Bracknell Nutz Meet - Thursday 16 May

[Planet Claire]

The next meet is booked for Thursday 16th May, from 7:30pm, and is at our new venue, Pinewood Bar & Cafe.

Pinewood Bar & Cafe (http://www.pinewoodbarandcafe.co.uk/)
Unit 8
Pinewood Leisure Centre
Old Wokingham Road
Wokingham
Berkshire
RG40 3AQ

There is a massive car park - as you come in turn left into the car park nearerst to the cafe. Food is very cheap and cheerful and there is a range of grill/burgers, chips etc.

Directions
If you're approaching from the M4 direction, continue as if you were going to Peacock Farm, but as you come off the A329(M), take a right at the roundabout (instead of left to Peacock Farm). Continue down the road for about a mile and then turn right into the Pinewood Leisure Centre. If you miss the turning, carry on down to the roundabout to turn around. http://goo.gl/maps/oiu8y

Approaching from Sandhurst/Camberley/M3 direction, head up to Bracknell as normal, but turn left at the roundabout with Nine Mile Ride. Straight ahead at the next mini roundabout (for TRL) and then right at the next roundabout onto Old Wokingham Road. Turn left into Pinewood Leisure Centre after about 100m. http://goo.gl/maps/idsyN



Hope to see you there!

Can I come even if I don't own an Mx5 (at the moment)? Ive had one in the past and am in the market currently.

[Planet Claire]

Of course you can! More the merrier is what I say.

[MX-5 Lazza]

Be warned, these cars are addictive, especially when you meet a group of enthusiasts who are all already addicted. I can guarantee that after coming along to a meet your search for an MX5 will become much more urgent

[WetPaint]

Oh, the want is strong, believe me. I have exhausted all potential cars that are for sale and check daily for new ones to appear that match my specifications.

[MX-5 Lazza]

What are your specifications?

[WetPaint]

2001 or 2002 Sport in Black.

[MX-5 Lazza]

That's a very limited specification. There are very few black Mk2.5!

[Planet Claire]

Early reminder for Thursday's meet.

[WetPaint]

I'll be there, hopefully in my new car

Does one just wander up to strangers in the hope they are there for the same reason, or will it be blatantly obvious who you all are?

[Planet Claire]

It will be blatently obvious who we all are. As well as the car park of MX5s, where quite often people will be tyre kicking, you will find us on the long low of tables as you go into the cafe.

Yep, we will be the guys wearing anoraks, bobble-hats, cardigans and thick-rimmed glasses held together with tape all making notes using a notepad & pencil of all the non-standard parts on each others cars because we have no idea how to strike up a conversation and are uncomfortable in large groups

[WetPaint]

I'm no good in small groups, let alone large ones. I should fit right in

[The Hypno-Toad]

Might be able to make this if the timing works out......

Can the Toad come?

[Planet Claire]

Of course you can, Toady!

[Dump]

blatently obviously,

Believe me nice bunch, even when their parole officer leaves the table to go to toilet, just be careful of claire 'wandering hands etc'

I thought this was a Nutz meet?

[WetPaint]

Not that any of you are likely to care, but I can't make it now. Shame. I was looking forward to it

[MazDogMX5]

Tempted to come to this....

I pick up my '98 mk2 tomorrow night, having just bought it..
Worst case scenario is someone informs me it's a wreck...
