Next event??

[WildfireS3]

So what's the next event? And when/where is it happening?

[tvrbob]

Either the Kielder run (Tom) or an evening at The Mill at Rainton, Houghton-le-Spring which I can organise.

Theres a Yorkshire run out on 25th April

Keep watching - Dales and pub lunch

[tvrbob]

And the 18th April, Cars in the Park. By gum it's getting busy.

[WildfireS3]

Ok, just lost track of what was happening. Anything happening before April? As I'm off back down South from the 2nd until the 18th. May attend some of the SE events whilst I'm down there.

[tvrbob]

The plan is to do a run in Kielder last weekend of March but Tom is organising it and he has been busy lately so hasn't had time to get it sorted.

If anyone fancies having a look over The Mill at Rainton, Houghton-le-Spring to see if the neighbourhood, carpark and pub are suitable then if they are OK we can plan an evening meet there during March. I was planning to check this pub out myself but it's an 85 mile round trip for me so I'm having difficulty finding the time.

[tvrbob]

It's happening. Watch out for a new thread. It's time we did something. Uni is about to break for easter so some of our younger members will have way too much time on their hands and will be looking out for things to do.

Well I took a quick look at the Mill today as I came home from work. It's a standard local pub, does the '2 meals for 6 quid' and 'live football' type stuff, so pick the wrong night and it may be full of footy fans...

The carpark is a reasonable size, but I'm not too sure about how safe it would be - footpath access from the front and rear, recycling bins and a shed at the back. There is a residential area to the rear so we might find a gagle of TVRs, Lotuses, Fiats (ahem!) etc might attract the attention of the local youths. I'd be fine to give it a go, but I'm not sure I could recommend it as a 'safe' type of place - we'd need a seat at the window to keep and eye on the cars.

Alternatives are:
Ramside Hotel (big car park, out of the way, some speedbumps up the drive but not too bad, food (carvery) till 9ish and I think you can just get a drink at the pendleton suite rather than having to have a meal - we'd need to check)

Pub Next to the Travel Inn at Broomside Park, just off the A690 towards Durham (Big carpark, away from residential area, easy to find). Pub nothing special but serves beer and food, non smoking area if that appeals. Only problem it's 2 mins walk from my house....

Someone suggested to me that a meet at a buddist temple would be a good backdrop to some photos. But looking through there sight they are trying to promote Tranquil peaceful living. So i dont think it will go down well with a few loud cars pulling up in there gardens
