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.

Post 507131 by The Flying Moose on 2012-06-04 12:23:08

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 ?

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.

Post 509059 by t5steve on 2012-06-07 22:23:36

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

Where you thinking about meeting? Might be able to get a pass for that day

Post 511373 by andyb1375 on 2012-06-13 07:38:39

Was going to organise the meet around the members, cos i am happy with anywhere. My first thoughts were maybe Hunstanton ?

Post 511644 by Blackdog on 2012-06-13 19:44:02

Sunny Hunny sounds good to me

Post 513524 by BlackBeast on 2012-06-17 12:04:25

Couldn't make it further north if you lot tried! lol

Post 513709 by The Flying Moose on 2012-06-17 20:07:37

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.

Post 513778 by andyb1375 on 2012-06-17 21:50:19

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

Post 514160 by WHITE999-T5 on 2012-06-18 21:21:14

Sandringham is always an alternative as parking is free, loads of space to have a get together / bbq's?

Post 514497 by 70fan on 2012-06-19 22:10:57

I would be interested if relative newbies are welcome. I could do with something social in my life right now.

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:

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.

Post 517729 by andyb1375 on 2012-06-27 19:16:09

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 !!

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! Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Image

Post 524243 by JUDGENINJA on 2012-07-15 19:26:17
