Hi all,

It's been a while since I've been to any PH's meets. In fact since I moved up here in 2016, I don't think that I've been to any. There used to be a meet at the Weighbridge Inn, but that's died a death. I was thinking of organising a meet up here, but thought I'd test the waters first.
I've got a place in mind, which has ample parking and does a good breakfast. I thought it'd be good to do a breakfast and then drive out.

So, who'd be interested?

I would be up for it sometimes. We used to meet at AV8 at Kemble, a venue i always liked, great drive down the Fosse for me and a good breakfast too. Weighbridge Inn was ok but less conducive to looking at the cars whilst chatting car bks

I`ll join you too Phil. There was a meeting set up at Yate last year on a Sunday morning but it didn`t seem to get going.

Thanks for replying all! It's good to see that there's some interest.

For the meet, I was thinking of heading to The Old Flying Club at the Bristol & Gloucestershire Gliding Club for breakfast. Their Facebook page is here: The Old Flying Club
They've got a tarmac car park, with no speed bumps, and they're happy to host us, which is always a good start! They serve breakfast from 9 - 11, so I was thinking of meeting for breakfast at 0930-1000 there, and then perhaps head off for a drive at around 1100 - 1130 to finish at the newly refurbished pub in Coaley, The Old Fox. Their Facebook page can be found here: The Old Fox
Their car park isn't huge, but 100m away is the car park for the Church/Village Hall/Shop. Both of which are again, tarmac with no speed bumps. There's also plenty of on road parking.

I'll have a think about dates. Probably looking at end of March/April, once it's warmed up a bit, and I know what I'm doing work wise!
I assume no one has any preference for Saturdays or Sundays?

Fingers crossed it'll all work out and we can make it a regular thing!

Sorry, pretty late to the party here.
Used to be a Dursley local, now live in Cheltenham. Might see about popping down as still have family that way, date dependent.

Where would you class Stroud or Dursley if not South-West?

The north, I imagine.
