We will be in Car Park 3, which is right next to the BBQ's.

Me and my dad will be providing the general BBQ food (burgers/hot dogs etc.). You can bring your own if you wish though, also bring your own drinks or you can buy them at the park restaurant/shop.

Any questions, just ask!

I know I have not been around for long, and haven't been on a huge deal due to me being off work with Sciatica at the moment, but I suddenly had an idea which I am wondering if anyone would be interested in...

As you may or may not know before my IS300 I had a couple of Merc's and was in the MB club, I am beginning to really like the LOC and have slowly been trawling through the thousands of posts on here to try and get to know everyone and learn more about these amazing cars. I have not yet been to any meets or met any members in person, so I thought this would be an ideal opportunity to meet some members -

A joint meet with the Mercedes-Benz Club in Frimley, Surrey! It would not only give members from here the chance to meet and mingle with one-another but also the chance to chat with members from another car club. The MB Club I have been told by a few people sound like they are all snobs, I can tell you they really aren't, they are all down to earth and love cars just like you guys. I think it could be a really good day out for everyone.

The idea is to have a day-long BBQ at Frimley Lodge Park(you wouldn't have to stay all day); the car park is next to where the barbecues are and there are a few picnic tables, plus a children's play area and a few park-type fields nearby. Me and my Dad (who is the regional officer for the MB Club) could get some food and charcoal together & we could have a really good meet there.

It would be 'take turns in cooking the food' to be fair to everyone, but it wouldn't really be that hard if we got a lot of people. If you have them you could bring the wife and kids and possibly even the dog? It is a country park with plenty of space to run around and plenty to do.

Could you let me know your thoughts on this please, if there is some interest I will speak to my Dad about organising a date with the MB Club.

Cheers guys
Nick

Funny you mention this, I’m sitting at work staring out of the window looking at the beautiful clear blue skies, fluffly white clouds, and the glorious sun, and I’m thinking “ Why am I stuck indoors I want either an ice cream or a BBQ !!!”

This sounds like a nice idea, and I would be interested, however I have no wife or kids, and I don’t really want to be the only Lexus owner there.

If there are a few more people from here that are up for going, then I think there could be some good banter, with some good food !

lol, well I would be at least one other Lexus owner there...

Well Frimley Lodge Park is only about 10 mins away from me, so I don't think I'd have too much trouble making it !

I'm always up for a weekend drive . I'll probs come if this gos ahead

I will be up for it.

Hi Nick,

I am in Camberley, so not a problem for me.

Would be nice to chat to a few Merc owners........

Cheers

Rob

Excellent response, cheers guys! I will get my dad to put it to the MB Club and try to organise a date.
I will update as soon as I know more.

Cheers again.

I might be up for this too

Ok, so we have interest from MB Club, so we need to organise a date. I was thinking a saturday/sunday in June maybe?
Any better days, or days people couldn't come in June?

Cheers
Nick

Any time for me really.

Ok, According to the MB Club calendar they have only 2 major events in June, which leaves Saturday 13th, Sunday 14th, Saturday 20th, Sunday 21st, or Sunday 28th

I am ok for any of them, any preferences? If not I will just choose a date.

I think that the best date for this would be Sunday 21st June, which should give everyone plenty of notice and currently there is nothing happening on that date as far as I can see.

So...

[size=4][b]Sunday 28th June at Frimley Lodge Park[/b][/size]

[size=3]BBQ with the Mercedes-Benz Club. Bring whoever you want and bring your own drinks. Me and my dad will be sorting out the general BBQ food (burgers, sausages etc..) although you can bring your own if you want to.[/size]

We will be in Car Park 3, please see map here - [url="http://www.surreyheath.gov.uk/leisure/parksandrecreationareas/frimleylodgepark.htm"]http://www.surreyheath.gov.uk/leisure/park...eylodgepark.htm[/url]

Any questions, post or PM me

Cheers
Nick

Yes please !

No offence Steve...its just there’s no real smilie to show an "agree" feeling. Lol !

Sounds like fun

Do you have a full address or directions from M25 etc ?
(I think it's off the A30 somewhere ?)

Yes, you can come off the A30, or J3 or J4 of the M3 (J4 closer). Address is on the link posted by Nick, postcode GU16 6NS.

I cant understand why I didn't realise this, but the Japshow is on the same day as I have planned this..... I could have sworn I checked that, is this going to be a problem for anyone? Anyone want me to change it to 28th June?

probably best so no clashing TBH for anyone mate

I think so too. Sorry to do this lol

[size=4][b]Sunday 28th June[/b][/size]

28th June is fine with me.

Sounds good to me

Just a quick reminder about this BBQ as it is getting close, it would be good to have as many people there as possible from here supporting the LOC.

It is free food and a should be a great day out. If you have any questions, please ask.

Cheers

I'm still up for this, lets hope for good weather !!!!

Is every one else still up for going too ?

Also I've just seen there is no time on the post ?

What time is this starting ?

I'm still going.

I am going.

What time are the LOC members getting there?

Nick what time is this going on, when are most people getting there from the MB Club ?

Just hope the MB club recognise Lexus as decent/quality cars instead of "Oh you drive a posh Toyota". This seems to be the mentality of most MB owners I have come across

Bump !

Crap forgot about this. Going to see Rolex in Bristol on Sunday to sort out my charger hopefully. Might try and pop along later on - Will give you a ring Steve.

Sorry guys,

I have not been around due to a few relationship problems.... It is still on... I have told everyone to get there from about 10am. I will probably be there all day, so anytime after 10.

If you need my number for anything.... 07889140038

Cheers

I'm aiming to get over there around 11am, see you there (and sorry to hear about the relationship problems).

Ok excellent.... We will be parking in a field near to car park 3, so we have reserved parking

The BBQ is the other side of car park 3...

I am getting there around 10, so 11 is probably a good time, give us time to get everything running.

See you there, in the 80 F weather, lol

Looks like it's going to be a lovely day ! Poss rain later on but I think we'll be fine for the most part. See you there if you're going !

Big thanks to Nick and his Dad for organising this, it was fun. I don't think I've ever seen such a well-organised BBQ, they even had a bucket of soapy water to wash the BBQ utensils after using them to handle raw chicken !

Davros and I made it along with Nick, and we managed to have an equal number of Lexus there compared to Mercs (3 each), though other people came too with some different marques.

Nick, your car looked great and I hope you can get it sold soon for a decent price (folks - he's got an armrest !)

Sorry i couldn't make it along to this in the end - didn't end up leaving Bristol untill after 4 and then got stuck in the mother of all traffice jams on the way back (having got stuck in the daddy of all traffic jams on the way there) so just headed home.

Glad you guys had a good time - ended up subconsiously using Rolex's arm rest yesterday and decided that i need one! So might well buy yours Nick if you ever think about taking it off the car!

There isn't many, but here are a couple of pics from the meet !
