Branners 18 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 morning all, This year was supposed to be a big celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the club! It was founded on 11th April 2001 after a group of us met up at Santa Pod to discuss breaking away from supras.co.uk! For the 10th Anniversary we did a huge number of amazing events. We even brought Dragonball back and drove to Lille in France, we hired Santa Pod, we went karting and the list goes on! Here is a video done by Scott to show what we did the plan was to do the same this year but that was all wrecked due to somebody eating bat a l'orange and wiping out 12 months from our lives! What memories does everybody have from the last 20 years, what was the biggest highlight? And dont forget, its the 21st Anniversary of the club next year so we can celebrate that instead! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

markssupra 11 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Great video and good memories, missing these big meets. Great times! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Faye 14 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Some of the brilliant London runs which Sham used to cajole me into attending. Oh and a small one, I found my best friend and husband through the club too. 17 years going strong Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Branners 18 Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 Hi Faye, I had forgotten about the Sham runs through London. Shame we cant do that any more as the Supras have to pay ULEZ charges just to get in to London! Great to hear its all going well with Keith! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have to say it is very enjoyable - so smooth to drive, but with the obvious EV immediacy when needed - i'm an old fart now, so need the more comfortable things in life Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bobbeh 5 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) Happy birthday to the club, its been a very fun ride and here's to many more years! These are my earliest club pictures, taken in 2001 in a cold and dreary Stevenage at my first club meet, prior to me being a member, I was an imposter then in a Gen 7 Celica Syed Shah's UKTT6 inspired me to get one myself, and also where I had my first brush with a Veilside wing in person! Have many many others from Supra.net events throughout the early years! Edited Thursday at 03:46 PM by Bobbeh (see edit history) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Faye 14 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) I think this one was from 2004 or 05. Was one of the South Coast runs which I'm reasonably sure Mawby organised, we had a nice stop off at Beachy Head Edited April 8 by Faye (see edit history) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At the moment I'm holding off organising anything until I see what the government do next. the plan is to do a Wales Dragonball at the end of September, starting in Shrewsbury, going down through to Elan Valley, across the Brecons via the Top Gear road and then staying in either the Celtic Manor (if they are doing cheap rooms) or drive to the Holiday Inn just outside Bristol for a bit of an evening party. We may also put in a trip to Whifbitz in the plan if I can work it all out. But I dont want to organise anything yet until I know we are allowed to travel and meet up!

Maybe worth speaking to Jake ( Ripped_fear ) as he ran an event through Wales and has some routes and research he might be willing to share Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will certainly have a chat with him. We ran a thing called DragonCol back in 2013 I think it was which was in memory or CJ who passed away with cancer so I have those routes saved up already but will tweak them as its been 10 years of learning about how best to route things. Would be great to see everybody on DB this year. For the 21st Anniversary we are going back to Brussels and Spa for the real Dragonball as that was the one we all remember the most.
