Potential meet in the Stroud/Dursley area

[High flier]

Hi all,

It's been a while since I've been to any PH's meets. In fact since I moved up here in 2016, I don't think that I've been to any. There used to be a meet at the Weighbridge Inn, but that's died a death. I was thinking of organising a meet up here, but thought I'd test the waters first.
I've got a place in mind, which has ample parking and does a good breakfast. I thought it'd be good to do a breakfast and then drive out.

So, who'd be interested?

[High flier]

Thanks for replying all! It's good to see that there's some interest.

For the meet, I was thinking of heading to The Old Flying Club at the Bristol & Gloucestershire Gliding Club for breakfast. Their Facebook page is here: The Old Flying Club
They've got a tarmac car park, with no speed bumps, and they're happy to host us, which is always a good start! They serve breakfast from 9 - 11, so I was thinking of meeting for breakfast at 0930-1000 there, and then perhaps head off for a drive at around 1100 - 1130 to finish at the newly refurbished pub in Coaley, The Old Fox. Their Facebook page can be found here: The Old Fox
Their car park isn't huge, but 100m away is the car park for the Church/Village Hall/Shop. Both of which are again, tarmac with no speed bumps. There's also plenty of on road parking.

I'll have a think about dates. Probably looking at end of March/April, once it's warmed up a bit, and I know what I'm doing work wise!
I assume no one has any preference for Saturdays or Sundays?

Fingers crossed it'll all work out and we can make it a regular thing!

It's all gone quiet.

Choose a weekend High flier.

Sorry. I’m still in the process of doing the various bits of training for my new job. I don’t have all the dates yet, and it some of it could be over a weekend.
I’ll see if I can chase them to see if I’m not needed next weekend, if that works for most/all?

I work at The Classic Motor Hub near Bibury in east Gloucestershire, and I'd welcome members of Pistonheads in the South West to come and meet at our place on a Saturday. Our Hub Coffee House and Shop and showrooms are open 10am to 3pm and we welcome enthusiasts and buyers to come along for a browse, some cake and a chinwag.

We have space for plenty of cars, an interesting historic site (former RAF Bibury airfield) and some incredibly historic cars and motorcycles for sale.

Feel free to drop us an email or a call if you'd like to meet up at our place.

Thanks Ben! It’d be great to organise something with you guys. I’ve heard of your place and it looks/sounds great. Once my work has settled down I’ll be in touch to organise a date for a little Pistonheads run out to you!

Hi all,

Sorry for being quiet! I haven't lost interest in sorting this. My problem has been work, which has been rather chaotic. I was meant to be starting in January, but the plane has been stuck in maintenance having an avionics upgrade, so my training has been pushed back several times. I was meant to collect it tomorrow, but it's been pushed back again to next week now!
That now means that I should have this Saturday free. Would that work for anyone?

Cheers,

HF

Thanks for the replies guys.

We’ll leave it for another weekend then. Hopefully I’ll manage to get something organised in July.
