so is this going to happen.....any news on this front

What about Stoneleigh ? kit car weekend ? fairly central , and kill two birds with one stone ?

Phil - Yes, I hope this is still going ahead and now that the clocks have gone forward we should start planning for sunnier times.

Gary - Personally, I'd prefer to do something with just the forum, so we could include the option of going for a group drive somewhere.

Everyone Interested - Any more ideas or suggestions, or restrictions on where and when?

Cheers, Paul. :)

PS
Sorry, I should have added that I am happy to do whatever is the most popular option to get as many of us in the same place at the same time.

Exactly- Stoneleigh is near Coventry, the show is on Sunday 5th and Monday 6th May, camping is cheap, B&Bs close by, you can arrive on Saturday and stay until Tuesday.

I stay Saturday and Sunday nights, camping with the Jago crowd, there's a shop and bar on site. The onsite hotel is probably fully booked by now and unfortunately the reasonably priced lodge rooms closed a few years ago.

Despite my best intentions, I have not been able to spend enough time getting this event fully organised.

So when I read this ‘next door’ about the last Tribute gathering…

I decided to KISS and based on the map…

Somewhere around the M25/M1 join (Hemel Hempstead / St.Albans) appears halfway between the two arcs.

A choice of two dates:
#1 - Saturday, 9th June 2018
#2 - Sunday, 10th June 2018

A choice of two options:
A- Meet up mid-morning, go for a group drive out, return for lunch and an afternoon of chat.
B – As above, but stay over, which means it would have to be the Saturday.

A choice of accommodation:
I’ve looked at camping, rooms in pubs, cheap hotels and nice hotels.
But I struggled to find a venue that would cover more than one option.
So if Option B is the most popular, we will have to cross that bridge another day.
But I think to really be KISS, we need to stick with A and just agree a date.

Answers on a postcard please…

Paul L Is the event welcome for junior members with not finished cars to attend? So they can get inspiration to finish there projects and Future wife can see what the finished car looks like:icon_biggrin:

If so we can attened either date in June.

Best regards

Yorkshireman

Anyone else?

Or am I looking for a venue that can cope with one kit car and three people?

:icon_wink:

Sorry, but I'v been committed to a wedding that weekend . :ohwell:

Dont remember seeing your name on my daughters wedding list Mick :noidea:

Ooops, It's my sisters fourth time around so it's a bit of a waste of time. :icon_rolleyes:
But, is the first time the whole family has been together since my mum died so I am committed.:ohwell:

Obviously, I didn't realise I'd pick such a popular wedding date!

It would be a big help if people who expressed an interest confirmed one way or the other.

Cheers, Paul. :)

Ohh a meet up! i'll be up for something (not that i'm late to this thread in any way....)

Given that i'm in 2 of the photos you posted (that original Sammio weekend was a laugh even with just a few of us!) , i'd be up for something, but everything going on in work means that i can't commit until nearer the time sadly.

I hate to say it but Swindon does look like a good central point, meaning Castle Coombe might be a good location. Plus i can get there easily without going near the bl**dy M5!

i'll keep an eye on this thread and see what comes of things :)

There is an vehicle event a Castle Combe in a few weeks!

Dave - It would be great if you could make it, but I fully understand how work can get in the way.

Any more Yes / No / Maybes?

I'm a maybe ...depending on work commitments ..but would love to attend ...
