Not sure if their is an appetite on FCCUK for local meets any more? These used to be really popular, and regularly attracted a good turnout.

Format used to follow.

1. Select a local pub.
2. Meet up, chat and enjoy a spot of lunch.
3. Take a bit of a drive, nothing too spirited, more a Coupé convoy through the villages.
4. Park up somewhere different and take some pictures.

So, If I were to propose re-starting the Cambridge / Essex / Suffolk meets would anyone be interested?

yes, but a bit of a drive for me.... would prefer something like this closer if there is anything ?

if i happen to be in cambridge on the given day then i would come - my HQ office is St.Neots, but go about once per year.

Hi Bob,

Yes this would be brilliant! but as long as nobody pokes fun at the cosmetics on my 99 20VT...it looks 15 years old but only because Roger keeps giving me mechanical bills! :-D

Thank you,
Dan

This post shows, either, how few of our members regularly check the forum, or, how few are interested!

If the forum enabled one to target mailshot people, by location, perhaps more people would be up for meeting / events?

Not sure if im local up in Kettering! as essex dont feel that local to me! although i have (or my wife has) family in caterham Tunbridge wells and in ockendon essex
I want to get out a bit more (car wise) just got a few more bits and bobs to sort then should be ready to really enjoy the coupe! hoping to get near to the end of big spends by end of this year then it will just be the usual servicing and service parts also only on a 3000 mile policy this year so hopefully change that to somewhere around 9000 in october at renewal!
so im sort of a maybe but not that local really!

I don't think it can, Bob. It only knows the locations of people who are members or who have seller's rights.

Sadly I think you are correct Neil frown

Some forums do mailshot peeps if events happen in their area, it has never been a feature on here though.

I used to mailshot any local owners / members I knew of in a mass PM. But that involves knowing who is local and then having the ability to send mass PM's.

I've managed to get over to the Cambridge area in the past Bob, so no reason why not again.


16VT and X1/9 1500

I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

Herbies is cool with me; after work *slightly* preferred (weekends liable to be flying but don't know until Thursday or Friday).

OK they are closed on Mondays.

I've asked if they would be able to welcome a mini - midweek Italian invasion and they seem quite open to it smile

Thanks for starting to organise! Weekend or midweek good for me. Don't know Herbies, but Melbourne sounds a good venue. The sooner the better - dead keen! Cheers, Cliff

Anita says, as long as it's not early closing... I think she wants to go to Cambridge with Trish and buy it.
