Aye! I'll can also see if the new owner of my old Scots Green baby fancies coming along (well hopefully he will be the new owner officially today) as he is in Darlo also. Of course I'll bring my spanking new Moon Grey baby (recently liberated from North Yorkshire) for all the ladies to swoon over

Come on, where's everyone at? I promise I won't send you all down the mines again on the next meet. Roly, I was actually thinking of suggesting a joint meet with you Yorkshire boys as I noticed you're still trying to get something sorted. Not sure what everyone else thinks, but maybe we could meet halfway somewhere?

You can count me in for a North East Coupe Owner's Club meeting (we could call ourselves the NE COCs).
Emma will be expecting to go back down the mine, so entertainment will have to be good.

Good idea - somewhere close to the A19 would be for us down here.

Ripon, perhaps. Ideally placed for a run on to the North York moors.

I barely know Ripon, but I do seem to recall that the town centre itself is bad for traffic and parking.
Is there somewhere on the outskirts we could meet?

Well following on from our tour of the lead mines, we need to keep up NE COC's tour of historic & interesting places.
There's Fountains Abbey & Newby Hall close by to Ripon. Newby Hall is worth a look round but doesn't re-open until 1st April.
Never been to Fountains Abbey - is it worth a meeting up there rather than in the centre of Ripon?

I actually went to Fountains Abbey two weeks ago when I went to have a look at my new toy which was near Ripon so I can vouch for the following. 1. Not too far from me! 2. Reasonable amount of parking (although beware that it looks like there are two separate entrances depending on which way you enter from). 3. Big ruin to walk around, walk around potential, enough space to sneak a footy in and have a kick around (can bring my industrial strength Neoprene knee support to protect my dodgy ligaments!). 4. Large cafe to sit around in. 5. Lots of twisties to get there. Newby Hall looks like there more to do though IMHO. I'd also have to actually drive past the house where I bought my new toy from so would be a trip down memory lane for the motor.

If you don't want windy and freezing you should be looking to attend a soft Southern meeting.

There's no reason why we couldn't, if people were up for it, but there might be problems attracting enough people to a regular do.
I suppose we could have a meet in a pub on the 1st what-ever day of each month or something and change from pub to pub so that it doesn't always end up with the same people driving miles.
OK, throw my hat into the ring ... how about the 2nd Tuesday of each month?
Edited to add: Which would be a spectacularly bad choice, because the 2nd Tuesday next month is Valentine's day.
How about the 3rd Tuesday then and have the first meet somewhere in Newcastle?

As we've got a suggestion for the first venue how is the following ...
3 Mile Inn, Great North Road, Gosforth. NE3 2DS Tuesday 21st February 2006, 8pm.

Right,as this is a non starter for Tues night I am taking the coupe out for an extended drive next sunday (26th) to Whitby. Hoping to park in the car park on top of the cliff close to the Cook statue. Should anyone fancy a micro/mini meet either post here or may see you there on the day. We were hoping to be there around lunchtime.

Thanks for the update Dave, but will probably be giving Thomas a miss if the weather is the same tomorrow. A trip to see Chicken Little now looks more likely. Enjoy your business trip, hope there's not too much sh!t flying around. As it's such short notice, do you know the way.... ....to San Jose?

Fantastic day had by all,well us anyway. Nice bracing sea breeze (fccuking freezing) great fish and chips at the magpie in Whitby and on the way home we stopped at Sandsend and got drenched as the waves were breaking over the sea wall. Now that was cold. Coupe behaved impecably. Must do it again sometime.

Paul, Yes I know the way! Sh*t is proper hitting the fan here (otherwise I wouldn't have been sent out on a days notice). All the way to California and it's p*ssing down , at least I still only need to wear a T-shirt though Haven't seen any coupes yet but have seen a mint e type driving around (although this isn't the etype spotting in California thread!).
