How about a meetup then drive up to the TVRCC meet? There's a run up to N Yorks this Sunday (12th) or we could do a shorter trip to S Yorks the week later.

Theres a few others from the club from Chesterfieldshire and a run up would be cool.

Otherwise could meet up on a Thursday by the spire and scare the Laxxers Probably not

Or Mansfield on the Last Sunday of the month went to the last one and discretly parked the TVR amoung the boyracers, and was quite surprised how many positive comments it got

Ok.

19th then. Should get to Rotherham by about 12ish, so how about meeting at 11 in the town centre car park?

Everyone's welcome by the way - not just TVRs. Should be a good rumble.

That would be cool.

Just had a look at the weather - wintry.

That far in advance it's always wrong so could be quite nice!

Just to clarify?

I assume you mean meet at Chesterfield's 'doughnut' car park at 11am, then go on to one in rotherham for 12 noon?

If so, what 's the rotherham location as I'll have to be in sheffield at 11am.

That's the one. The big car park in the centre of the doughnut, by the co-op. (unless anyone can think of somewhere better)

I'll be there at 11 if anyone wants to meet up. Should be plenty of time to hang about and then get up to sunny Rothers.

The meet is at the Earl of Strafford in Hooton Roberts. It's on the A630 just north of Rotherham on the way towards Doncaster, if you are going from Sheffield direction.

Pub is pretty easy to find, and people are normally there from 12.

If you want a map there is one on the SYTVRCC site.

Cool.

Varies a bit but there were 27 TVRs a couple of months ago. Can be about 10 if the weather is bobbins.
