EAST MIDLANDS MONTHLY MEETS

[Jimmm]

Fine by me. Is there a thread running on the Xmas meal?

[Jimmm]

Just replied to Christmas meal thread. Somehow I completely missed that one!

[Jimmm]

Merry Christmas you filthy animals. Anybody fancy doing something over the holidays? Trip up to the National Memorial Arboretum again maybe?

[Jimmm]

Happy New Year. Anybody up for a January meet?

[Jimmm]

It's such a shame the Black Bulls Head in Belper doesn't have a larger car park. Really good booze!

Bulls Head at Belper Lane End is good for me on the 3rd Tuesday though.

So just to be clear, that's Thursday 15th January.

Tuesday the 20th. But I'm easy.

[Jimmm]

Is it easier for anyone to do this on a Sunday afternoon? Just putting it out there.

[Jimmm]

Fair point. Maybe we should carry on with this month's on Tuesday 20th and look at maybe doing a Sunday for the next one. If we're going to do a Sunday meet we should try meeting at the Grand Prix Collection then going for some food.

There is a cafe there. Always thought theyve missed a trick by not showing f1/ endurance racing on tv screens. Would be a good destination for racing nuts during the season

I'll suggest it to the guy I know who works there. I've always fancied going to something like that.

[Jimmm]

Still on for tomorrow night? We can discuss doing a Sunday meet whilst we're there.

[Jimmm]

Looks like the weather has turned and there will be a bit of snow tonight starting 7ish. With that and the low interest this time round we should probably try again another time.

...my new 4x4 hatchback...

Sounds practical

[Jimmm]

Fair enough just didn't want one person to turn up and sit alone all night! See you all in a bit.

[Jimmm]

How about meeting at 10.30am at the Grand Prix Collection on either Sunday the 15th or the 22nd of February as our next meet?

£10 to get in P/P. If we can get 25 people we can have a private guided tour for £17.20 P/P.

[Jimmm]

Tuesday the 5th of May at the Bulls Head - Belper Lane End anyone?

[Jimmm]

Okay sounds like we'll have to have this one as a going away meet then!

[Jimmm]

Anyone still up for a meet tonight?

[Jimmm]

Looks like it. Was hoping that the lighter nights might draw a few back. We'll have to rethink these PH meets and see if there is a way to get them back on track.

[Jimmm]

I'm still in. The turnout seems to have completely dropped off now though. I'm assuming that nobody looks at this thread anymore or they miss it because it's stickied?

Can anyone who may be interested pipe up and I can try and get a meet arranged at the Grand Prix Collection or somewhere interesting.

[Jimmm]

It's Belper steam and Vintage coming up as well. Usually a good place for a meet. Can last years wild west show be beaten this year?
