Best day for me mate would be a Sunday. Could possibly make a Thursday night but evenings are out for me really.
Rikos
May 3 2007, 02:01 PM
Where abouts you thinking of having it?
I cant do weekends until aftter 27th May but i could do an evening.
I'd be up for this if i can make it and it's not to far away from me as money is tight at the minute
Chris.S
May 3 2007, 02:05 PM
Either the pub at crewe again or somewhere in Staffordshire, if we can all agree on a date and time. personally id prefer a Sunday night
Rikos
May 3 2007, 02:07 PM
The closer to the A50 the better i dont suppose you fancy the plank and leggit at long eaton.
It's not far away from staffs, i know it's more east midlands but we had a decent turn out last time.

i can never get to it earlier enough thats the problem, i was thinking maybe Stafford or Cannock which are within easy reach of the M6 and the A5 or A38

I can do Stafford i've got family there so can pop and say hello at same time. A Monday night would be spot on over next couple of weeks after that weekends are fine.
Any ideas of date you may be thinking?

June is fine for me and a weekend would be good too as i'm pretty sure that'll be easier for everyone as well.
Where abouts in Stafford have you got in mind?
Yaumeister
May 3 2007, 06:23 PM
I'm up for it, once a date and time is set I'll try to work my schedule around it.

May 3 2007, 06:32 PM
There is the Red Hill, just off Junction 14 of M6. Or you got The Orange Tree just off Junction 13. Easy to get too from Manchester and Birmingham, Or in Yaumeister's case Northampton

I’d like to come along, but it largely depends what work throws at me. But, the end of May or beginning of June is not good timing. Don’t you know there’s proper racing on a small island in the middle of the Irish Sea – and it’s the centenary year this year? Yes, of course, it is Isle of Man TT time and I shall be there (by bike, not by Lexus, obviously).

Hello Chris
Sundays are good for me mate and Stafford or Cannock would be fine any date should be ok as not that far away..
boddamloon
May 4 2007, 12:01 AM
If it were a Sunday Afternoon i would maybe make it and it gives me the chance to drive back at night.
Rikos
May 4 2007, 07:55 AM
Sundays are looking like the most popular day so how about one of the sundays in June as long as it doesnt clash with any other events.
Either 3rd 10th or 17th of June??
Lee or Chris which of the 3 pubs mentioned has the most space for cars. Food in the Shire house is quite good not sure if i've been to the other 2.
Chris.S
May 4 2007, 08:42 AM
we used to do midlands meets on a regular basis to the shire horse on sunday afternoons, then we used to drive upto the local cruise scene afterwards which was normally Stoke but nowadays its mostly in Cannock

Shire horse sounds good then. Not really too fussed about a cruise though, they seem to be for all the riced up saxos and corsas
Chris.S
May 4 2007, 09:20 AM
theres some good cars on the scene now, theres a mustang and a plymouth roadrunner that regulary make an appearance
Rikos
May 4 2007, 09:20 AM
So thats the venue sorted

now just the date

I'll come the pub for the meet and then we can see if anyone wants to go on from there to Cannock after a bit.
Chris.S
May 4 2007, 09:42 AM
Ok so the shirehorse it is, just need a suitable sunday in June for everyone
lee_iceman

When's JAE? I think I'm in Berlin in the middle of June, then in London for a weekend after, I'm all confused, but if I'm around, I'll pop down
Rikos
May 4 2007, 10:41 AM
So how about 10th or 17th any of these good for everyone.
Think 10th is better for me as i may be away on 17th not sure yet though.
Chris.S
May 4 2007, 10:52 AM

Rikos
May 8 2007, 10:06 AM
Can make it late afternoon thats fine but thought 10th was best for most people i dont know whether i'll be able to make 17th either.

May 8 2007, 10:45 AM

I would like to leave no later than 5pm so i guess if it were from 1-5pm say that would be ok but dont worry too much about me as i am going to the glossop meet aswell

I dont want to be greedy

If the majority prefers evening its cool
