On the back of the good South meet we had a month or so ago I've been asked to assist with organising the main FCCUK summer meet in the South East of England this year. Although I didn't make it to this event last year, by all accounts it was a very good one

So, to make a start I'm going to suggest 3 approximate locations and a date. If a few more suggestions arise, we can make a poll and then choose a winner

LOCATIONS

South East is a pretty all encompassing term so choosing locations is quite tricky. It has to be accessible from London so somewhere around the M25 circumference would probably be best. I am fairly confident that there would be a good turnout from the Oxford direction and from the M3 corridor so I've proposed a couple of locations slightly to the west of centre and one further east.

Somewhere near Egham

Somewhere near Leatherhead

Somewhere near The Grasshopper Inn (same location as in 2007)

DATE

How about the 19th or 20th July, that gives us 2 months to organise it.

Opinions please

Count me in. Any venue any date (sunday would be better though).

Hello im new to the forum and soon to be a member of the FCCUK so i would definatly like to come to with my girlfriend to meet everybody.

Interested muchly! Be good to give the coupe a good motorway run. Best get time booked off work

First two look better locations for me; driving distance is still painful... but provisionally, I'm in.

I can't really think of many places in the first two locations that would be any good at accomodating alot of us.

The grasshopper was good last year, has a huge car park, we even shared it with a Lexus meet and they had no problems with accomadating all of us.

Also, if you use the Grasshopper again, Suba will know where it is and be able to get there on time this year!

Grasshopper was good, the roast was tasty as well.

Sadly though, 19/20 July is out for me.

Also the 20th an F1 weekend can you not have a weekend where it misses the F1, please

Grasshopper does a nice roast too! I'm in! Mr C

I'd go for the Grasshopper.

Grasshopper for me too

I'm up for this! Don't know the venues, so I'll go with the majority.

Well done for “volunteering” Webbo!

Unfortunately I can’t make the 19th or 20th as I will be in sunny Spain. Look forward to the photos though

Ill be there, Fact.

Either options good for me providing im not somewhere stupid with work

Grasshopper was a good last time

Nice big car park, great food and not too far for some of the east Anglian crew to venture

I would have to try a do a better Video though

Ok the Grasshopper Inn is looking like a strong favourite but I'm going to throw in another option further west:

As you can see it has a massive carpark and I hear the food is good too.

The 20th seems difficult for a few people so what about the 27th July?

27th is good for me.

Personally I reckon the Grasshopper will get the biggest potential turnout given the proximity to London and Essex.

Gotta say I agree with SJ here, and the Grasshopper is tried and tested!

Grasshopper will pull in Essex, Kent and Anglian guys better.

27th fine by me.

27th July is TOTB so i won't be there

Can't do 20th as i'm riding the dunwich dynamo the night before...

120 miles, hackney to the east coast through the night arriving at dunwich for 6am. Fancy it JimO?

27th would actually suit me better aswell - forgot it was my brothers birthday 21st.

I'll be bobbing about in my pool in Le Marche on the 27th, so no good for me.

Saying that, its not as if I've been a regular attendee so don't let me sway you, but I did fancy it this year.

Can i just say that some of the suggestions dont really seem like South east he he he, i live right at the lowest part of the south east, town next to dover, unfortunately sometimes too far away, theres a few coupe owners down this way aswell. Could there be one a little closer next time (like my front door )

Webbo does that help?

Danirv, unfortunately the main SE meet really has to be near to London for maximum turnout but I know what you mean. I'm not even sure if I will turn up if it is at the Grasshopper. Of course it doesn't mean you can't have a meet closer to Dover though

Thanks for the poll JimO it should help

There is nothing to stop you hosting your own LOCAL meet

Just find a venue, or even a driving route, and post it in this section for interest.

"If you build it they will come"

Is that the Shire Horse? If so yes it has a big car Park and Good food BUT the car park is full everytime I pass. Which shows it is poular but maybe a little too poular to get a space

Hi John, yep it's the Shire Horse.
