Papplewick Classic Car Meetings

[YKB]

Can anyone confirm the classic car meetings at the Griffins Head pub in Papplewick, Notts in the evenings of the first and third Wednesdays of the month are on again this year?

If so is the first one 5th May? It always a good excuse to get away from work

[simonigrale]

I assumed it would start again in May Tony

[YKB]

I guess we could just turn up and park in the field Simon I might give the pub a call tomorrow.

If they start on the 5th I'll miss that, bugger. I'll still be on a plane back from india, working not a holiday.

Thanks Paul. Is it first and third Wednesdays as last year?

[TailHappy]

Yep thats it Tony, same format as last year, 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month, May thru September. Starts around 6pm, i think there may be some snap laid on too! Speaking with Kev he wants to try and expand on last year and is keen to get even more classic/sports stuff along.

Here's some info

It's at the Griffins Head pub http://www.thegriffinshead.co.uk/

Cars start arriving from about 6pm and leave before dusk (ie. about 8pm this time of year)

Papplewick is north of Nottingham on the B6011 between the A60 & A611

Meeting is in the field at the back



What it looks like on a busy night

I know. popped along to Chatsworth but in the Panzer Wagon
The stock answer to when it's coming home is 'next week' but thats been the line for the past 5 weeks.
It's not car related issues holding up the rebuild but it's getting a little annoying....then once it's back it's off again for the boys at Carizma to work a little magic.....Waddington looks like the current deadline......

Bugger, if I had thought about it before, you could have taken mine to Chatsworth, we were away that weekend in the Porsche.

We will be at the White Hart on Tues and the Papplewick meet Weds with a For Sale sign in the Porsche Tony, is the missus coming to Papplewick?
