Following the big turn out at Heaton Park, hows about a meet in April sometime 8th/9th? Somewhere with less traffic would also be good!

I might be up for it too!!! Any idea's on which day?? Anything for kids to do?? Apart from scratch shineyier looking Volvo's than mine ;)

BigJC
Tuesday 4th April 2006, 21:55
There's a huge adventure playground and field for footie etc, a farm place that lets the kids get close to the animals but there is a piccie of spesh with some kind of warning that I couldn't quite make out...

So, is it this Sunday or the one after?I'm cool for both as I'm off all next week :)

N23, you interested? It's only up the road and we could start the bumper relay for BlackBeast!

Muddy

TangoDeltaSierra3
Saturday 8th April 2006, 16:22
All i can say is that this thread has been a total ££££ up!

If ANYONE intends to organise ANY meets you have to take ownership from start to finish, OR the end result is Chaos, like this. Tomorrow is now too short notice for me & next weekend i'm working! Great.

BigJC
Saturday 8th April 2006, 16:50
Meets are what people make of them, are you suggesting its compulsory to attend once someone has picked a date?

Tomorrow is soon but the dates been an option for weeks, if no-ones up for it, no one goes, no worries, I don't see what the fuss is about!

Tomorrow is soon but the dates been an option for weeks, if no-ones up for it, no one goes, no worries, I don't see what the fuss is about!The point is a date should have been decided by whoever organised the poll - in this case i believe you - and people given at least a weeks notice of whichever date. Ie if its tomorrow, then last weekend, having organised 4 or 5 in my time i know how hard it is to pull em off, fiasco's like this just put people off in the end.

After last week, I thought this one was going to be dropped and with Avon Park on the Monday there wasn't many takers.

But Saturday 22nd April (12pm) gives people a bit of time and hopefully the weather might have cheered up and the only other meets that weekend are Anglesey and North East on the 23rd.
If you've got kids, there's stuff for them to do - a farm, playground - and a maze.

Hey, just heared the weather is supposed to be good on Saturday, warmer apparently, come on all you Northern members, come out and show off your shiny bits...................

BigJC
Thursday 20th April 2006, 20:36
Right theres a Travel Bin at the traffic lights on the A556 at Bucklow Hill halfway between the M6 & M56. Theres a Merc specialist dealer and a petrol station at the same set of lights.

It's got a big enough car park and it's within 5 mins of Tatton's Rostherne entrance.

Meet there at 12pm? Don't forget your £4 to get into the park but you get the playpark in with that price!

I would've liked to come but I cant Saturday because its my litle girls birthday and we're taking her out for the day, ah well maybe next time.

BigJC
Friday 21st April 2006, 12:11
Nah, I'm sure we'll be still there, at the park not the pub!

Liddo
Friday 21st April 2006, 18:37
BTW, I'll need someone to do an unbiased assesment of my car, and see if you think its worth the asking price. Im selling her to The Saint hopefully.

See you all tomorrow

Directions or postcode?

rickbee
Friday 21st April 2006, 23:18
Junction 19 off M6 Rich, turn right, take a556 towards Manchester. four lane road, not dual carriageway, watch the speed, couple of cameras, Hotel is on right at second set of lights, about four miles from motorway

BigJC
Friday 21st April 2006, 23:21
Rich, we're meeting at the Travel Bin at this postcode: WA16 6RD

It's just off the A556. Easiest route is M6 junction 19, A556 towards M'cr, you'll pass through 2 sets of lights v close together (might be one) and past Mere country club on your right. Watch for speed camera on your left (40mph I think) and at the next set of lights turn right, there will be a petrol station on your right with travel bin opposite!!
If you reach the M56 at light speed, turn around you've gone too far!
You've got my mobile if it goes Pete Tong!

Rick beat me to it!!!!! Must type faster!

Looks like you had a good day and a LOT warmer than the last one! Cars look fantastic, credit to the forum, impressed with the effort that went into the shiny stuff.

I spent the day sourcing bits and lying under Pongo. Pongo now starts reliably, just got to put all the wiring back today and find out why the grease is getting out of one of the CV joints!

Apologies again for missing this one, but I really have got to get Pongo sorted by the end of the weekend. Hope to see you all at the next one!
