August Meet

Drizz · 29-07-2007, 00:30

Right I think its time we had a proper meet this time as opposed to Southend. Im sure we will nip down there again in August but maybe we should have an alternative location this month.
We can do Chelmsford again or Braintree, Sudbury, Ipswich etc

Any ideas for this one? Anything anyone would like to do and when? Quite a lot happening this month what with Ford Fair, USC, Donny South, Touring Car day (special invite only

) so dates are limited and also bear in mind we have Trax first weekend in September so do we even need one this month?

Sod it shall we just go Southend again?

Sudbury or Ipy gets my vote! Or a trip up north to Norwich

**MarkW** · 29-07-2007, 03:13

I'm not around 17th/18th or at the end of August.

Drizz · 29-07-2007, 09:46

Well saturday the 4th is busy for a few of us, Sunday the 5th is Ford Fair, Sunday 19th is Donny South (for the drifting not the show

) and 25th is Touring Car Day for a few of us so its either 11th/12th or 18th????

Woolleyman · 29-07-2007, 18:50

Well iam busy next weekend, 19th aug and trax weekend, and that the stuff i know of.

I don't care where the meet is, just get some dates on

Need to clarify with the missus, so she can remove the leash from around my neck

Spinbitch · 30-07-2007, 18:45

Don't think i've got much booked up for augest so should be able to pop along.

Stu_CDX · 01-08-2007, 10:45

19th is my 17th Birthday!

Apart from the 19th, every other day is good for me... Apart from Enrolment day at college!

Where in Braintree/Sudbury do people meet?

Drizz · 10-08-2007, 22:34

Any more on this? August is getting on

Stu_CDX · 11-08-2007, 07:05

My Suggestion: *Braces self to get ignored!*

Wednesday 23rd August at Colchester, continuing on to a pub, carpark etc in the local area...

*My suggestion was made as Colchester is pretty central and has lots of places/things to see and do*

**MarkW** · 11-08-2007, 12:20

Weekdays are a bit odd for most peeps Stu, personally, I work till 1900 most nights so I couldn't make it.

Don't let that stop anyone else though.

I'm gonna be busy for the next few weekends, V next weekend, wedding reception and Prince concert weekend after that and a weekend stag do the weekend after that. Sorry guys.

Drizz · 11-08-2007, 16:12

Yeah as Mark said chap weeknights are a bit of a no go TBH. People up early for work or late home wont bother going, needs to be weekend. Shall we just leave it for Trax now?

Stu_CDX · 11-08-2007, 18:21

I knew it!

Won't bother next time

Brian Stirrup · 12-08-2007, 11:54

All sudgestions welcome mate

Thats the whole point of the thread,

to be honest a lot of other clubs have very succesfull weekday meets, but they tend to be clubs like RS owners or Jap clubs with dedicated members who's life revolves around there cars and the clubs...

We are realy just Vauxhall owners who love our cars but have a life and use the meetings as a chance to get together for a drink and a chat..... we rarely ever stand outside by the cars for petes sake....

I think Trax is gonna be the best idea mate, perhaps having one late September would be best.

Woolleyman · 12-08-2007, 14:50

Ill proberly see you at trax but will be busy on another stand

Drizz · 12-08-2007, 19:33

Well a few of us are carless at the mo so trax will be best then one end of september with southend in the mix too...

Woolleyman · 12-08-2007, 20:34

Ill do southend even if iam in danni's corsa

AndySTT · 13-08-2007, 00:19

Let me know what finally happens Drizz. Not going to Trax (not cleared with Boss) so it will be good to catch up.

Drizz · 13-08-2007, 07:20

OK mate will do!

Spinbitch · 13-08-2007, 18:02

Ditto, unlikely to be at Trax with the car still being knackered. (At this rate gonna miss that R&R on mk3oc too

)

Stu_CDX · 14-08-2007, 09:53

What about at the end of the month (Last saturday of August...)

I say 25th August, Hare & Hounds pub (Braintree) or The Albert in Colchester?

And then on to Mersea Island for a beach party

Drizz · 14-08-2007, 09:55

Unfortunately as above a few of us have Touring car day on the 25th so not many of us will be here...

**MarkW** · 14-08-2007, 19:52

And I'm at a Prince gig with the wife in London Sat night, so will be recovering Sunday.

Nay mind, it's only one month missed.

We'll just have to make sure September's meet rocks!!!

Too Fecking Right! I spent hours on Google looking for easy to find pubs near well known main roads with a big enough car park for the eastern region

Yes, September will have to make up for this ! Especially as I've now gone cross eyed!!!

Drizz · 14-08-2007, 20:50

Cheers chap but you wasted youre time

You went cross eyed for nowt. We know most of the usable pubs in the area. Thanks for looking round though!
