2018 Summer Gathering
As a distraction from the cold outside, I want to start the ball rolling on a forum get together in the Summer.
The Tribute boys ‘next door’ have set a high standard with their gatherings.
I think the original Sammio get together in 2012 had three cars.
( With Patton’s ‘Skippy’ just out of range of the photo. )
Then there were regular sighting of three cars in the Norfolk area before Mr T sold his.
The most I have managed so far is ‘one and a half’. ![icon_wink](images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
( And I'm still gutted this photo was so blurred. )
But I’d really like to see a nice collection of Sammios in one place, plus their Miglia & Formosa cousins too.
We can still throw the invite open to other forum members once we have a cunning plan.
So if you would be interested in meeting up, let me have your thoughts and ideas.
Personally, my Plan A would include an overnight stay so we could have a few beers in the bar.
But I would still be happy with a Plan B which was a single day meet up before heading home.
I’m based in NW London, but can head off in any direction from the M25.
Cheers, Paul. ![Smile](images/smilies/smile.gif)

Hello Paul,
I like your plan A (I,ve to come from the Netherlands..)
My car is running better and better so i t hink a trip to England should be
possible,although it would be a challenge without a roof.
(i,m not driving in the snow like you do)
So please order some nice weather in forward.
Please let me know your plans so i can try to organise things around work.
Gr.Rob

Glad to see there is some interest in this.
We will probably struggle to find a location that is central to everyone.
So it would help if you could post any practical travel limits from where you live.
Cheers, Paul. ![Smile](images/smilies/smile.gif)

Well done you chaps, I am sure there will be some other forum participants who would like to attend or drop in. Now make it happen.

I'd be up for this, even if I have to travel in something modest. Summer 2019 is my new "on the road" date. Cue laughter - ![Flypig](images/smilies/flypig.gif)

That's a cracking venue, and a cracking event, but not, this year, on a cracking weekend ![Frown](images/smilies/frown.gif)
Why not go the whole hog and meet here?
Classic Le Mans

This is not very scientific, but I've marked up the following on a map.
Swindon - Sammio HQ
Poole/Dorset - Formosa & Tribute HQs
Norwich - Mr T, Phil & Barry
It all depends on how far people want to drive.

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. ![Smile](images/smilies/smile.gif)

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.

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 ![Smile](images/smilies/smile.gif)
