Shirley/Solihull coffee meeting and run out
Discussion
It has been suggested by Fun Bus that a thread should be opened so that the Midlands Exciting Cars Spotted thread can stay on track.(Very good idea FB)
Organizing a date is going to be the most difficult with people working weekends or other car meetings you maybe attending that you may already have a focus on.
It must then Shirley go to the majority vote and if you or myself are unable to attend then there is always a next time.
I have put a chart up to get a general idea of who is interested and if a Saturday/Sunday is best for you. Also a date that is not suitable.
If your not sure how to fill in the box please just add your details and state your preferences in writing and I will put the information in.
The location to meet up is undecided at the moment but due to this being a locals meet then which ever is decided then it should be only a 10-15 minutes drive.
Also can I just say if I am taking the lead in kicking this meeting off there will be NO donuts/Burnouts etc or you will be
EDITED
This meeting is likely to be held in the next Three/Six weeks so once we get a general idea of what date suits the majority I will then add a new chart. So there is no need to put that November/December is unsuitable.
My opinion only but i think Day time opposed to Night would be better.

Complicated availability but while the early evenings are still light they may work or weekends, when a decision on dates is made I would be interested. TVR S2 needs some more miles on the clock. !
At this stage I thought we might just get an idea of the numbers who are interested and if one particular weekend looks occupied then we can discount it.Let this opening thread run for a few weeks to see which is more suitable a Sat or Sun was my thinking. If you think this is a bit complicated or going the wrong way about it then do you think just picking a weekend now would be a better idea? Or any suggestions from others and I can then adjust the chart.
I didn't want to come across selfish and just pick a date that is best for me But you are correct it is complicated and is giving to many options so I will take the bull by the horns and open a new chart with dates of Saturday October 11th or Sunday October 12th as the only options.
The 26th of September will be the dead line,a simple count up of the majority Sat V Sun which gives Two weeks to Opt in or out. How does that sound ?
Regards Jas
Sorry miss understanding , My availability is complicated I am not doubting anyone elses plans or ideas, but I am not always as available as I plan to be, so happy to go with the flow Jas.
Thanks for your decisive action .
Both those dates are currently good for me.
P.S Didn't make it to Shelsley today, looks like I missed you there from the spotted thread I see your TVR.

Hello Mike,
Misunderstanding or not when looking at it.... It's complicated
It does need to be narrowed down so unless someone comes along and suggests otherwise I will amend the chart tomorrow.
Shelsley was really good,some lovely cars from old to new and a good turn out from the previous I hear as the weather was perfect (It rained at the last one)
I would be ignorant at saying the TVR's were the best cars there,but we were there in numbers think Glen missed a few on his pictures posted so a great turn out and will go again for sure.
Catch up with you soon Mike all being well don't think we have ever met yet?

I'd be up for either, but any idea of time?Maybe Sunday before the shops open 10.30/11am?
If we end up taking up too much space in the car park, I'm sure prompt move to the Village Hotel car park or even a run to the F & M dealership could be fun!
UPDATE
Just to let you know I have not overlooked or forgotten about amending the chart.
I was giving it a few days to see if the dates of October 11th/12th were frowned upon.
This evening I will update the chart,so for those who have already added a comment I will need you to reconfirm.
I have seen one suggestion of a time of 11am which to me sounds a good time for those that like to have a few drinks the night before.
As for the location I think we need a place where we can park without problems and coffee to be available and will leave the location to the suggestions of others.
My thinking was that after coffee and a chat we could take a drive out maybe via Meriden/Leamington/Warwick/Stratford and a stop at a nice pub on the river with good car park(We have many) so again suggestions please.

Good luck to you with organizing this Jason, personally I would just set a date/time/place.
If folk can make it that's good, if they can't that's too bad. Fannying around "who can do what and when" will just go round in circles (imho)
Anything from the first weekend end of October and I'll do my best to turn up

I never said anything about me organizing it Mike... I simply made the thread and put a chart up to get the ball rollingIf folk can make it that's good, if they can't that's too bad. Fannying around "who can do what and when" will just go round in circles (imho)

Right then just before I make a new chart we have two names on here that the weekend of 11-12th is not suitable.So how about I set it back a week 18-19th,Rigga,Polariz could you make that weekend?
As Phillpot as mentioned we could go round and round in circles but as we have two on list that it does not suit then lets offer another date.
I won't adjust any chart until I hear some feedback,but a new option date of 18-19th with an 11.am start.
It does look a bit of a mess at the moment but be assured there will be a set date and time put up in the very near future and if you can't make this one then we can always look at doing another one.
Please keep an eye on this thread for future UPDATE
Works for me Jason! I'll get it in the work Outlook calendar as a placeholder just in case we go ahead for that weekend.
Michael.

Despite the fact that I can't make the 1st weekend suggested, Mike's suggestion is spot on here. I'm sure there'll be many more (Hopefully!) so you just need to stick a date in and go for it. Build it and they will come! If folk can make it that's good, if they can't that's too bad. Fannying around "who can do what and when" will just go round in circles (imho)
