When is the next meet?
stealthwolf:
Like I said above, the location should change regularly so it's spread out more. Unfair for those of us down south to have to drive up each and everytime.
This way everyone has to drive some considerable distance to make the meet.
We need to put our locations on one of those map thingies so we can figure out where everyone is based and use that to help decide future venues.
billyboy:
just a thought, and am not driving in any wedges, or splitting the site in two,or more
this is a site for all, and wouldnt it be best for us to draw a cross on the map of britain, north, south, east, west. then having a representative (if thats spelt right) for each corner/region, and do are/your own thing monthly/yearly when ever,
then when show season starts get together as a club/forum/group/mob,
just tell me to EFF OFF if am talking 80ll0CK5
but that could be an answer, we could travel to other meets/gatherings if you/we wanted to catch up with others
yes/no
delete if ness

I thought about suggesting something similar but then figured it'd lead to problems and people forming their own 'cliques', which is a bad thing.
My suggestion was to first see where everyone comes from then have say "north" "midlands" and "south" groups and the meet would change between each of the three regions and that group would be responsible for organising location, food and timing. This way, everyone would have to travel roughly the same amount in the rotation.

Hopefully, well im sure that will happen eventually when we have more members. The idea at the moment is to get this place off to a good start and try and get as many members as possible together as one big Mk 5 community. :drinking:

Whilst this is a good idea, I dont think it will work in the real world.... I think what will happen is that people will only go to meets that they can 'be bothered' to go to. With all due respect, I can't see Joe coming to a meet in e.g. Southampton, and likewise, I can't see yourself or I going to a meet in Newcastle / Manchester!! So, it may result in arguments along the lines of "well I bothered to make the journey up to Manchester, so why can't you make the effort to come to Southhampton......................
In reply to other posts...
I think regional meets will come about as the forum grows definitely! And Billyboy's idea of regional reps is a great idea, and Im sure it will happen! Its certainly a feature of a lot of other online motoring forums, and its a system that works well.
I think its all about picking a central (ish) location that everyone is willing to travel to, that will get a good turnout of 20+ cars, so that we as a community grow together kinda thing! Not in dispersed units as it were...
