Not fussed on a date, beginning? 3rd?

Suggestions welcome here.....

Late August - might be able to come. Will take the Smart if im coming, owe a few people a ride - including yourself .

[Graham.J]

I'm not fussed as I said, I'm not doing anything in August.

Depends on what everyone else can do, it'd be an astounding meet if it was you and me that turned up.

Make sure it doesn't clash with Mania (9th) or Pie On The Beach (10th)....and I might make it along...more likely September for me..

or the 31st

31st is good though I was thinking of going to the RAFA Battle of Britain Airshow at Shoreham that day ..... 3rd is VSCC Prescott. Mind you most weekends in August will clash with something.

sounds good, even early september, just let us know, keep the pie on the beach date free though

[Podie]

I'm up for this... but can't do the first two weekends in August... other than that, pick a day!

[Graham.J]

The Sundays available for most seem to be 17th, 24th and 31th but that has the BoB on.

24th?

Edited to add: D'OH NOT 24th as the monday is a bank holiday = numpty's on the roads in greater numbers than usual.

31st seems to be the one at the moment...

[tuscan_s]

[jon_t]

Should be around for most of August - just pick a date.

Why don't the VW massive have a rumble over to Basingstoke to meet Don and then on to Pie on The Beach II change of scenery might be nice?

About 4 Bob, no 5!

[rob1e]

any time in August suits me.

Can't do the w/e of the 31st. Early September might be better.

3rd for me........Porsche National event at the end of August, and BTW, it's Virginia Water -no 's'.

Also, car park now £4.......

However, in a VW thread from yonks ago, I suggested a meet/picnic at the Runymede Pleasure Grounds (just down the road from VW and two mins from J13 of the M25) on the A308 between Staines and Old Windsor. Ticket parking and one can come and go as u please, + ice cream van, bouncy castle, takeaway etc......Space for over 300 cars.

Also boat trips available on the 'Lucy Fisher', fake stern wheeler made for the Tarzan film some years ago.

I thought it was, but then convinced myself it wasn't.

Sounds like a good idea though, would make rides alot easier for people

Whats the entrance like, ground clearance wise?

Looks good Graham, took the dog for a walk and paddle to cool off there yesterday!! Tarmac entrance and road to grass car park -looks smoother than my garden!!

I'll check the ticket prices next time I'm there.

There's also a paddling pool in the middle!!

It's about a ten minute walk down river to the Runymede Hotel if anybody wants a beer or meal.
