As with the last few meets, no.3 was successful and a great laugh.

Looking for ideas on what the next one should be like. Back to the original format of meet up go for a drive have something to eat have another drive?

Or more like this one with the staying over and just a small portion is the drive?

What ya think guys?

Ross

I will be up for it this time round

Having been to the last two which were both great, this last one was the one I enjoyed most, it's great to meet up, eat, talk coupes, take pics and videos and go for a drive but it kicked off to another level when the evening started

I'd like the same again or similar.

I'll be back

Are you sure????

Does not compute!!!!!!

You cannot stop him,he will continue until his mission has been accomplished! Judgement Day is coming!!!!!

I didnt mean to make this thread all cliquey, I must do better to hide my true identity. back on topic!!!

LOL!!!!!
Dont' worry we'll get a code reader for the next meet!!!
Anyone got the number for Skynet or Cyberdine Systems??
Guess we'll have to call the next meet the "I'LL BE BACK" meet!!

Or how about.. "Big Coupe Meet 4: Will Stan actually make it this time?!"

Am well up for a Sept/Oct meet, good call avoiding summer what with holidays and so on.

Im in!!!!
The Machines will rise up against mankind!!!!

Then out come the toolboxes to save the day once again

Title changed

Ross

"Uncle Bob" would be proud Ross!!

Lol!!!

Anyways, back on topic.

Anyone got any ideas? Focused around staying over again or more driving ?

Ross

Staying over again would be good, we'll just have to decide on if it is Whoop/Sportmans again or maybe a change of scenery

im up for it, as will have a set of wheels by sept-oct hopefully

i will try to make this one, was working last weekend
but also on holiday from the 9/22 sept.

Kev

I'd be interested in another weekend meet like we've just had

I'll be up for this one. Come on make it somewhere different this time! I swear i know each stone at the sportsmans carpark by name now..

I`d personaly like a bit more driving? makes for some good pic`s and there are sooo many good road`s/view`s around the lakes.
we could also add some sort of extra entertainment,karting,bowling???

i liked the last format to be honest. its good to get to know the people then to know there reg, to quote some one else there

i by far enjoyed the social side, i can drive any day

what i would suggest is finding a place with more rooms, i dont want a travel lodge or anything.
i would have stopped at whoop hall if i wasn't weighting for checks to clear as i was skit.
there wasn't that option to start off with however. and if i had had a B&B else were i think i would have missed out on the fun just as much

I've posted this link before but The Damson Dene and it's sister hotel look pretty good.

I've not got time to look into it properly now, but the links there if anyone wants to check out prices, parking , location etc.

(I'm off on a SAP training course now )

Suppose we don't have to go the Lake District either. We could venture further north to the Trossachs

Beautiful round there, tho I don't know of any big hotels or whats to do other than drive

Or maybe somewhere else I dunno, some might say 'why change a winning formula'

Anyway i'm off .............. SAP, here we come

Me and Mattw have been chatting about this aswell. I think after 3 meets using the same 2 locations, its probably time to move it to somewhere new.... sometimes its fun to get lost

We were thinking about keswick area?

Ross

The only problem with moving the BCM to another location other than the Lakes is it would possibly spoil the nice mix we have of Scottish,Welsh and English Coopsters .

The Damson Dene looks nice though .

Baz

Well thats why we need some input. Its not that much further north is kendal.

Ronnie was saying the road from kendal to shap was a great road.

Anyone local any thoughts?

Ross

Is there anything on the coast of the lake district by the sea? Everything so far seems to have been focussed on the M6 side...

...unless your name is Samsite999


Anyway, back on subject.. I love the Trossachs and it would be a great place for a meet, but I'm in agreement about trying to keep *roughly* where it is now, for fear of losing the balance of Scottish, Welsh and English fccukers at the meet. I for one would never have been able to do the Trossachs in a day, but the lakes was perfectly okay and so I didn't miss out

Besides which, we only meet like twice a year, don't tell me everyone's bored of the lakes already?! I'm sure there are plenty of other places/pubs/hotels in the vicinity we can meet up without having to revert back to the Sportsman (not that there's anything wrong with the Sportman btw )

I think we should keep it either in the lake district or close around the outside to keep the good mix of people, its easily accessible to everyone. It would be good to try some new places though. How about copying what the southies did and get a dent man to come out, I'm sure there will be plenty of coupe doors that need de-creasing...
