Midlands Meeting 25th May Nr NEC

funkyjutel · 08-05-2003, 19:26

Gentlemen oh and ladies.........

Start your engines.......

Midlands meet being considered, organised by my goodself for all those with a Skoda persuation and Briskodan blood!!

See thread entitled "Calling All Briskodans"

This is in response to Devonutopia's idea - good one by the way, this should get more visibility.

Please register your interest in coming under the "Calling All Briskodans" thread.

I hope for a really great turnout, so let's make it one to remember people..........

Quinten · 08-05-2003, 19:32

Doh! Should really give people more than 2 minutes to reply to their messages

Looks like I'm not able to make this one after all. As it originally looked like it was going to be the Sunday I said I'd come, but on Saturday I have to spend some quality time with the family as they head of to Holland for a week Sunday early

Q.

Dmac1969vRS · 08-05-2003, 19:36

I thought it was the Sunday????

**mannyo** · 08-05-2003, 21:23

I am sure you mean sunday funkyJ

funkyjutel · 09-05-2003, 08:14

I think I'm going mental, sorry everyone.

I got fixated with the 24th being the Sunday.

IT DEFINITELY IS SUNDAY THE 25TH.........

SUNDAY 25TH, 25TH, 25TH....

There hope that is clearer now. Iam now finished my period of temporary insanity.

Quinten · 09-05-2003, 08:20

ROFL!

Think we can safely say that funkyjutel isn't allowed to drink at the meet as he is over the limit already

Right, thats settled then, count me in

Q.

He's always over the limit.

funkyjutel · 09-05-2003, 09:59

Des,

I'm not always over the limit, just on the limit!!!!!!! :drive1:

devonutopia · 09-05-2003, 10:33

I'M IN!! I'm heading up to all my relations near Leicester on the Friday evening until the Bank Holiday Monday, so I shall nip over from there on the Sunday (only about 40 miles I reckon). What sort of time are we looking at? I assume the bar will be open from 11am, so that sounds like a good time.

Stimps · 09-05-2003, 11:33

I think I'm free that weekend, so will probably come along too :-)

***ncarring*** · 09-05-2003, 12:06

Is it possible to change the title of this thread? It's confusing .... those of us that have been following know by now that it's the 25th but new readers may skip it.

**mannyo** · 09-05-2003, 12:12

Colin?

devonutopia · 09-05-2003, 12:19

Only solution could be to start another new thread, and delete this one?

Quinten · 09-05-2003, 12:29

It should be possible for Colin to change the topic title, but might be more trouble than worth it...

***ColinD*** · 09-05-2003, 13:26

Tis Done...Might be there aswell yet

not far, is this a pub session or drive session?

devonutopia · 09-05-2003, 13:47

24th? 25th? The date doesn't really matter to me. All I know is, on God's day of rest I'm going to be heading out to the Malt Shovel. Does anyone know what their planned e.t.a's are?

Quinten · 09-05-2003, 13:50

I'll be probably really early as I'll be driving from Luton airport at around 6am... Hope there is a Maccy D for breakfast nearby

Q.

devonutopia · 09-05-2003, 14:07

I'll do a search online for the nearest one. I may end up doing the same thing

Stimps · 09-05-2003, 14:12

Colin,

As it's at a pub, I had assumed it was a look at the cars and then have a drink type of affair... :-D

devonutopia · 09-05-2003, 14:15

How sad am I. I've done a search on the MaccyDs website, and found one just along the A45 from Stonebridge - see attached map. But, as its a pub, it should be serving food. I suppose McD is needed just for those arriving early and needed some breakfast.

I "think" I'll be able to grab breakfast with one of my relatives - A big fat fry-up at that, so I'll probably be sorted for brekkers.

(upon closer inspection of the map, I've realised that the nearest one is actually hell of a long way from the Malt Shovel - sorry!)

EDIT : I've got the link to the streetmap.co.uk link to where the Malt Shovel. It's got Coventry and Brummy-ville on it, so I hope its good enough for y'all to navigate there with.

http://streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=...=newsearch.srf

(bloody long URL isn't it?

)

***ColinD*** · 09-05-2003, 14:51

Okay I'm cool with that, but the B roads North are great, I spent a year in Nuneaton and Leicester so sort of know the little roads between Nuneaton and Stoke if there was a desire to have a potter out

Might be a conflicting date, not sure yet! Fingers crossed.

ps This page

devonutopia · 09-05-2003, 14:59

fingers crossed indeed* How did you get streetmap to show such a larger area than my map? I guess you found something on that site I have yet to discover..

I'm not familiar with that area of the midlands at all. My old territory was south of Leicester - kind of around Market Harbrough and toward Northampton & Corby.

funkyjutel · 09-05-2003, 16:39

Ah fellow Briskodans,

It's good to hear from so many enthusiastic people!

I am suggesting we meet on the 25th SUNDAY at 11.00am approx at The Malt Shovel Pub as described so aptly on the previous threads in terms of location.

Time then for a coffee/pint/chat and then I thought it would be good to head just down the road to a pub called The Bull's Head in Meriden for something to eat.

The idea of the meet is just a chinwag and gawp at each others motors

Swap tips etc

It's also a good chance to catch up with e-mates and put some faces to the names out there

I am really looking forward to seeing you all and it's great that so many of you are making an effort to attend me humble little bash ah hem..........

Any probs, then leave me a private message on the site and i'll respond accordingly.

Oh and for you McDonald fix needers there's one about 10mins drive away on the A45 in Coventry as you head out towards BHam

See ya there................

devonutopia · 09-05-2003, 16:44

Do I see some sign of emotion in that post, funky? *sniff - cough cough - surely not!

11am it is. If I leave my relations at around 10, it shouldn't take more than hour to charge to the M6 at Rugby and peg it along to Stonebridge. I'm looking forward to this a lot.

Note to Colin/Ian - Do you reckon my sticker will have arrived by the 22/23 May? I'd feel a little out of place if I showed up without my briskoda.net sticker proudly displayed for all to see.

***ncarring*** · 09-05-2003, 16:47

Somebody for heaven's sake post him a sticker to shut him up

See you there Jas :p

Funky is there somewhere we can go for a quick blast in the vicinity if the urge arises?
