South east, monthly meet?

Right guys im thinking that maybe we should see what interest and numbers we could be looking at for a regular monthly meet!? the exact location and date times is yet to be sorted but i want to know if it will be of any interest to us lot down south east and who ever may want to join is welcome.

It will be in the most convenient place for the majority of course as it will be a regular thing, something a bit like the "Ace Cafe" meet which is a little to far for us to always be able to attend.

Its only an idea but if we get sufficent interest and depending on locations il come up with ideas of a few places and we can give it a go.

One in favour here.

well done pete, getting the ball rolling im liking it.

The south meets are tricky to organise as everyone is so busy, the only thing that evers seems to work is just state the place and the time of the meet and then people turn up or don't.

If you open it up to times and place queries, you get someone saying do it on saturday morning, someone saying do it on sunday, someone saying they can come after 2pm, someone saying they can do before 11am, someone saying they like cheese, someone saying Surrey is good, soeone saying Kent is better, someone saying I will try and make it, and somone saying wibble wobble wabble, etc, etc...

I have found, and I have done a few, its easier just to say July 17th, 11am onwards at such and such place - job done

yeah i fully understand jimo but im thinking of an evening in the week thing as it stays light soo late now. well for over summer period anyhow.

i'd be up for it

(if its even my area )

would b up for it but would be better if it was more central south i know there are 70 fiat coupe owners in bournemouth n poole alone but never realy anything down this way happening

Another one here for a SE regular meet

And the reason why the northern meets are so successful is that they've only got to make a brief appearance on Jeremy Kyle then they're free for the rest of the day.

I'd be up for a regular meet, might be able to make a few then.

@ bouncer, Thats good to know and the location will be as central as possible for everyone to not have too much trouble getting too.

Only cos you wanna show off

In what? My clio 1.2 16v with 75bhp? Yeah, real showing off me

I'd be up for it as long as I can still come without a coupe!

Ditto

just to let ya know iam holding a meet in bournemouth on the 28 th there will b a 100 quid prize for the best looking coupe

Sounds good luke, definatly up for a regular meet.

The last Essex meet fell flat on its face unfortunetly.

well im thinking of maybe the third week every month or something on say for instance every wednesday evening at such & such around the 20th of the month.

Say we was to start this month it would be like wed 24th june (this month) wed 22nd july and so on.

im thinking of a wednesday night as its midweek. i personally dont do anything on a wednesday night normally (only when footy is on champions league etc) but it may not be ok for everyone or it might be one month not the next.

im putting the feelers out to get your feedback on if its of interest thats all.


Looking good tho.

Whereabouts are you thinking Luke?

i'm up for a se meet too!

There are qute a few general car and motorsport meets over the summer, including:
Ace
Silverstone Classic
Goodwood Breakfasts
Festival of Speed
etc.

Why not try to get a few coupes along to these?

thats also something that im looking into etc

Vicster, i dont know exactly yet but gonna put some ideas out over next couple days. as obviously would have to ring the places to make sure its no probelm if permission is needed.

Yeah I'd be up for an occasional meet. If its a decent sized meet, somewhere within 50 miles of Oxford.

You thinking of going for drives, or just sitting in pubs or something? Plenty of time for sitting in the pub when I get old!

sorry guys been away surfing for the weekend so aint been able to get on here.

Right anyone who will actually be able to make a monthly meet and would be looking at coming every month give or take missing odd meet etc can we make a list please but do as ive done and put your full post code after your name.

full or near full is fine

I'm opposite site of M25 (SE London) to most of postcodes so weekday depends more on proximity than weekends.

count me in

i'm in north london but will try and make as many meets as i can - n20 postcode

Me to, just don't do it on every second thursday of the month!

how would bracknell/woodly/maidenhead areas sound? just out those 6 postcodes in and trying to pick central as possible place. works out bit further for kj & chris tho quite hard to find somewhere centrally for everyone obviously.

input and thoughts would be good. dont all bombard me with i think here etc etc etc

Works fine for me.

put me down bh88bz

sounds fine to me too Luke

I'm up for monthly south east meets. I do shift work but will attend as many as i can.

BullyBoy CT14 7NG

i would be there without fail mate.

yeh, im in the same position as bullyboy with my shift work so ill be there often as i can luke.

terry TN29

good response guys im looking into an ideal place now for us will keep you posted

I might be up for it.

I ran some SE monthly meets for a bit a long time ago. Then we met somewhere and had a meal (or drove from one place to get a meal).

Do we have a venue or date yet guys?
PS: Anyone going to Gaydon supercar meet this sunday? Could meet on A40, Denham or Oxford if on your way. PM me if so. Cheers, Mark

Know of any decent places then john?

then we can work on a date.

JohnS arranged a few meets near Windsor, so that might work, could even try some weekday evening meets whilst it's still light, and then I don't have to worry about the kids or the missus coming along

il tell you what how about my works car park in high wycombe?
i can us it if i want and as long as we don't kick up to much of a fussy in the naibough hood to get the police invited then my boss was quite happy with this.

johns i know its checky but any chance of a ride in your car?

Anyone fancy High Wycombe??

anyone come up with any places yet?

i'm in but HW is too far for me.

Interested depending on location.

yeh me to, i live near dover

Just go to a place that is a possible, hunt out a car park where we can meet and then somewhere we can eat (or can be the same place). For instance, when we met at Windsor we met in a harvestor car park, all had a [soft] drink and then drove into Windsor in a cruise style and went for a meal.

We did a similar thing when we met at Maranello Ferrari - I got their permission for us to meet outside their showroom, then we drove to a curry house in Virginia water

Guess I should since I am SL6

sounds like a plan john. i would say maybe do the same. either meet at Maranello Ferrari or maybe toby carvey in old windsor or something like that?

Windsor is about 1hr 45 mins - 2hrs away from me, thats fine

guys this thread and come to a halt as ive moved recently and havent been able to get online much only on my iphone which is annoying to use as its too small so my apologiesto everyone for being abit slack,

right if someone want s to sort out a destination thats ok to use etc etc, im more than happy to go with it if t suits the majority.

put me down

I'd be interested, if you'll welcome an Alfa

humm. half way house where we had the essex meet, its just off the m25 j 28?

Count me in if its still going ahead...

Could maybe follow you from High Wycombe, Peanuthead (although you might have to wait for me, cant afford a turbo yet...!)

i live in maidenhad sammy but still willing to meet and go together mate.
i work in wycombe.
when and where is this going to happen then chaps?

I live in Wycombe, but don't work there! There are lots of nice places round this area which should allow for a nice drive along the way.

Ok. Well if it does still go ahead maybe a small group could convoy from Wyc/surrounding area (including Maidenhead)

sounds good to me :-)

I'm up for a meet.count me in.

I'll do it if there's a convoy this time...

I will do my best to join in!
RG42

Hmm just saw this thread sounds like a laugh. Will come if im not working!

guys i am still working on this dont worry will sort location in next couple days then will pick date.

Me plus +3 other coupes. AL10, pending location & date

Count me in for the next one I'll be coming from Colchester if there's a convoy in the works? (I'll be driving a12/m25 way)

cool. i will be there just hope i am not on holiday at all.
fancy giving me another spin in the coop luke in the dry as i would like to see what your handling and power are like but it was a bit wet last time

I'd defintly be up for this including another 2 coupes at least. Lloyd SS165DX

right to even it out for most people coming from every angle of the board

im thinking around bagshot? im just trying to find decent sized place to meet where we will have space away from any other cars etc.

and im thinking sunday 20th september???

Any good?

Bagshot is easy for me to get to. Will chat to Becky as she know's the area reasonably well. Could always end up at the hungry horse pub or something

That's what I'm thinking along the lines of begbie

Bagshot is fine for me, all of 15 miles away!

How about the Cricketers right on the A30 so simple to find and with a reasonable size car park.

Pete

sounds good to me pete will have to check they have adequate space and dont mind us being there providing most/some of us eat there too

im interested depending on date

The suggestion is Sunday 20th September, see Luke's post earlier today.

Bagshot sounds good. A Sunday morning always worked well. Lets get it booked? Dates?

SUNDAY 20th September, The cricketers BAGSHOT

New Thread opened for Bagshot meet 20th September.

Blimey I could walk there (knowing my luck, I probably will be)
