjoy.

Donations to the charity - Weston Hospice Care
Longleat estate have advised us that their charity policy excludes fundraising on their land as they support their own chosen charities, so we won't be taking donations for the hospice on the day.

I have set up a Just Giving page here instead:

http://www.justgiving.com/ph-cheddar-april

If you are coming to the meet please donate something.

If you're going to get a sound test as part of the noise competition, please donate £2.

There's going to be a trophy / prize for the winner, and probably the runners up too, so it's well worth it.

Cheers all!

At the risk of upsetting a lot of people, ime getting pretty fed up of charities, Yes i know good cause, how else are they suppose to survive etc etc. But every time in town, put the radio on, put the tv on its a charity.
The gorge meet come along way since Corrin Ben and I thought it would be a good idea, over a beer, to have a meet with the Bristol boys.

Yep,

I'm upset!

In this instance its quite obvious that the donation is made online and therefore you wont have to endure someone shaking a tin in your face

Further, this is a local charity that helps cancer patients with end of life care, not some charity for the usual far flung corners of the world.

I think just about all of us have been touched in some way by cancer and I for one would like to think they would be there for me/my loved ones should the need arise

Donating is NOT mandatory if you are attending, but it would be nice if each person could donate at least £2 (or whatever they feel they can afford) to such a worthy, local cause

(dismounting from soap box)
I know what you mean, sax player. It's a bit of a pain in the arse to collect donations too, especially if you're there to see the cars as well.

Like Matt says, the JustGiving page allows anyone to donate if they want to, to raise a few quid for a local charity, and you don't have to at all. I'll still do the sound tests whether someone has donated or not, as who doesn't like to hear those engines?

To me, PH meets are primarily about the cars and always will be. Charity shouldn't be the main reason we meet up for a chat, but sometimes it's nice to show performance car owners can get together and do some good in the region whilst standing in a car park talking brake upgrades.

I don't go anywhere without my teddy, and I'm not putting him in my baggage. He'll need a seat and some of those expensive headphones to watch the film with.
