Had a quick scan through & looks a little on the quiet side in this neck of the woods...

Is there anything going on down this way, do you have to be a member to attend any of the meets?

Thanks in advance

You most certainly don't have to be a member to attend a meet \:\)

Its been ages since a SW meet took place - Cheddar Gorge/Bath was the last one I remember, that must have been a few years ago.

I'll have a think of some decent roads.

I'm local to Plymouth, so anything going on around there would be good, but it's quite difficult to organise a meet as the SW is such a vast area!

What about Cheddar in Jan, it seems quite central in the S/W...

Any other suggestions for a meet?

some nice roads around cheddar, its fairly local so if you were stuck for ideas around that area let me know. i'd most likely come to anywhere in the south west, i really should have gone to the newport meet a while ago as well

OK, so enough interest then.

Would a Mod kindly adjust the Thread Title to Cheddar Gorge Meet in January please.

Thanks,

just need to set a date, say 31st?

I'd be interested .... It's true the last Cheddar meet must be at least two years ago, probably more.

Seem to remember a bit of an escapade with a pheasant and a close following motorcyclist on one high speed stretch. Think his trousers changed colour soon after, from black to br.....

I'll keep watching this thread and would love to come down, though Sundays are better for me than Saturdays.

Maybe we could get Flea's monster Coupé along?

I remember the pheasant, and how close the biker got to Jonny's Coupe in trying to avoid it...

Yes this sounds like a nice idea, I believe it was me who organised the last one all those years ago \:D How about I bring my kit along and for the price of a beer (or equivalent nourishment) I'll give all concerned a fueling check and bit of advice ;\)
