The ‘bring back BT&P’ thread

[105.4]

I wonder how many would be up for a return of these events?

Or will this thread just bomb?

[Tyre Smoke]

I'm in!

First up, would need to decide on where in the country to hold the event.

I'm thinking Midlands?

I agree, Midlands would by the ideal location as it’s central for pretty much everyone.

Other priorities?

Large carpark
Several hundred hotel rooms
Nearby golf course
Large function room
And pies. Loverly, delicious pies

Golf course?

Obviously The Belfry then!

Why do we need a golf course?

Not quite sure that place would be big enough. Besides that, it looks alright.

[Tyre Smoke]

I thought the idea was to get dressed up, get pissed and chat crap?

Yeah, need a golf course for that.

So, turn up somewhere Saturday morning, golf players go and play, WAGS head to the Spa or town for shopping, the rest of us wander round the car park talking rubbish about each other's cars and then Saturday night is formal dinner and shenanigans? Full English Sunday morning and off home? Would that be a loose assessment?

Well that's one way to spoil a day out for most.

I’d say that’s an accurate assessment.

[Tyre Smoke]

Great. Well I'm happy to get involved with organising, but I'll need some help!

Exactly, why would a load of petrol heads want to play golf when you've got a carpark full of great cars?!

When you’ve seen one MX-5 and 335D, to be honest, you’ve seen them all…

[Tyre Smoke]

Ahh, but what about the map?

Where's the Midlands?

Is it anywhere near China?

Perhaps we need to change to format a bit so that it's not quite so 'corporate' but a bit more upmarket from fish and chips on the seafront?

I don't see a problem with £75 a ticket for a decent meal, etc. But realise there are other factors involved.
