Was talking about this with a couple of people the other day and decided it would be best to gauge the interest on the forum, I'm aware that "back in the day" these events used to be more regular and well attended but it seems although the forum has moved on in recent times and although we have a very active and helpful forum base the meets seem to be spread across lots of local mini meets. so it occurred to me that it could be a good idea to hold a "Mega meet" give us a chance to put some faces to new names and old names alike as well as raise some money for the forum coffers :smiley:
Of course this will need a lot more planning and that will probably be the point when most people make there mind up but there's no point in going forward unless the interest is there.
Really open to suggestions and input, for me I'd just love to see your cars and have some BBQ food :party:
Let me know what you guys think, and we can start brain storming :popcornsoda:
Cheers - Rumple.

It is a great idea rich
I would defiantly be up for it and would be willing to help out as as well
We need a mk5 gti events organiser
We also need to get the stands better attended at shows than what I have seen so far
We have a great forum with many members it wouldn't take much to get people to attend especially if a tuner is willing to let us hold at their premises and that way we could buy some goddies as well and the tuner can pramote there business
-
I think the last one that was organised ended up taking place at Inters last year (or the year before). I think the trouble with that was finding a venue for it.
-
Hardest bit is setting a date and getting people to commit even though there will be loads of interest.
I hope you pull it off, it's a big forum could be a great event!
I underestimated how hard it can be when pitching a forum meet / show / sprint day so am going to start planning now for next year

I nominate Jay to organise it. :laugh:

Would be a great event, like Mike said though.....Really hard to get people to commit to anything!
-
I've been to meets with 10 people and not gotten to speak to everyone there... :ashamed:

:booty:
That didn't happen........
Anyway, my issue with this is that having been involved heavily in UK-mkivs.net for a long time I know their yearly mega meet costs a fortune to run, about £400 thats for a weekend where we book out a whole field for 2 1/2 days.
I am happy to look into this but I would need a decent list of 15-20 people at list who would actually bother turning up.
Ukmkivs megameet had 25 people on the friday about 30 on saturday and around 35 (Im lead to believe) on the sunday and raffles, prizes etc were all sorted out as well as drinks and Freddos supplied for free.
Would people want a weekend camping event, or a one day only thing?
Why not have a BBQ at Alex's place... AKS Tuning ... :party: :party:
Either way if people want to start putting their names down for interest then I will organise something based on that.
-
briskoda organize a mega meet every year and there are often in excess of 50 cars

Jay would make an awesome organiser for this, and I'd be happy to put some extra cash towards it if needed. :party:
My first question is who's on BBQ duties :grin:
-
Not me.

A BBQ at AKS Tuning? Sounds expensive... :P
-
I'll turn up. Wherever is fine, whenever will be dependable! :rolleye:
-
To be honest, if it's within 2 hours of north London I'll probably attend, but I'm down in the south west from end of September for two months.
-
I'm well up for this, where abouts is it??
-
Were getting to that, just gauging preliminary interest :smiley: Once we have a rough idea of how many people would be down for this event we can start planning the details :drinking:
If your considering it at all please show your interest :love:

I better ring the cafe next door and pre-book my bacon & brie baguette if it's going to be busy......I'll be lost being at the unit and not having one! :happy2:

Bacon and Brie baguettes :drool:

I think there's enough room at AKS.... It would be tight but chances are will be 20ish car turn out

AKS Tuning and bacon and brie baguettes. What more could you ask for? :party:
I'm down in Plymouth from end of September till December so depending on timing I might not be able to attend. Outside of those months, I'm only an hour's drive away so would happily attend a forum mega meet.
-
I,d be up for this meet it sure does sound, although likely to be away when a date is set.
-
First of all new year greetings to one and all, now down to business.
Did the mega meet actually materialise? It definitely is a good idea and I for one would be interested in such an event.
