Discussion

Any new on the next planned meet yet??
yeah right!! on the really enthusiastic response from the last one!! :sarcastic-smiley:
feel free to organise one.. I'd definately like to go to another...
Now what happened to all that enthusiasm I detected in the earlier pages of this post Pierscoe1 ???
Why don't we go a regular meet rather than ad hoc ones. This would make it easier to organise as we'd all know where and when to turn up when the date rolls round. A bit like the TVRCC meets say?
Obviously we'd need to avoid the Sundays where a meet already takes place:
TVR Mids - 3rd Sunday of the month
TVR EMids - 2nd Sunday of the month
etc, etc.
What do you think - would this make life a bt easier?
Mrs FFG
OK then, 1st or last Sunday of each month, somewhere in the Bermuda square of Derby-Nottingham-Leicester-Birmingham.
How about Nottingham East Midlands Airport or all that rough open ground that counts as a car park at the Donnington Collection as a meeting point? Have a run around, then find a pub?
Dibs in folks.

Right then, proper run and day out?
We have missed the 1st Sunday this month, so how about the last? Sunday 25th April.
Propose meeting at the McDonalds where the A444 crosses the M42/A42. Having a indirect run to somewhere of interest, like say the newly refurbished Road Transport Museum at Coventry (Thrust SSC is on display), pub lunch mid afternoon.
Any takers?

Good idea. Was at the Road Transport Museum the other week with a view to doing a piece for PH. Big problem with the Transport Museum though is there's no car park so you'd have to use one of Coventry city centre car parks and walk. Not a problem with one car load, but not so good for a large group.
Hmm its not going to be easy,
1) Needs to be fairly central
2) Needs to have a big open space for parking
3) Needs to be a watering hole (Pub)
4) Needs to have some decent roads for a gentle pootle around
5) could do with being where there are alot of women
Cant think of any more things that are relevant please feel free to add to it.

This will go on forever.
Surely the best idea is to set a date, venue and wait and see??, I know it's soul destroying to make the effort to get people together to find that in the end things dont happen.
So, don't put too much effort in.
Donnington Services (Junc 24A off M1) was a suggestion. It has a large car park and as mentioned there are some nice roads leading from there.
How's about April 25th, 11:00am, @ Donnington Services???

Well that's three of us so far! 
Shame, always fancied a closer look round a Bentley.

as dontlift will testify (with his karting events) apathy destroys enthusiasm...
please go ahead and organise a monthly event.. it would be great to have one in the midlands
Indeed it does, especially when you have to put your own cash up to secure the venue, and get rampant apathy in return.....!
I will happily arrange a Saturday Afternoon karting event for mids region (but only if there are enough people willing to commit upfront to the event). The circuit is excellent www.suttoncircuit.co.uk/ and has a good size car park for us all, food etc can also be laid on for the event. coast would be around £40 per head
