Feeler for Southern region mega meet

Nick H · 08-09-2007, 22:47

The member 'Big Col' from the VW Audi forum has proposed a 'Mega Meet' for the southern region,and I have duplicated his post here,with his permission.Sounds a great idea to me.

Feeler for Southern region mega meet ?
We have all seen the VW night driving advert on the telly.

Lets do it for real (Audi's, Skodas, Seats, Lambos, Bentley's and Bugatti's all welcome as well... haha ha!)

My plan, and it is an ambitious one is as follows....

1, There are several mini meets dotted around the South area.

2, Once people have assembled at those places they convoy to meet up with other members from other mini meets.

It is ambitious and I doubt there will be much interest but even if we could (as a start) even manage to organise two convoys, it would be a start.

Here is what I think should be the plan....

Mini meets at the following locations;

Fleet Services M3
Reading and / or Newbury M4
Oxford and / Cherwell valley M40
South Mimms M25
Clacket Lane M25

If at least two members could meet at the above locations at say 8pm then leave in convoy towards Heston Services on the M4, by my reckoning everyone should arrive at Heston by say 9pm.

The idea would then be to have a chat and mong around for maybe an hour, I'll bring the laptop with VAGCOM, a good time will be had by all etc then, if there is any interest, we could either disperse or convoy through / into London and see if we could get some photos of VWAF car and members against some of Londons landmarks.

This may of course be an over ambitious plan but if anyone has even the slightest inkcling they might want to get involved, then post up your interest. It doesn't matter if you are new to the forum and / or rarely post, please show your interest.

Proposed dates are;

28/09/07
29/09/07

5th or 6th
12th or 13th
19th or 20th
of October.

Please post your interest and lets do some night driving.

sounds fun.

**VRStu** · 09-09-2007, 00:28

That is pretty ambitious.

smstext · 09-09-2007, 00:35

nice idea, but have you seen heston services and the lack of spaces? maybe another meeting point needs to be thought of. . . just my 2 pence worth

Stuart_J · 09-09-2007, 01:09

Pistonheads often use the Public car park at Virginia waters, you can squeeze 400 cars in there, that should be big enough postcode GU25 4BE, Pub adjacent for "refreshments" & nosh as well

Can someone mention it to Big Col as Im not on that Forum

**Makefish** · 09-09-2007, 06:53

I could be tempted by something like this but like you say maybe it's a little too ambitious. We could tie this in with the Newbury meet we have?

It also sounds a little bit like the massive VW meet (the name escapes me for the moment) that used to be at Fleet Services but that got so huge the Services management refused to host it further.

Keep us posted as to when/where this is meant to happen

Hedge · 09-09-2007, 07:00

That would be No-Rice, which completely filled the southbound side of Fleet services and got 'moved on'.

I think the same problem applies to this one and that is you need somewhere that is happy to host all of the cars.

Nice idea though.

If its a one off and you inform the garage in advance then they dont seem to mind, the mini group stop at membury services each year on their annual trip and use the coach park, but all this is done with permission in advance and a strict itinery.

bump

whats the latest on this or did it die?

Nick H · 26-09-2007, 19:48

No it is certainly not dead!
Plans for this are still ongoing,and as soon as I have some info,i'll post it.

smstext · 26-09-2007, 20:17

nice one sounds interesting

richie · 27-09-2007, 10:47

Interesting, any chance of it being mid November, say the week end of the 17th / 18th??

Fezboy · 27-09-2007, 10:52

I'm interested depending on the date?

Emily-Elizabeth · 27-09-2007, 12:26

What about a Sunday evening and seeing if we can meet in a one of those Tesco megastores car parks?

I am sure permission would have to be found from the tesco manager, but hopefully he will own a VAG car anyway

Kablam · 27-09-2007, 22:37

the 20th is a good date, South Mimms M25.

Its a pretty epic idea, but would be wicked if pulled off well.

smstext · 27-09-2007, 23:43

yeah we all turn up on the day, no prior notice ringing up a 0898 number telling us where the meet up point is.... oh just like the days of illegal raves

smstext · 29-09-2007, 13:03

Is there a link for this so we can go see the preperations?

edit here it is: Feeler for Southern region mega meet ? - VWAUDI Forum

Why dont we just organise it ourselves and tell them if they want to come along they will have to grovel to us skoda owners
