east anglia meet?????

[fast-t5]

just wondering guys when and where a meet down this way would be, as im back in the t5's again so wanting to have a few outtings this year, hoping to get the new one done the same as my old one(signature pic )

[linkin582]

im in. when and where ever just let me know !!!!!!

[850 t5 vs 600cc]

I'll have a go, just need notice.

[Chad]

im in Fordham in a couple weeks. im in if its then.

[Knight Rider]

depends how far 'east' we're talking

[Al115]

"Here be Dragans" East?... or nearer? :D

[siamblue]

Migt be up for it, depends how far away, don't want to do a 200 mile round trip though lol.

[Mrsmastiffs]

I would love to come to a meet up but its a bit difficult with 2 kids under 5 unless you chose a child friendly venue ;) Mr Mas however says he could be tempted :)

[mas]

Yes indeedie :eclipsee_

[t5d5 dan]

I am Northampton somewhere eastish would be good.

[fast-t5]

cool some interest excellent is two weeks gonna be to short notice? if not maybe a pub meet on a sunday to incorparate the children, around the fordham area if these details seem ok then ill have a look for a child friendly pub cheers guys?

[linkin582]

that's all good for me !!!

[mas]

Is Fordham anywhere near central to everyone , should we not chip in where we are ? . Im quite near Stanstead airport :duck: , might help someone who is farthest away or something. Anyway Fri to Sun are good for me very little on car wise in January.

Stevenage Beccles Norwich and Buntingford , 80 miles each way for the guy from Northampton and 81 for the Ilford chap , TBH I'd chuck Eley in as a suggestion maybe attract a couple more folk. :P

I'll drive anywhere round there N.P

Cheers Mas

[Vikingxl]

Fordham is too far for me at about 70 miles so imagine its even further for siam blue

[mas]

you're supposed to go to help me represent Hertfordshire :bud:

[Vikingxl]

Theres a shed load of Herts members where are they all hiding???

Seriously though i cant get away for that long right now

[Al115]

I'm in Herts and not hiding :p

[Bob B]

Fordham/Newmarket/Ely good for me too :B_thumb:

[fast-t5]

i dont mind guys newmarket would be easiest for access for everyone as its on the A14 so i dont mind if we can sort an area by the end of the week then i can find us somewhere to go cheers guys

[Libra]

I am in Bedford on the beds/bucks boarder so a meet would be good, so long as it is not a 2-300mile round trip.

[mas]

Newmarket or Ely are good for me and both of them are not only easier for me but I think easier for most folk. As long as our hamlet is no longer snowed in and its Fri-Sun I'd be pleased to pop up.

Regards Mas

[Vikingxl]

Has a date been sent yet??

Mas you have a pm

[Storm-Troll]

Come on... get a date up and place and I will Kidnap the Viking using a cattle prod and extra large Net and bring him along.....

[fast-t5]

ok if chad is coming down then it will be sunday the 17th of jan at newmarket ill find a venue over the weekend and post that monday if chad is not gonna make it we could delay it to give people more notice

[siamblue]

I can't do the 30th aas i will be at an Akita meeting,

Gary,

[mas]

Sundays at the mo are dead , no car events till Spring , no Golf too cold , no Dog events basically nothing more than the village pub on Sundays for Jan / Feb dont you just hate our winters.

So we're on for a Sunday drive out no problem, which ever is best for folk :eclipsee_

Regards Mas

[linkin582]

is there a date and venue sorted guys ?????

[linkin582]

bump !!!! is this still going to happen ???? speak up if your up for it still !!!
cheers guys

[mas]

I've always been up for it ( oooh missus) :slap:

[Libra]

What about, long shot, but meeting at Santa Pod for one of their events something like Straightliners held on the 14th March, thats a Sunday. Something for the whole family to come along to while us "Volvoheads" talk cars or whatever.

[mas]

I'm still up for a meet but looking at the deathly silence gap in posts there may not be too many who are :(

I'm always up for a Sunday meet if not otherwise engaged be it tea and a bacon roll or something more adventurous. :wiggle:

A regular meet is looking unlikely though isn't it.

Cheers

Mas

[Vikingxl]

I was over at Panics last week and he was saying hes up for a sunday morning meet,Im nearly always free on a sunday morning as is Storm Troll but he does have am issues lol

[mas]

Brunch instead of breckie then :deal:

[Vikingxl]

Lol maybe, i would say this sunday but i have no car as mines been away for a major job this week and its not going to be back here until sunday night

[mas]

It seems this topic is set to run and run :band:

[Vikingxl]

I will speak to the troll and panic see if we can sort something

[Storm-Troll]

Cant do this sunday as Im going away to Great Stone tomorrow and not back till sunday night.. but Next sunday is good.

[Chad]

How does next weekend sound?????? or the weekend after that????

i can pop down anytime on those 2 weekends....i have some friends in ely

[Crazy_C]

I do quite a few meets in East Anglia with my Prelude Owners Club so I'm always up for these meets :D

[Will_1223]

Right im new to the volvo scene but did alot of meets with previous cars, i am in ipswich which is close to most of them places stated, i am up for almost any weekend provided i can get someone to look after my dog but i do have my 9 month old daughter but she is well behaved (normally me thats the problem hahahaha), im not up for doing massive trips as it will cost me a fortune on fuel but once a month would be good or even once every 3 months until its too cold, this needs to get sorted and rolling, i know the only problem is venue as in where to go which we will be aloud to stay for more than 10 mins without being moaned at lol, i am willing to help out if anyone needs help organising things.

[mas]

My vote goes for a transport cafe with a nice big car park and a good english breakfast ! , they won't moan at a load of car folk. :B_steerin

I go ot the Silver ball on the A10 but I appreciate you would probbaly want to find a similar one a bit further east

Regards Mas

[Libra]

Is there any progress on actually sorting out a place to meet, a date and a time?

I too think that this thread is set to run and run and run and...you get the idea. If we are enthusiastic enough to have a VPCUK meet then we should get out bums off seats and brains into gear and come up with a plan.

[Knight Rider]

The Silver ball gets my vote

[siamblue]

Silver Ball for me too, if anyone fancies a Herts/Cambs meet?

[volvo440]

from great yarmouth good for any sunday possibly close to home have 2 kids under 3.

[Vikingxl]

Somone needs to get this sorted then lol

[Knight Rider]

So what dates are you available?

[mas]

Nice one we have a chance of an actual meet up ' with ' Bacon rolls :flying:

I can and will do any Sunday normally except 1st Sunday of each month when I go to the Classic car meet at Hertford Heath.

How about a suggestion of Sunday 16th May any good , I'm not fussed but just trying to get something positive sorted.

Regards Mas

[Knight Rider]

15/16th is my weekend working

[Vikingxl]

Im pretty sure i can make the 16th

[mas]

23rd is just as good for me :P

[Knight Rider]

23rd is a better day for me ( weekend off )

[Vikingxl]

lol i can probably do that as well

[mas]

How about Silver Ball cafe 23rd of May 11.00hrs. I only suggest that as people can get up late on a Sunday get there and have a bit of breckie , or have none and leave in time for there Sunday family dinners etc if they want. ? ( or whenever , I'd do earlier ) :smileypul

Regards Mas

[Vikingxl]

Im in
