North East Meet

Jimmy · 25-06-2003, 22:34

I know it's been mentioned in one of the posts by DMAC1969vRS but thought it would be easier to list separately regarding a NE meet.

Who would be up for it?? Whitley bay has been mentioned but anyone got any other suggestions? I'm easy (it has been said). We can discuss timings etc when we get some idea of numbers.

Oh BTW I'll go

fen_l&k · 25-06-2003, 23:21

I'm up in Geordieland from 26th July for two weeks visiting maw and paw, so I'm sure I could fit a meet in around those dates.

My only reason for mentioning Whitley Bay was the photo opp, I'm cool with anywhere within reach of Newcastle. Duncan will have to bring his Mitsu!

Cheers,

Howard

Dmac1969vRS · 26-06-2003, 10:26

If im allowed to attend I will indeed bring the 'bishi , and some pics of my 'dear departed' (ie the vRS...and maybe the Slxi 1.8T if i can find them...oh and I'll bring a camera too!)

Jimmy · 26-06-2003, 16:06

So, thus far we have:

1. Jimmy - Octy vRS
2. Howard - Octy TDi L&K
3. Duncan - Mitsu + Octy Photos + Camera

Venue - Possibly Whitley Bay sometime after 26 July. Any other takers?? Geoff (MonkeyHanger), Panrix ???

panrix2002 · 27-06-2003, 16:16

Definitely

End of July is good for me as well - I might have recovered from the mighty outlay I will be experiencing next week

There's a guy called Lucky (bad choice

) on here that might be interested as well.

MonkeyHanger · 30-06-2003, 15:48

Yep, i'm up for it

End of July or any time before August 8 as i dont plan to be in the country for a week after the 8 th

Fingers crossed, my Czech trip that got cancelled at easter is back on for then

By the way, Sunderland Airshow takes place on the 26th & 27th. Could be another possibility ? Although i'm not too bothered about the location, anywhere in the North East is good for me.

I can bring Camera's too (35mm and a Digi with plenty of memory cards) So pics shouldnt be a problem.

Jimmy · 01-07-2003, 20:36

Nice one guys. So at the mo we have:

1. Jimmy - Octy vRS
2. Howard - Octy TDi L&K
3. Duncan - Mitsu + Octy Photos + Camera
4. Panrix - Octy vRS (with mod's I do believe)
5. Geoff - Octy vRS + many cameras

Let's give it another week or so to see if anyone else is interested then I'll PM everyone to sort out a time/date/venue. BTW the weekend of 26/27 July SWMBO is in Edinburgh so am a free agent - although will have junior in tow.

Come on guys don't be shy there must be some more of you out there

fen_l&k · 02-07-2003, 13:18

I have noticed that new member KJDrummond1984 has a location of Newcastle. Assuming that's 'upon Tyne' rather than 'under Lyme', then there's another.

Up for it KJ??

Sounds like the 27th is favourite at the moment.

Cheers,

Howard

panrix2002 · 02-07-2003, 13:27

27th is fine by me

My car will indeed have mods by the time we meet up as it is now less than 48 hours until my visit to the fabled Jabba Grotto

My service and tyres (£60 a corner fitted for 225/45/17

) were sorted yesterday and all I have to do now is ring Skoda UK and light a bonfire under their ar$e$ regarding the appalling treatment my car had at the hands of Turners of Sedgefield. I will elaborate further on this in a seperate thread

I look forward to meeting up with my fellow NE Briskodians.

fen_l&k · 02-07-2003, 13:39

Funnily enough Panrix, when you are at Jabba you won't be a million miles away from my "gaff". IIRC they are in Peterborough.

OK, so 27th looks favourite - how about venue? Seems that most are from "south of the Tyne", so it would make sense to be that side (apart from poor Duncan coming from Berwick). Not being my usual stomping ground anyone any ideas/suggestions??

Cheers,

Howard

panrix2002 · 02-07-2003, 14:40

Howard,

I have time to say a quick hello on Saturday morning if you're up for it

Just give me a shout.

fen_l&k · 03-07-2003, 09:07

Panrix,

I'll send you a PM.

But I have made a BIG faux pas. 27th is my wife's birthday, so I'm going to have to duck out unless we can arrange another day. Sorry!

Cheers,

Howard

Jimmy · 03-07-2003, 09:23

What about the following weekend the 02 / 03 August. I would suggest Sunday 03 and maybe mid afternoon time.

panrix2002 · 03-07-2003, 09:47

Any weekend is pretty much OK with me. Whatever the rest of you want to do, I'll be there

Chanser · 03-07-2003, 19:41

Love to go but no point bringing in my car with no mods or new ICE.

Why not??

I'm going with my bog standard Octy TDi (of which I am proud, I might add).

The more, the merrier, I say.

Howard

KJDrummond1984 · 04-07-2003, 16:59

yeah lads y not i will attend let me know the dates in plnty of time so i can book time off work and i will be there. whitley bay sounds good but th is he max power meet at the team valley in gateshead. that wud be gud with sum of the motas that get in there

stuartwwood · 04-07-2003, 22:17

As a new member in the north east would be interested in meeting up with some other enthusiasts.

fen_l&k · 04-07-2003, 23:43

Stuart,

Let me try and beat Denis to be the first to welcome you to Briskoda!

As an ex-pat Geordie, its good to know that there are other Skoda owners about up there.

Looking like 3rd August for the meet.

Jimmy - any further ideas for venue??

Cheers,

Howard

Jimmy · 05-07-2003, 16:47

KJDrummond1984, Thanks for the suggestion. I don't know about others but a Max Power meet doesn't really sound like the right venue for a Briskoda meet - or am I just a miserable old git...

I did think of Whitby but it's probably a bit out of the way especially for Howard and Duncan coming down from Newcastle / Berwick. Why don't we agree to go with the original suggestion of Whitley Bay on Sunday 03 August. Howard, could you please advise the location as I'm not too familiar with that neck of the woods.

If everyone's in agreement what sort of time would most suit?? I'm not too bothered but would suggest maybe mid afternoon possibly 2pm??

Nearly forgot but welcome Stuart.

I notice you're also in the Durham area so if you see a black 'JED' plate vRS be sure to

Dmac1969vRS · 05-07-2003, 18:21

I dont think I'm gonna be able to come to the meet now , sorry guys.

stuartwwood · 05-07-2003, 20:50

thanks for the welcome guys. i agree with jimmy that the max power gathering is not quite the right place, as it attracts to many police cars. Whitley bay sounds like a good idea.

Duncan, You are the North East Skoda meister extaordinaire... You've just gotta come along. Anyway, we all have a desparate NEED to have a look at this Mitsu... Just cancel whatever else is going on.

Seriously though, if you can't make it then far do's. You've gotta do what you've gotta do. We'll make sure we take som piccies and post them for all to see.

panrix2002 · 06-07-2003, 16:39

Jimmy,

I'll be heading up the A19 so we could meet up with whoever else is coming from the Teesside/Durham way and go in convoy (I know the way

)

Aug 3rd is fine and dandy and I might have just about got bored of making my car accelerate like a ba$tard by then

Let's put some firm names up here so we're not leaving it to the last minute

Oh and welcome Stuart
