Are there any meets regular or occasional that happen north / Mid / West Norfolk that any one knows of? Any shows that people attend. Many thanks.

There's quite a few in the Norfolk area but rarely a meet. I guess it comes down to someone organising them too. I know of around 6 people off the top of my head Between Norwich and Kings Lynn.
It shouldn't be too hard to organise. Who's interested ?
i am up for it.
Count me in!
Meeeeeeeeeeee, im up for it.
Well thats 4 so far !!
Yeah that sounds good, i believe i am very close to two of the guys interested. Good to say hi and chew the fat.
Flying Moose, where is your home station, i run with the First Response scheme in Norfolk Just wondered if had seen you on station at some point? Regards, Andy.
hi guys...............just a suggestion but if you do organise a meet try avoiding 2nd sunday of month....................as i say its just a suggestion but that is the day of essex meets..........if norfolk meet was a different weekend i for one would try to make it occasionally as i'm sure some of the other essex boys might...................not trying to interfere .....hope this helps

If so I suspect you work with me ;)

15th July should be a go for me.
[quote=WHITE999-T5;509283]15th July should be a go for me.[/quote] OK thats two of us for the 15th

I may be able to make the 15th but would need to confirm closer to the time.
No worries Emlyn...
Where you thinking about meeting? Might be able to get a pass for that day
Was going to organise the meet around the members, cos i am happy with anywhere. My first thoughts were maybe Hunstanton ?
Sunny Hunny sounds good to me
The names so far WHITE999-T5 T5RPete 850-shane BLACKDOG andyb1375 Going to have a meet at Hunstanton
Are people looking to come on there own or, are people bringing respective other halves with them? No prob either way, just enquiring.
[quote=WHITE999-T5;512180]Are people looking to come on there own or, are people bringing respective other halves with them? No prob either way, just enquiring.[/quote] I am happy either way. I will probably bring my 2 girls (7 and 10)
Ok cool, any particular times we would look to meet and where in Hunny?
Couldn't make it further north if you lot tried! lol
Sunny Hunny, the great North Norfolk coast. Spent many an hour there. Assuming the meet is still set for the 15th I may well be on leave now as Im due to be going away with work for a few weeks the following Monday. If so ill be there.
The meeting is deffo still on, however the venue may change as I would like to turn it into a day with BBQ etc (for all the family) mobile workshop etc Watch this space
Sandringham is always an alternative as parking is free, loads of space to have a get together / bbq's?
I would be interested if relative newbies are welcome. I could do with something social in my life right now.
[quote=70fan;514497]I would be interested if relative newbies are welcome. I could do with something social in my life right now.[/quote] Everyone is welcome!
[quote=70fan;514497]I would be interested if relative newbies are welcome. I could do with something social in my life right now.[/quote] As Pete says Everyone welcome !!!
Right !! I have been thinking and would like to turn the day into a Family day/ Social meet.. I have managed to secure the local playing field with large car park, and inside of the hall (if it rains) I will put on an all day BBQ and will supply the grub (FREE) , just ask that peeps bring there own drinks. I will put on games for the kids and the adults if they so wish.. I will also have on standby a fully equipped mobile workshop for any minor repairs servicing ETC. Everyone will be most welcome, More the merrier !!:wave23d:
Hi all count me in, should be able to make the 15th .... Cheers Ploppy
Got a good list going here... WHITE999-T5 T5RPete 850-shane BLACKDOG andyb1375 70fan Ploppy

The Location will be Ashill Community centre.IP25 7AX. The postcode is a Thetford Code, but it is near Swaffham.
Andy, that is great news to hear that a good venue has been secured. Thats very generous of you to lay on the grub. Is there anything could bring ref food to assist, ie: some bangers or burgers? What would be a good start time as dont wanna be there too early, or too late.

Just on the Food front if you could all let me know numbers so I can get enough in !!
There wil be two of us for the day, thanks.
Hi Andy, thats very kind of you,,, put us down for 2 please ... Thanks Ploppy !!
Just a reminder that everyone one is welcome to the Norfolk meet. It will be held at the Ashill Community centre. I have also secured the hall incase it rains. I will be laying on a free BBQ and there will be fun and games for the kids, so please bring them along (but only if you have them! ) Start time about 10.30 onwards. I will have a workshop on site if anyone needs any adjustments or repairs Please don't be shy, more the merrier !!

My shifts keep changing, so now i'm on nights Sunday night, but i'll still be there!! Looking forward to it! I know you've given us the postcode, but as i'm completely useless with directions, would it be possible for you to give us a link to the place on Google maps? Cheers Andy.

Hope that you guys are big eaters, as I have been to the local butchers and ordered 40 Burgers and 40 bangers...
Well, just incase anyone is tempted !![ATTACH=CONFIG]15930[/ATTACH]
Wow! I'll make sure i've got some sauces with me!
Oh Blimey... I am going to have to have a word see if I can manage a few hours off! Cant promise anything though.
I think I may have gone slightly over the top..
YUM YUM! Will get some cheese slices for the burgers then. Very kind of you Andy, thanks. See you all tomorrow.
Well I think I can speak for everyone when I say that todays meet was VERY successful!
A huge thanks for the BBQ, it was very tasty!
A few photos, there'll be more tomorrow when I've looked through the hundred or so I took!

Excellent day, really good to meet a few new faces too.
Many thanks though to Andy his wife and Kids for organising and being such friendly hosts.
Job of the day had to be five cars that all needed brake fluid changes and the irony was out of all those tested despite me thinking mine was shot it was the only one to pass the brake fluid test!
A few pics including a rather unusual encounter en-route!

Looks like VPC has been spreading its wings... BBQ's in two locations on the same day... Amazing! Looks like the weather was kind to you too..
