Summer Meeting - Windsor great park....
Discussion
Been thinking that we could organise a big summer meet. I enjoyed the VW meet today and the turnout was excellent so there are enough people that are willing to travel to this area.
The only place I could think of thats big enough is Windsor great park, but I am not sure if some of the cars will be able to get into the parking area or if people would even be willing to drive their pride and joy into it!
Anyway if we could organise it then everybody could bring a picnic we could get a game of footy going and maybe kite flying/RC cars going.
Anybody interested or got any ideas?
Cheers

Great idea! It's the place used by the Berks TVRCC for our annual picnic. Do be aware, 
however, that permission for such a gathering is required from the Crown Estate Parks Office...or we may not be allowed to congregate.
True enough, some of the cars we saw today may not make it over/through the potholes and the grass ridges...but we could go on a 'reccy' mission to be certain

Cheers Guys,
I pop down there during the week and scope it out.
The reason that I am worried about it is because the car park is a long gravel track and then you park up on the grass. I'm not sure how much clearence you would need.
I'll try and find an alternative if it's a no go!

Yep i'd be up for it but it needs to be organised, had a chat today with a couple of guys from Crown Estate or more to the point they had a chat with me, they wern't to impressed with not being forwarned of today's meet, seems it didn't help that somebody tried to drive through the barrier without paying and also there was a suggestion that one or two used the car park to practice their donut skills!
I've got a massive car park in one of our "sleeping" offices (long story) with space for 160+ cars in Chertsey (just one junction down - off J11, turn left, left and then second right...).
It's got Swans, a stream and lots and lots of car parking space.
I could even get the kitchens setup and make bacon sandwiches for everyone
All gratis, and no hassel (given we own the whole building and it's associated land!)
What people think?

(I know, I know, but there was no sarnie smilie) comments earlier are right about needing permission, i got a major bollocking when i took the tvr lot there a couple of years back without permission
a well planned summer meet would be a good laugh.
how about a reverse concourse event, to find the most abused and dirtiest car attending?
