Possible February Meet?

[Matt97]

Hi all,

I was thinking about having a small meet in the Newbury area in mid february and was wondering if anyone was interested. I have an idea of location but wanted to see if there was any interest first.

Regards, Matt

Would be interested

Great , hopefully more people will be aswell

[Matt97]

Great to see some more interest
Just some more information.
I have been in touch with the starting gate in Newbury and they are happy to let us use their car park as a meeting location as long as we use their facilities for refreshments. They would prefer a Saturday but a Sunday isn't ruled out. I was thinking a Saturday morning 8.30-12.30ish.
What are your thoughts/what would you prefer?

Matt

I know it's a big bit of tarmac but are you sure about the venue?

I know, its not the most scenic but I don't know of many good meeting spots in the area.
Can you suggest any?

[Matt97]

Haven't been there either, sounds like a good location.

Of course.

I'm happy with this, we just need to agree on a date/time.

I dropped into The George & Dragon at lunch time (any excuse is a good one ) and we are all booked up.
Breakfast (bacon/sausage sarnies and tea/coffee) have been requested and will be available from around 10am.
The side-door should be open and will be the preferred entrance for us so we don't disturb the hotel guests.

Thanks, sounds good.
Hopefully it will be a nice dry day.

I've called them this morning to confirm the orders so far. Anyone who hasn't replied with their preference will get served if they can but no guarantees.
I'm looking forward to this now

Thanks, see you all tomorrow.

[Matt97]

Cheers for organising and what a nice way to spend a Sunday morning.
Great pics above, here are some of my poor efforts.























My niece certainly enjoyed it!
Hopefully we'll be able to do this again at some point.

MX-5 Lazza said:

I saw that too. Hope everything was ok!

Thanks everybody for coming along. It was a good fun & friendly meet. I made a point of thanking the staff on behalf of all of us too. The breakfast was very nice but I wasn't expecting a table with free tea & coffee - a very nice and welcome touch.

I was thinking of arranging another one for when the weather is a bit better so all our real PH cars can come out to play (I was in my daily diesel Merc). How about mid/late May?

Sounds good, late May would be good as I'm going to watch the btcc at Thruxton on the 9th/10th may!

Thanks again, Matt.

23rd/24th would work for me , if numbers are likely to be similar I'm minded to suggest something at my place if people are interested, could do morning or lunchtime and as it's the Monaco GP we could try and tie it in with the practice, qualifying or race

I would be interested & that's very thoughtful of you.
