When is the next meet?
JPC:
i for one think travelling to one central location, be it 200 miles away once every 2 months or so on a sunday or saturday isnt too much to ask is it?
I think whilst we still have small numbers on the forum, which i think is great to be honest, we shouldnt bother with the regional thing, yet.
I dont mind travelling to the next one! it would be great to have a large number of northern guys convoying down. with some decent weather we'l get a load good rolling shots!

Sorry JPC - didn't really get a chance to meet you properly at the meet last weekend. Also want to say a big thank you for sorting out the photos - I look forward to seeing the rest of them :smiley: :smiley:

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.

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...
