Exeter Breakfast Club

[JumboBeef]

Do we have one? Would anyone turn up if I suggested one? I'm thinking once a month on a Saturday, somewhere with tea and with easy access to M5/A38/A30 or thereabouts.....

[JumboBeef]

That's two of us so far

I was thinking Route 5, by the racecourse. Big car park, which can be seen from the diner. Easy access. I've yet to check with them that it would be OK but looking at their website I can't see a problem.

Hi gents

Saturdays are often difficult plus we use the Haynes breakfast meet as our local breakfast meet.
Happy to join in with meets, but Sat wont work with me as i have kids

I'd rather do a Thursday evening at a pub !

OK cheers. Haynes is a bit too far for me.

There must be others around Devon who'd like a meet?

Would people prefer a daytime meet at a cafe or an evening meet in a pub?

[JumboBeef]

Thanks for the replies. Everyone, in any type of car most welcome.

This would be an extra meet for those who are interested and for those, like me, who would like to meet up locally.

I'm going to make the suggestion of the Route 5 diner on the last Saturday of the month, I don't think that clashes with anything else. Maybe meet from 09:00? (It's open from 0700).

What does everyone think?

I wouldn't be able to make the last Saturday this month as its classic and kit cars action day at combe. Not sure how many others are going to that?

Call in on your way down......?

Any date is always going to clash with something else, that's the problem.....

I'd be up for this for sure.
There is a meet already held at route 5, it's on Facebook 'coffee and classics Devon', I think it's 3rd Sunday of the month, but could be wrong.
It's had a very good turnout so far.

Anyway I'd be up for a meet whenever I'm not working on a Saturday

I looked up their facebook page. Good luck to them but as it is pre 1985 motors only, that's me out (I'm 1990).

I'm suggesting a meet for all Marques of all ages. I'm just as interested in something 36 months old as well as something 36 years old.

I'll be there on the last Saturday morning of the month for a tea, toast and a chat (I'm my 1990 TVR), hope you can join me.

[JumboBeef]

So:

Last Saturday of each month. This month, 25th June. Route 5 Diner. 0900 to 1100. All Marques, any age. The only criteria is an interest in cars and an open mind to appreciate others' choice of wheels.

Who'll join me? A free cup of tea/coffee to the first three. There's an offer you can't refuse!

Good stuff.

That's 2 of the 3 free cups of tea gone. Who's for the 3rd?

I'll take it!

Probably worth starting a new thread with the date in the title.
Not sure what I will be bringing yet??

The tea is yours! Good idea on the new thread:

OK, got it now.

Probably.

So, come on folks, it's the Saturday after next. We had, I think, 13 cars at last month's meet, let's try and beat that number with this second meet.

Hey Richard, when is the next one ?

Also are you going to the WSM big meet (Spirit of queen square) on the 4th Sept ?

It's this Saturday, but I might have to miss it as have to go to Scotland......

[JumboBeef]

It is this Saturday but I'm also away I'm afraid.

[JumboBeef]

We've had 10-15 cars the first two turnouts.

[JumboBeef]

The original idea was the last Saturday of the month, so not this weekend but next.

[JumboBeef]

I can't make it, last minute trip to London has home up.
