Hi all,

I am proposing organizing a big meet here in Mid-wales to take in the splendor that is the Elan Valley (http://www.elanvalley.org.uk/home/)

There has been a coop meet here a few years ago before I was an owner. I am proposing that anyone in Wales (as its central) and the midlands and border counties consider making the journey, but is of course open to all!

I was part of a fantastic Mazda 323f meet up there a few years ago (my brother owned one), with a visitor all the way from north Scotland! Here is a link to their forum with the phots/vids and feedback of the day. http://www.club323f.com/club323f/forum/v...c&start=330

I have worked out a great route and plans for breakfast, meeting places, car cleaning facilities etc.

It's all an idea so far but if the interest is there I will press ahead and make firm arrangements.

An idea of dates would be maybe in October to whisk away the autumnal blues.....

I also thought that maybe we could make it an annual event and can get t-shirts/hoodies done at a very good price (something along the lines of 'FCCUK Meet Elan Valley 2009' with fccuk logo and some sort of representation of the place itself, hoodies would be £20 approx) if deemed a success. I just think creating our own owners event that gathers together many owners from across the UK would be really great. I know it can be done because it has been done!

The photo opportunities and scenery will blow you away, as will the roads getting there and around the reservoirs themselves.

Please also visit this Pistonheads thread if you still need convincing that you HAVE to go there!

Please spread the word and let me know your thoughts, I'd really love to get this going.......

In hope,

Dave

Mmm could be doable for me as long as it doesn't clash with the next North West rolling road day.
Good one Dave

Im in

im in

im in sounds good, just hope we get the interest and more than 5 coupe make the show.

I'm in

I'd be interested in this too, depending on the date

Shouldn't imagine it would be too bad, driving from North to Mid Wales

Well, put my name down

Ben

As above, intrested in a meet somtime in october

A bit short notice though,

but anyone intrested in a drive up there this coming sunday as i,ve got nothing on and the weather seems good.

Ben

Sounds great. Would consider staying nearby night before if travelling from afar.

I would want to go to that myself actually, when is it proposed?

I'm watching some rallying on Epynt on sunday but depending on when you aim to be there i could meet you, let me know.

Dave

Agreed, I'm pretty pleased with the numbers interested so far in one evening, it would be good if we could really drum up some more interest. If Oct is too early then November? Cold mind!

What do people think of the hoodie/tshirt idea?

My thinking was to maybe have a road map of elan valley in the same vein as the nurburgring logo

Or am I being a bit overambitious?

Dave

Can easily point you in the direction of good accommodation.....

November would probably be better for me.
there is no date set for the rolling road yet
lol i think hoodies would be a good idea for november!!

Well Rally GB is Oct 22-25 so coul dget busier round mid-wales over that period, late oct/early nov?

sounds good to me!

may well be interested in this...

im interested deoending in if the coop is on the road and the date

I'm up for this dependant on date

Not been down Elan Valley since i lived down by Merthyr !!!

Trev

I'm going to press ahead and make arrangements me thinks, so far I reckon we could have 10 coops but my overall aim is 20.

Is it worth setting a poll for a proposed date?

might be a good idea Dave

may be intrested in this ,

If dates don't clash with anything I'd be up for it.
