March Southern Softies Meet Ideas...

[M-R-P]

Ok, time to start thinking about the next Softies meet. I would like to see these meets become as successful as the Essex meets if I can, so I've been doing a bit of brainstorming.
Now there's the easy option; go to one of the two locations used previously, the Vine attracted a respectable turnout and was a nice location for "test drives" and "Dog Hill" was a good spot for photographs.

Another option would be another location. We could all throw ideas for locations in the mix and see what we settle on.

Just to add something to this to make it a bit more interesting, I've been toying with the idea of some sort of Point to Point run. A timed run, stopping at various places along the way, and points added or deducted for matching a base - time for each stage.
This would take some organising so, I'll put it to a poll and see what you all think.

Let's make the Southern Softies Meet a BIG one this month peeps

That's not a bad idea for the may softies meet... We could make up the volvo numbers

It's free to get into the show, but have to pay to get in the museum. There is photos of last years show. On the Swedish day uk website,

There was at least 2 850's. I was parked next to a Gul T5-R, And was another 2 over a bit I think.
I'd be up for Haynes.

[Mr_Shed]

I would be interested in the Swedish day at Haynes too

[Porcine_Aviator]

I think I can speak for Mrs PA when I say we would be up for Swede Day at Haynes
I suppose I would have to wash Christine then?

Yep, you can - sounds like a plan.

Doing "Dog Hill" this weekend with a Ford owners club, so wouldn't be a problem to do it another weekend in the Volvo. Haynes museum sounds good.

Cool, I'll start a thread for this month's softie meet and the haynes meet later

Excuse me for butting in, but would these meets be alot more successful if they were more regional? I mean, if you say a Southern meet on the M27, well thats no where near me and i live in Kent! Gonna take 2 hours at least (if the M25 isn't parked up) and half a tank of fuel! Then another half tank driving back not to mention food for the day.

By regional i mean, London meet, Kent meet, Essex meet, ie by county. Tell me to §§§§ off if you like, but just a suggestion. Obviously people that wanna come from outside those counties would of course be welcome to make the numbers up.
