Having been accused of not being friendly enough Mr L and I would like to meet some other coop owners.
To that end we would like to organise a Derbyshire mid week mini meet.

Plan is meeting at The Peacock at Oakerthorpe early eveningish for a bit of tyre kicking and a quick drink (The Peacock has a large car park and beer garden and just happens to be right across from our house!!) then a nice drive through the Derbyshire countryside up to Monsal Head which is a really nice Derbyshire beauty spot where there also happens to be 2 very nice pubs where we can get a bite to eat.

What does everyone think? We planned to do it mid week as the roads and pubs will be a lot less busy.
So . . . .

1) Mrs_Lickyl and Mr LickyL

Oh i see!!.....................
We start at your house!
No, how about a meet at the beautiful area of South Normanton!!!
Oh yeh now i see what you mean!
Peacock it is then.. im up for that ;-)

1) Mrs_Lickyl and Mr LickyL
2) MattCoupe and missus

damm and blast your eyes!! i'm away that week and would have been 100% for this...lovely area, some of the best scenery in the land imo....

Well done Mrs L. I would love to come to this. These ar ethe best type of coop meets and they've been a bit thin on the ground this year

Monday would be a good day for me (hardly mid week I know - though Thursdays the new Friday so..... )However, whatever day you choose I'll try my damdest to get there

1) Mrs_Lickyl and Mr LickyL
2) MattCoupe and missus
3) c2d and missus

Aargh! were away that week up in the Yorkshire Dales (with the coupe)- sounds a nice trip though, otherwise we would have pitched up!

I can make it ...

4) Simon Coupe alone (my wife hates this sort of thing!)

YAY! This sounds like it'll be nice. 1st July is a Wednesday - is this ok with everyone. We definitely don't want to do Thursday as the Peacock is a well known boy racer / cruise venue on a Thursday night and the sight of all those corsas / vectras / saxos will put me off my pint!

I'm excited about meeting everyone.


Also - to people who can't make it this time - we could make it a regular thing in the future?

i'd certainly be a reasonably regular attender and pop into the matlock bath balti on the way back to burton, mmmm

1) Mrs_Lickyl and Mr LickyL
2) MattCoupe and missus
3) c2d and missus
4) SimonCoupe
5) Our friend Tim in his integrale

Looking at Mr L's work schedule - Mon, Tues, Weds that week are all fine so specify your favourite day.

me too - just not that week

Bad news - I won't be able to make it. I've been waiting for a date for surgery and it just came through for next Monday. So, I'll still be in recovery.

Mr L and our friend Tim in the integrale are still very much up for this so it is definitely still on. I'll definitely be at the next one!!

lol it's always the same! I can't do 1st July as my daughters booked a restraunt as my Fathers Day treat (she was working on Fathers day!)

If anyone still wants to come to this - Mr L and his mate Tim will still be going (I had surgery on Monday so am still recuperating). You can meet Mr L in the Peacock car park about 6pm ish and then meet Tim en route. If you can't make it this week but are still interested in a Derbyshire run then let us know and we can organise one for another time.

Well i got home from work at 6!! and just spent the best part of an hour cleaning me coupe... so even though i missed this im still going out for a drive!
Shame there wasnt much interest in this we seem to be in the minority in Derbys!

Don't worry Matt - we're planning another one for in about 4 weeks time when I'm back on my feet.

Well I had a lovely meal in a Bistro in liverpool Will try and make the next one

So - my diary of events yesterday.

1. left work early at 4.30.
2. Got a bite to eat and left Macclesfield around 5.15.
3. Arrived at The Peacock at just after 6.15. No coupes!
4. Hung around until about 6.45 and decided I must have missed them, so drove back to Monsal.
5. Hung around to 7.45ish and quit.
6. Spend rest of the evening in my local pub, where I bumped into one of the other coupe owners in the village!

Simon that sucks must have missed you by less than 3 mins at the peackock.

Heres my diary of events yesterday.
1. Got home at 6 and washed Coupe
2. Got showered up and missus got ready
3. Drove to peacock at about 8. No Coupes
4. No Car at Lickyls so knew they were out.
5. Drove to Matlock had the most expensive worst Fish and chips ever!!
6. Drove round some random roads including Stanton in peak and Bonsall
7. Got tired and went home!

It was ok actually! sort of a mission to track down the infamous "Red Coupe of lickyl". I didnt succeed..... The mission continues...........

Right I'm really angry with Mr L now. He did wait at the Peacock but plainly he didn't wait long enough. However, I did put that Mr L would be at the Peacock at 6 and nobody really replied to say they were definitely coming?

god no!! i didnt mean anything!!
I couldnt have got any earlier anyway!!

It's not a problem - the drive down was quite fun (Cat and Fiddle, down to Newhaven and across), and obviously a pleasant pint in the Monsal, some nice views and pleasant sunshine. A fairly rapid drive back to Happy Valley, followed by half a dozen pints in the local.

My wife seems to imply that I rather too good an evening, as it happens :-)

There's the Hope Valley Lions classic car show in July sometime, but may be too late to organise anything tho'.....

Hope Valley car show is 12th July http://www.sheffieldtelegraph.co.uk/news2/Classic-cars-to-roar-in.5368220.jp which unfortunately is a little too soon for me to get into a car (especially since I need help getting up out of a chair!)

We definitely need to reorganise a Derbyshire meet properly next month?

I'd find it hard to get to any midweek meets, due to my working hours, but if it's any help and I know it's not until next year, but if anyones interested, I was going to arrange a Club stand at The Chatsworth Rally Show 2010.

I was too late for this years show, but it would be great to get some Coupes together for Chatsworth next year.

Keep your eye out for a thread about this around October/November this year

I'm interestedin these too - the 1st July just didn't work for me, but that doesn't mean future ones wont. Its about 60 miles for me, so I need a fairly clear day work-wise for it to work.

Chatsworth would be great, Theresa.

Ok lets get this gig rolling - lets pick a date, though the muster time needs to be nearer 7.00PM...

Anytime from the 27th onwards, looks like the weather will be picking up by then.

It looks dated already to me. The interior is also plasticy and I wish the shark gils were more than just sculpts.
The car now seems to drift from side instead of steering like a normal car

ok, random to say the least........

anyone fancy bringing this meet back to life, any one interested post up here, or start a new post, upto you.

( new dates of course)

Might be interested. If it can be as close to the Cheshire border as possible, I'm a tad lazy you see

You'd be better off starting a new thread guys. As soon as people see this one was originally started by me no one would want to come.

fair do's, may i ask why that is?

She's lyin'

Lets get it going again hey! My coops still SORNed but hopefully will be on the road again in April.


Have just re read this whole thread and have to agree... that was a pretty random post by Michael Jackson

right then, any takers put ya name down, and any date's suggestions aswell ?

i'll wait for a new thread.......

right i have started a new thread, does this one need to be removed?

If so would the mods please do this, thanks

Locked.
