Hello All members in the area. I'm primarily running these meets on behalf of Club GTI, but all forums are welcome to attend.

A little background. I used to run the Club GTI Worcestershire region, and it was hugely successful. We had up to 50 cars attending the meets on busy summer months, and had a great atmosphere.

When

Every third Sunday of the month starting at 1pm (October to Feb)
Fourth Sunday of the month starting at 1pm (March - due to Mothers Day)
Every third Monday of the month starting at 7pm (April to September)

Where

Hatton Arms (The Waterman)
Birmingham Road,
Hatton,
Warwick
CV35 7JJ

Menus TBC (http://"")

Map here (http://"http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=CV35+7JJ&hl=en&ll=52.300652,-1.648099&spn=0.003969,0.009645&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=15.738773,39.506836&hnear=Hatton+CV35+7JJ,+United+Kingdom&t=h&z=17")

Why?

Excellent. Will be great to see you there.

Will be a bit of an Old Scool vs New School meet with everyone from here and the others from CGTI. :)

If I had my Mk5 then I might have popped along, the fuel bill for bringing whats in my garage this weekend would pay off the debit of Greece  :laugh: :laugh:

Glad everyone had a good afternoon. Always great to meet up with a bunch of like minded car enthusiasts that you get on with. The weather obviously helped today, although if rain was present the banter would just move indoors.

Going to take a look at the car park at 7pm tomorrow to see what it's like for next months meet. Hopefully weeknights are much quieter.

Thanks again all!! :)
