How have you managed that Rob??

Do you need a lift with fixing it?

[steb9780]

Where is the monthly meet going to be?

On week day nights I will only be able to attend every other month, as I work shifts so don't finish until 7pm. I rotate to each end of the week each month.

So any day is fine for me, either way I will be affected (unless it's a Saturday ;) )

[Pixelfill]

Is this Monday enough notice ?

How about the Ribble Pilot in Preston?

The Ribble Pilot sounds like a great choice, never been but it's supposed to be a nice place. Easy to find too.

I won't be able to make it on this occasion though as I am working Sunday, Monday, Tuesday shift this week. If it's going to be the 1st Monday of each month though, I will be on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, next month. So I should be able to get to that one.

I never been but i'm sure i'll find. I'm up for meeting anywhere but i cant make it this month, baby stuff and all that:)

[steb9780]

Just a quick note to say I saw some very nice Japanese cars down there last night cruising about.

I went to the KFC across the roundabout from the Ribby Pilot.

Then we went and parked up at the Dock front near McDonalds.

In total for the three quarters of an hour we were around there, I saw a VERY nice R33 GTR. I was behind a new STi Impreza and a nicely body modified Civic Type R, in the drive thru.

Also saw a nice Evo 8, and a couple of commoners old shaped Subaru's ;)

[philstowell]

id love to be there, not been to one yet but im headin back down to colchester sunday night, back in to work after my crimbo leave, ill try and make the next one?

was the R33 Purple ?

[steb9780]

was the R33 Purple ?

No it was a sort of light gunmetal grey, not quite as dark as gunmetal but darker than silver.

Like an escort cossie grey, was it called moonstone grey or something.

Nice either way.

[M5W TT]

This should be good but its a reall supprise its in Preston :D Can we not venture a bit further afield for the Next one as preston seems like the centre of the Supra world at the min?

[STE D]

Ya i no it's a bit of a trek for you mike,We need to get are heads together and get a place sorted thats more central :)

[bigcol]

i think we should have a curry night:p

[Pixelfill]

For this month, subject to a discussion about a permanent location (or perhaps even a rotation about multiple venues) we are suggesting a meet at the Ribble Pilot on Preston Docks. I appreciate it may be a little far for some of you to travel, but this is fairly central to the North West catchment area.


Given that for the last 3 months I've been asking for suggestions and no-one has provided any suitable venues, it was looking like this was going to die a death. I said in my PM that this was up for discussion, and this was for this month. I've also mentioned in the past that much further south rules out people like Charlie (who has indicated that he's planning on coming to this.) Turn up on Monday and we'll have a healthy debate about it. Get your thinking hats on ! Further afield - how about Lancaster or Carlisle ?

Mike

[steb9780]

The Ribble Pilot suits me as it's local, but don't mind travelling a bit further.

Would it not be best to either get a concensus of where everyone is from then pick somewhere that is closest to the larger amount of people. Lets' say if Blackpool has the most amount of owners then lets have it there or thereabouts.

OR

could we not have the meet in one Town/city for maybe 3-6 months then move to another venue. Say Preston for 3-6, then move to maybe Lancaster,Warrington,Bolton etc.

What a very sensible idea ;) :taped:


Mike

[rob wild]

I don't really no what all the fuss is about it being local etc I mean i've traveled down to mascrat for years which is a good 30-35 miles or so. TBH It was always a really good opportunity to give the car a damm good trashing! :cool: :D especially in the summer in fact when i first put my single on i use to come off 2 junctions early and go the very very long way just for the drive :search:

As Mike has been saying for months picking a local venue for all of us is impossible and Preston is fairly central to the NW but again if it was south Manchester area i wouldn't be bothered.

[paul mac]

i have to admit i am a bit of a pussy when it comes to meets in the middle of winter so probably wouldn't attend anyway, Preston area does seem like a good compromise, its a damm site nearer than Mascrat for me and it is pretty central to the north west

Mike

I recall a thread that Matt started where we were discussing locations and there was lots of sugestions of venues.

Im not particularly bothered about the distance or the fact that its the M6 (poss the most boring road ever, next to the A1M) everytime. Was just stating a fact that whenever the NW get together its around preston and not giving the members in the far north or far south of our catchment area a chance to get to meetings should they wish.

And Carlisle - Why not? If there are members in that area expressing a wish to meet up with the North West Group then we should be able to hold a meeting more north to facilitate that. Therefore meeting half way rather than them travelling down to preston each month.

At then end of the day we are never going to please everyone.

[wez_p]

apologies if it's really obvious somewhere but i've been through the thread three times now & still can't figure out what time we are meeting?!

[rob wild]

Is it the pub near halfords?

[n00b]

been washing/hovering/polishing my car today.... and now just looking outside at the rain (so car should be fairly shat up for meeting tomorrow, great!).... sods law. really looking forward to tomorrow. preston has my vote warrington is so far for me at the moment (and i think that goes for most the guys from up this way). but moving it around every couple of months sounds good maybe, warrington/preston/lancaster or kendal would that make it south, middle and north?

Mike could you post a postcode or google map link of where we are going tomorrow night?
