Anyone interested in a meet in Cobham, Surrey?
Discussion
Morning all,
Just seeing if there is an appetite for a get together in Cobham, in the next few weeks/ months.
A few locals have come out of the woodwork on the GT4 thread in the Porsche forum in the last couple of days, so I thought I'd start a thread to assess interest.
The Fairmile pub on the Old Portsmouth Road seems to host a few car clubs, so I could give them a call and see if they have a 'free' Saturday/ Sunday in the next couple of months where we could use the green out the front of the pub for parking/ walking round the cars:

A quick search suggests that it has been done before:

Would anyone be interested?
I can also recommend the Black Swan in Ockham as they do a monthly car meet but there isn't the parking area that the Fairmile has.
Any thoughts/ ideas - feel free to reply!
Edit to say: ALL makes and marques are more than welcome! We'll be there in at least 2 cars as no doubt the dog will be in tow

The Star in Malden Rushett (my local) has a few car meets, and is much better than the chav infested Fairmile.
Would I be viewed as the poor relative with my lowly 986?
I used to drive through MR everyday on my way to work in Epsom! I guess I still do, most days.Would I be viewed as the poor relative with my lowly 986?
I am sure we can raise the standard of the Fairmile... It's not on the Chessington Bypass after all
986s would be very much welcome!

Certain caravan owners descending on the Fairmile would raise the standard - you've clearly never been there in the warmer months makes the Haywain in Epsom seem positively upmarket!
I had lunch (if you can call it that) at the Haywain on Monday... so, you can probably ignore any opinion I have in the future makes the Haywain in Epsom seem positively upmarket!Might take you up on that
It's the only place my old work buddy will meet me so we don't get spotted in Epsom town - LOL
Ok, so - have a visit to the Fairmile pencilled in for tomorrow. Will get some dates up here tomorrow.
Have woken up post-fight in a house full of girls. Sadly, they're Mrs9's friends who had a girlie night in while I was at the pub.

Don't worry Ben - the cars will be safe at the Fairmile and there is loads of parking and a good entrance/ drive.
They currently have the first Sunday of every month free, so I've had us pencilled in.
They open at 12:00pm but said we could come from 11:00am and they'd get the teas and coffees on for us.
That should mean it's nice and quiet when we get there and people can slope off if/ when it starts filling up for lunch, if they want.
So, how does it sound if we give it a go on Sunday, 4th of June and make it a regular thing if it goes well?

Unfortunately I'll be working at Brands Hatch otherwise I'd be there in my Caterham. If it becomes a regular thing, I'll definitely make it along at some point.
It would be great to get this going regularly but let's see how the first one goes!Spread the word, chaps and chapesses!
Great!
