It was the fact it turned into a Facebook party that got it stopped - too many cars behaving in an antisocial way. When it was the Avenue Drivers Club the turnout was eclectic, interesting and polite; never any problems with residents or police.
Such a shame it was hijacked.
Apparently that's what the new meets are. The more "mature" crowd with a smaller turnout, but better behaviour. The Police and council are supposedly ok about it too. I might give it a go again, as I lost interest when it turned into a free for all.Such a shame it was hijacked.

I have been told (by Brian the coffee chap) that there are small meets on the last Sunday of the month in Queen Square now. Has anyone been to one yet ?
Yes, last one very quiet more police and traffic wardens than cars. One before still had owners being irresponsible. 
I'm at Race Retro on the last Sunday this month, but will try and make the March one.Sounds like it might be worth wandering down there. Last Sunday of the month?
I remember talk a while ago about a meet in the Cotswolds based on the 'older' crowd. Did anything ever happen about this? Personally i think that would be great - meet in a nice village and maybe a drive around afterwards

Interesting topic - The guy which runs the show now for QS is a complete and utter tool. I have friends who work at the dealerships that Dan Grazier (QS owner) 'pops' into constantly. He expects god-like treatment, will eat all of the biscuits (reserved for buying customers), acts like a child, then demands a "test drive". For some reason having a FB page now entitles the page owner to the same rights as a fully fledged motoring journalist.... Not..
Unfortunately and I don't blame Dan for trying, he now has a reputation at the dealers in Bristol, Swindon etc. The staff at dealerships know who he is and his attitude is his downfall. All I hope for is he continues to argue with his FB members, as it is truly cringe-worthy and hilarious at the same time.
Oh, and his write-ups are bloody awful!!!! They are just the ramblings of a muppet.
