Just to confirm the plan as a few posts have gone off topic.

This Sunday, 1st February at the Northey Arms in Box, just off the main A4. Meeting time is 8.30am.

Michael who runs it, will have breakfast on for us in the form of full English or bacon/sausage baps etc if you want them.

We have a good number wanting to come along, if we get some good support on this first meeting then we can build on that and get some great drives/events organised over the course of the year. The first meet will be a get to know you all and admire each others machines. We can then get some plans for the future set up.

Come along, we will probably be there until 10.30am/11am i guess.

My mobile number is 07789 862866 if you need to text/call for directions but it's pretty easy to see.
thanks
Alastair



I'm into all sorts of cars and am lucky enough to have a few different ones. I live in Corsham but around this area there seems to be a lack of meets and general petrol head chat which i miss as most of my friends are not remotely interested in cars!

So, i thought i'd put the feelers out to see if there were any of you that wanted to get together on a regular date each month to chat and look over each others pride and joy and then in the future, organise some drives from that meeting point as there are some great roads on our doorstep if we get out early enough. There would be no restrictions on the type of car or age, just a passion for cars is all thats needed!

So, who'd be interested so i can gauge interest and organise a location and dates etc for an initial meet?

I know but there are already some meets in Bristol and getting there is a pain in the rear hence looking to do something closer to the areas mentioned above.

I must admit I dropped the ball this year with the weather we have been having this past couple of months, had I taxed the car though you can bet the weather would have been pants!

I would certainly be up for this.

Marshfield area perhaps would be a good location to meet?

I'm up for this, did one last year down at Cheddar Gorge with fellow Phers. Was great hearing the different cars going through the Gorge and some top roads down that way.

I'm just outside lovely Trowbridge!

Ok, looks like we have enough interest and things will no doubt grow from there anyway. I'll get some calls out to a couple of places that can accomodate us and make sure it's ok for them to be open from say 8.30am on a Sunday until perhaps 10.30am unless we go for a drive. I think the first few meets will be arrive, bacon bap and a chat to get to know everyone and then we can sort drives from there on in.

Watch this space!

I would be interested in this and am on the West Ashton side of Trowbridge.
I generally go to the Queens Square Bristol meet every 2nd Sunday, the AV8 meet at Kemble Airfield every last Sunday and The Salmon pub in Berkeley most first Sundays of the month so the 3rd Sunday is best for me. Queens Square is particularly popular so you may find some others interested also attend this.
