Papplewick Classic Car Meetings

[YKB]

Last year there were classic car meetings at the Griffins Head pub in Papplewick, Notts in the evenings of the first and third Wednesdays of the month.

Does anyone know if they're on again this year and when they'll start? April? May?

It always used to be May-September but not seen any details for this year yet.

[YKB]

Thanks Steve. Let me know if you hear anything.

As last year they are 1st and 3rd wednesday of the month. Starts 1st week in May this year.

[YKB]

Thanks I'll hopefully get to a few this year. I hope to see you and your Cerb there.

Been going to this for blinking years; started when we had the MGs and were members of the Notts club. Only problem is that by the time we get home from work, got the car/s out and actually got there, a lot of the buggers start to go home

Bloody part timers

I was in the Griffon last night and enquired about this meet.

Lady behaind the bar told be that the manager had told her that he didn't think it was happening this year as no-one had contacted him to arrange it.

Not sure who is waiting on who (whom?), or who / which club "owns" this event ...

Any ideas?

Well being one of the long standing attendees going back to the days of the meet being in Underwood and Watnall before the Griffin, I think the main man is now Counciler Mick, if not Cobra Kev (who doesn't appear to have the cobra anymore)
So I think Paul being a Rolls Royce boy you're in the best place to give either of them a nudge.

Hi all, I am new to the forum but started going to the Papplewick meeting when i found out about it late last year.

I just spoke to Mick Murphy and he assures me he has already spoken to the manager of the Griffin's Head and the meeting is due to continue as normal.

The first meeting being the first Wednesday in May

I look forward to seeing you there in a couple of weeks

[Hot_Stu]

Excellent news, see you all there

[Hot_Stu]

so friends .. are we going to give this meet a try?

Day after White Hart ??

[v15ben]

I'd be game

[TailHappy]

Im up for it... lets hope the weather holds out and we get a good turn out. Spoke to the 2 guys who organise it this week and its all still going ahead. My Cerb decided to break an engine mounting on the way home from the Chatsworth TVR meet at the weekend so its a silver corsa for us!

[raceboy]

If it's dry I'll be there, trying not to get told of by Big Mick for making too much noise.

Where is Papplewick? And what sort of time does it run from / to?
