National gathering?

**AndysR** · Monday 25th July 2011, 22:53

I know I managed to get a few of us together for the Essex meet last month and I hope that same crowd will be able to meet again the second week of August but how about a more central national gathering?

I noticed that people on the forum were asking about meets farther up north and down south but what if we could get everyone together for one meet once a year? Maybe more frequently if we all fancy it? I know fuel is expensive these days and at nearly £100.00 a tank to do all of about 300 ish miles doesn't make for the most economical thing to do in your spare time but surely we can get a suitable enough date where all off us can get together?
As a social club newbie I can not express how welcome I have felt at the few club focused events i've been to recently and how much I think we would all enjoy meeting up together and grabbing a drink and some food whilst talking about all things Volvo, with maybe some movie quotes thrown in for good measure.. lol

So what does everyone think? A national group meet before we enter the winter? Somewhere central and accessible to all, I'd be up for it. If there are people on route I don't mind picking them up along the way if they'd rather not drive, for £100 of course

Joke!

That reminds me I guess I am well overdue getting a VPC sticker, must get one ordered

I assume there is no dodgy club initiation process to go through...

Im certainly interested. I always think for central meets where people have to travel far and wide that the availablility to "camp out" is always a good thing and allows those who have the time and dont fancy the long journey at night to travel the next morning.

Wobbly Dave used to do a big summer BBQ for everyone and offered camping in the garden.

Its definately worth looking into. I would look into it myself but with Trax and a Dyno day to look into I have a little on my plate at the moment.

As for sticker, contact Justin hand over £2.50 and a package will arrive in the post.

That's fine if we can generate enough genuine interest I don't mind spending the time arranging something...

Will get the sticker sorted asap

Definately, depending on location I'd consider it.

i would be interested in this especially if it could be a weekend event rather than just 1 day would bringing my old faithful dog be a problem?

Is this before or after you sort the engine? lol

Good suggestion though, we won't annoy any locals and Pedro can wander the fields looking for BT or Burgers or even

in peace....

Podmeet?

Lets bring the big Swedish noise...

**Wobbly Dave** · Tuesday 26th July 2011, 00:16

Next RWYB at Santa Pod is Sunday 21st. If there is enough interest we can camp or use the Travel Inn nearby - as we have done before back in the mid noughties....
