Ok post where you are and what date would suit, and we'll chat about it!

7/10, 28/10 or a sat in November?

Here we go . Im really sorry but Sats don't suit me as I work Sats and have a random week day of as well as Sundays. So Sundays suit me best. However if Sats suit most people then I'll just take it as a days holidays .

I'd drive as far as Dublin. If more people come from one particular area we could help accomodate them, so say I get a load rounded up from up north we could lean towards a more northerly location .

As for what to do I'd suggest maybe a RR meet, which I suppose would lean towards a Saturday, doh! Or meet up for a chat at a nice scenic location for a mini photoshoot then of to a restaraunt for a meal, or a game of bowling or something.

Dont know if any of you guys let the other half on this forum, but are they included?

I can do Saturdays or Sundays!

I'd agree with Ally, it'll have to be a Sunday, ok that narrows it down a bit

Maybe a Sunday in November? My car should be a different beast by then

Good idea regarding the rolling road

Dublin based, Sat or Sun fine by me, can travel to non Dublin venue.

I would try to do either Saturdays or Sundays as would love to meet up with other coupe owners. Available after mid September.

Im up for a saturday or sunday (a non F1 sunday)

Good good, starting to a few rounded up . However still not at a very fast rate. If you know anymore Irish owners send out a few PM's. The spotting threads are generally good for finding other people .

I'd be keen also but anywhere except Dublin......Sat/Sun dosen't matter.

How about Sunday, October 29th? I would suggest somewhere north(ish) - maybe Monaghan? Most of the owners seem to be in the top half of the country?

If we can get a date organised and agreed first then we can look for a location .

I'll go with the October 29th date. Its just under 2months away so plenty of time to get arranged with work, family or what ever .

Sat or Sun would suit me too but I'd be in favour of close to mid country / Dublin as I'm in Waterford !

There is a great RR in Waterford City and I can arrange accommodation in Tramore. Did this a few years ago with a crowd of guys from the Irish Ford RS club. We had a mini impromptu car show on the prom when we lined up all the cars and popped the hoods !

Sounds like the discussion we had some time back about attending the Alfa meet,but somewhere roughly central would be ideal for me.29th Oct is fine.

I only hope this dicussion doesn't turn into the Alfa one as did anything ever happen with it? Anyway I can only hope we get anything like the attendance at the NIIMC meet with over 12 Coupes in attandance at various points during the day .

Brings me nicely onto another subject. The NIIMC or Northern Ireland Italian Motor Club of which me BigIan and others on here are members. Its a club that I'm sure is too far away for most of you southern guys to travel to but just wanted to mention it.

Get over to NIIMC.net and read up on all the club events which we have attended. Very worth while to click on the "Panda to America" section to see all the pics from Jim taking Club Mascot Silvia a £100 Fiat Panda on a Coast to Coast trip across America. He did Africa last year but thats another story . Also post on the forum that I sent you, Stuart the club secetary is giving me a hard time for being involved in organising something outside of NIIMC .

Anyway back to matters in hand. If we agree on the date then location next. I'm asking around at the minute, but think somewhere fairly central would be fairest to everyone.

Agreeded, somewhere fairly centralish, There maybe a lad from Portugal, who has a Coupe in Galway who might come up, and me from Mayo

So are we agreed on Sunday, October 29th?

That sounds ok to me, anyone else?

.OK the date is agreed (I hope ). All we need now is a location and something to do. You guys down south would know better of somewhere suitable than me. The place that was mentioned before for the Alfa meet sounded central, Athlone was it? Is there anywhere else that has a good road network to it? We would need somewhere in the town to meet if anyone knows it? A nice sceneic spot for some pics and maybe somewhere for a bite to eat?

Questions all needing answered soon

Athlone is about as central as you can get: see here !

I think there might be a castle or two and maybe a forest there? Maybe someone more local could suggest something suitably scenic!

I'll pop over next week and look around, if there isn't anyone more local to Athlone?
That alfa meet was going to be in the Hudson Bay hotel.
There is a decent sized car park there, and it's outside of Athlone.

Sunday 29th is the bank holiday weekend, could be a good date. Have been to a few events in the Hodson Bay Hotel, Athlone Here , easy to find, good facilities, and large carpark.

I can see this goin on and on and on and on and on........................

Forget about the traffic David. A bank holiday weekend is good. Absolutely no excuse for people not going as they are of work on the Monday ! Always think of the positives .

That Hotel looks really good. Nice and scenic really good for a mini photoshoot. Looks like they do good food as well.

How about 29th Oct for the date Hudson bay Hotel for the location and about 1pm for the time. I could see most people traveling there in the most 2-3hours, not too bad. Not to early to get up but have breakfast. Leave about 9.30 - 10am. Drive down. Meet up have our photoshoot and a chat/ get to know you session at 1pm. In for something to eat about 2pm. Finish meal at 3.30ish. Then out for a run to another location 4 to 4.30ish(Remembering to keep speeds and overtaking manouvers to a minimum ) and more photos/say farewell session 5-6ish. leave for home 7ish.

Any other suggestions for what to do on the day?

Like Hannibal from the A-Team used to say "I love it when a plan comes together" .

Good proposal Allystew - count me in!

OK if the proposed date, time, location and everything meets with everyones approval then we are a go.

If possible could someone from down south phone the hotel and give them prior warning of what we're planning. Other than that its time to get a list drawn together, so we can book the lunch. Please post here or PM me, Davidub or darmtb.

The list of people definatly (no backing out ) attending:

1. Allystew + 1
2. Davidub
3. Jamesy
4. BigIan
5. yellow_coop
6. Gerryh
7. CollieD ?
8. Skodaman
9. LE MAN ?
10. darmtb

Count me in! 29th Oct suits well BECAUSE it's a bank holiday weekend!! The chosen venue looks great....
