Hehe, I didn't make it in the end, sorry guys. I had family round for far longer than I expected last night.
Jag-D, dagging? Joe?
I'm confused
My brother owns and dog and is called Joe, so you either know him or that is really weird coincidence

I can never remember his PH Id, but one of our regulars at the old haunt, he was a bloody hoot!Jag-D, dagging? Joe?

One night he turned up incognito in the works van, I was already sat in the carpark at this point so I put my sidelights on to let him know I was in the car (dark night)
From that moment came the dogging joke at ph meets
Haven't seen Joe since last summer, sure hope he's doing well! Sterling guy that is

Cars in the park is a good alternative I suppose - possibly upstaging Harewood slightly ?

But just as another thought / idea what about organising a visit to York Dragway? http://www.yorkraceway.org.uk/index.html
The next event is on 2nd & 3rd May. The 2nd sounds best as they have a RWYB event so those that want can have a drag? Not sure if anyone has been? I have been a couple of times and its a cracking day out.

Was Simon M there? I emailed him last week but no reply 
someone give him a nudge if you see him.
And and lads - you know I'm the biggest Mazda fan around but I think you quite convincingly lost the 'lift your bonnet and see how big a crowd you can draw' competition to the Chevvy LS and the AJP! (or is it a SP6?)

Yes bad news Simon. Engine is shagged so its a rebuild or similar.
Oh bugger. Trickie mentioned that you were having problems Simon. Hope you get it sorted in time to enjoy at least some of the summer. BatleyBoy said:

Oh bugger. Trickie mentioned that you were having problems Simon. Hope you get it sorted in time to enjoy at least some of the summer. So the project is on to upgarde my T350 with a 'Sagaris Red Rose 4ltr Straight Six'.
Hope to be back on the road asap with 400bhp T350! With a bit of luck its should be ready to bring along to the next meet.
Cheers. BB

But where is the next meet Simone?
Rothwell or Drig?
Good question Scott.Rothwell or Drig?
As you know, I spoke to Tricky on this subject and he would prefer it to be back at Drighlington, but to be honest the meets there had got to a stage where no one at all was attending. Thats why I started the thread about whether people wanted a meet and where they wanted it.
From my perspective I'm happy to meet at any location really, and Drig is actually closer for me. However, the meets at Oulten do seem to have started picking up now and we are getting decent numbers of cars along.
One option is to change it every once in a while, for example move it between 3 locations for example Diglington, Oulton then White Bear at Tingley?
Maybe this will get the conversation going again....!
Some good and valid comments so far. Here are my thoughts just to keep the post ticking along:
The meet was started at Drig so I think we should stay somewhere local to that, and I think we should have a West Yorkshire PH monthly meet where ever the location. As far as possible venues are concerned, then heres my 2 peneth.
Squires: Too far away for most folks I would suggest, and principly its a bikers venue.
Railway at Drig: I personally don't like the Railway, the car park is poor, and pub isn't really a pub its more of a restaurant, food is very expensive and the place doesn't lend itself to a sit down with a pint for a natter....and its misrable in winter!
Inn keepers Lodge Oulton: Probably a bit far out for some folks. However its got a 'private' car park, food is good and cheap, and it lends itself to a sit down inside or outside for a pint and a chat.
Old Brick Works at Driglington. It's not far at all from the Railway so the location is good. It has a big car park (but its gets quite busy most of the time). Food is good and cheap, and you can sit inside or out for a pint and a chat.
White Bear Tingley: Known location for many local Pher's. Good access to location off the M62 / A650. Good sized car park. Good cheap grub and plenty of space insdie and out for a pint and a chat.
So thats my view on possible locations.
In conclusion, I do believe that the venue needs to be changed once in a while, as peole get stalled with same venue month in and month out. On the flip side we don't want to be changing around all of the time. So my suggestion would be to stick with Oulton until the end of this summer, and then perhaps have a look for a winter home, and then a fresh venue for spring 2011 onwards?
