2007 VPCUK National Meet

**Matt30462** · Tuesday 18th July 2006, 17:57

As the title says, a big National meet up.
We are now big enough, just look on the first page, nearly 2000 members. Of course some are not about anymore, some are not available. Next year we are going to try and have a National Meet Up. No arguments as to venue, no arguments as to date etc. It's a years notice so everyones diary can have a space allocated. Once decisions are made, that will be it. Members will have to decide if they want to come or not on the dates and at the venue given. Every attempt to make these details accessable to as many as possible will be considered but no matter when or where is decided some people will sadly have to be disappointed.

We will obviously be fixing a date, it will be when kids are off school or a long weekend, whichever is more practical.
Attempts will be made to get discounted accomodation for a block booking, probably a caravan park, with camping facilities for those that prefer.

Monies (at least a deposit) will have to be paid up front when details are sorted, you are not commiting to anything yet. However please be sure you want to come if you put your name down at the eventual time of booking as deposits will possibly be none refundable.

Ok, Here starts a provisional list.

1. Matt30462 + 3
2. JudgeNinja + 2
3. Rufe +1
4. Big Tony
5. T5ER +

bit to far off for me to confirm yet plus i am now very very skint, alot can happen in that amount of time

**Rufe** · Tuesday 18th July 2006, 18:18

actually, in the first link i posted above it states

"I have been informed that due to a few irresponsible people parking on the beach is no longer allowed."

have we anyone local able to confirm this for certain? if you want i can try to find out, as i know some people down that way.

Parking is banned on our beach in Rhosneigr, Anglesey...but people still do it....

i thought it had been physically closed off to cars there. didnt want to take the thread off a tangent as matt said location not to be discussed, but thought this was worth mentioning.

You can't organise a National meet at a venue you may not be allowed on. Tbh i think its too far for ALL to be expected to travel. I would say Billing Aquadome is far more accessible, has camping, bars, etc.....

**Matt30462** · Tuesday 18th July 2006, 18:37

Bo**o*ks.

It appears that there IS now a ban. That scuppers that idea. Yet another blow at the car driver.
Back to the drawing board. Some editing will be required on the first post but we will push ahead regardless and explore another venue. Perhaps Ainsdale near Southport. Car parking on the beach is allowed but racing is frowned upon.

Still, the main thing is to have a BIG meet.

Watch this space.

cromer,hunstanton,skeggy,blackpool,whitby bay,billing is very good thought as said by tds3

**Vikingxl** · Tuesday 18th July 2006, 18:53

Contacted Billing and they will be sending some details. It does appear to have alot to offer. The only thing that concerns me is the social thing. I was thinking of a mini weekender thing where we all stayed in the same place and had a BIG Night Out after all the car fun, slept "on site", sobered up and went home the day after.

**TangoDeltaSierra3** · Tuesday 18th July 2006, 19:16

I've never been to Billing, but the main consideration has to be fairness of travel for all, i know it has a bar etc, supermarket, BBqs etc...or look at such as Donington Park, easy access for every one.

**Justin** · Tuesday 18th July 2006, 19:16

Great idea, something i was planning to talk to the area co ordinators about soon, so you have beat me to it.

It needs to be huge, keep me posted please Matt
