Future of the southern meet

**Ettienne** · Thursday 5th March 2015, 10:42

What's happening this month? Number seem to have dropped off a lot, are we giving it a miss and maybe organise a quarterly meet instead?

I'm happy to organise something in Portsmouth most likely on southeick hill for an hour or 2 or the odd BBQ in the summer.

Not forgetting the monthly voc meet, I'll do that this month

What's everyond thinking?

Well I know I have not actually attended any just yet even though I said I will but I would like to attend this months of there will be one.

**Ettienne** · Thursday 5th March 2015, 11:15

Myself, mrp, Oblark and Neil, Charlie think won't be attending (from what I gather). I doubt there will be one this month.

However a hill top meet I'd be interested in Sunday morning for locals or who want to travel, for most Pompey is closer.

I attend annually.....lol......but seriously I think it's down to the time of year, we had a drop-off in numbers here and now they seem to be picking-up as the weather improves and days get longer and the change of venue is stirring up more interest too. It was nice to meet a few new people at are last meet and hopefully a few more for the next

I haven't got a car worth bringing!!

Volvo meets are probably going to be reduced a bit this year. I'm not sure I'm even going to make the big meets due to work!

I'd actually prefer a Saturday then we could pop to the local breakers for a parts hunt and there's a cafe near it I believe

How does a quartly meet sound?

Maybe at Merc world as it's mid way between the Essex and hants meet, plus it's a fantastic venue.

**JUDGENINJA** · Saturday 28th March 2015, 19:54

I still think the Softues meet is a good venue for us.. It's just a shame I can't commit to any dates at the moment..

**Ettienne** · Saturday 28th March 2015, 20:04

No one wants to organise it and it's always a pain to fix a date, but if it's a 3 monthly affair it can be argued over and a date fixed.

**stribo** · Saturday 28th March 2015, 20:19

Even then dates will be argued over.

**Ettienne** · Saturday 28th March 2015, 20:46

If someone else wants to take over please feel free.

But the point is, if it's every 3 months gives us plenty of time to argue and fix a date, rather than try to do 12 at once or in a 1 month period.

**stribo** · Saturday 28th March 2015, 21:33

All I'm saying is not everyone will be able to make whatever date's chosen, so they'll be disagreement.

**RichT4** · Sunday 29th March 2015, 10:09

It also helps when people actually turn up for the planned meet... (Portsmouth meet being the example here)

You would argue black was blue.

I'd attend only if Martin comes

You'd better speak to his wife then, she's the one who won't let him attend.

He stopped coming to the Softies meet long before that.

**Ettienne** · Sunday 29th March 2015, 16:41

If someone wants to take over organising the meet, please do, myself and Oblark are both really busy currently and mrp is not here to help.

Alternate venues are welcome.

There is a voc meet in south wick every month, we could piggy back?
