Suggestions for Midlands Meet before Xmas

johnyardley · 15-11-2005, 11:53

Hi,
Would appreciate your suggestions for a meet before xmas.
Precious ideas include Donington Park Museum, Track day at Mallory, Summer Pub meet. There might be an opportunity to have a meet at JBS rolling road/ open day when it's installed and calibrated.
Other suggestions would be appreciated!

Best wishes

John

There's a superb Thai restaurant in Watford village "Thai Garden" (just off the Gap services on the M1).

Bit far perhaps, maybe more central would be better.
Do you know of anything interesting happening at Silverstone

Is your 156 jtd completely dead. I thought about buying one a year ago. I got as far as testing a 2.4 jtd 5 cylinder!

Walk on clent

oh park up below in a.n.other pub and have food too.

johnyardley · 16-11-2005, 09:30

Colin,
This sounds like a good suggestion, anyone else agree?

It'll do me.
It's just down the road

***ColinD*** · 16-11-2005, 10:50

Pick a date, weekend prefered as it's a bit ofa hike for me, but Clent is not far from SWMBO's mum so

Otherwise any date is cool with me

BlueRobin · 16-11-2005, 10:57

By central where are you thinking of? Trouble is that "midlands" is such a poor definition.

I had a 2.0 TS petrol until someone pulled out of a side-junction in front of me. Still miss the really nice seats.

johnyardley · 17-11-2005, 20:22

Hi,
As above clent hills is suggested I will suggest a date if someone suggests a place to eat.
Okay, how abouts 10th December?

johnyardley · 19-11-2005, 15:41

The Clent Hills.
Iam not sure how much interest is being generated?

Best wishes

John

Dr Zoidberg · 19-11-2005, 18:05

I'll be fine on the 10th.

johnyardley · 20-11-2005, 10:52

Hi, The seat guys have suggested a meet at:

Park Gate
Stourbridge Rd Parkgate
Kidderminster Worcestershire
DY10 3PT
T 01562 850385

on the 04th December - can we ignite some interest???

The day will start at a kart track 09:30-11.00 am:

Nobody interested?

Dr Zoidberg · 22-11-2005, 21:37

Think I'm working that weekend.

vRS19TD · 23-11-2005, 09:27

I think i'm going to be in Leicester on the 4th, which is a shame because i live in Wollaston in Stourbridge, so it's just a 5 minute drive for me to either Clent or the Park Gate.

Whereabouts in Wollaston?
I used to live on Richardson Drive

vRS19TD · 23-11-2005, 14:50

I live up by Stourbridge Crematorium. It's called either Clent View estate or the Bird estate (because all the streets are named after birds, eg, Finchfield, Larkhill, etc), depending on who you talk too.

Dr Zoidberg · 23-11-2005, 14:53

I know it well

vRS19TD · 23-11-2005, 15:02

Whereabouts do you live now then?

Dr Zoidberg · 23-11-2005, 15:05

Moved up towards Brierley Hill , on the same estate as Thorns College.

vRS19TD · 23-11-2005, 18:38

I think i know where you mean.

johnyardley · 25-11-2005, 16:16

Hi, I think this thread is closed.

Merry Xmas All
