Southern meet

llblake · 03-05-2003, 22:06

Hi all,

I have been having quite a few interesting PM conversations with delcac about all things Skoda. And we think its about time we all got together for another Southern meeting? I missed the last one which was held in Bexleyheath. Are you guys up for another one soon at the same location? I was thinking of the first Sunday in June?

What do you think?

LLB

**delcac** · 03-05-2003, 22:20

I'll be up for that.

Des

mellowyellow · 03-05-2003, 22:40

How about tomorrow or Monday seeing as I have to go to Hastings to see the in laws , any opportunity to escape would be welcome

PLEASE !

PS the dog would like to come as well

llblake · 03-05-2003, 22:42

Sorry just remembered I can't make the first Sunday in June anytime after that is OK with me....

llblake · 03-05-2003, 22:45

Sorry mellowyellow can't do Sunday painting and Monday house hunting so it looks like the in-laws win

mellowyellow · 03-05-2003, 22:46

Thanks Lloyd

llblake · 03-05-2003, 22:48

Anytime besides Hastings isn't that bad

mellowyellow · 03-05-2003, 22:53

Suppose it will keep SWMBO happy and the dog likes the beach

Quinten · 03-05-2003, 23:14

I'd be interested in meeting up...

Q.

***ncarring*** · 04-05-2003, 19:16

Yeah count me in

**mannyo** · 04-05-2003, 20:19

I'd be up for another one, maybe this time the castle will be open

steve · 04-05-2003, 21:06

I'll have some.

No passengers or pregnant people this time

Steve

Stuart_J · 04-05-2003, 21:23

Would love to come, the only argument would be do we bring my Octavia or Wendys.
Keep me posted

stopan1j · 05-05-2003, 11:11

If I am free will be there - what date are we thinking of?

John

llblake · 05-05-2003, 15:35

Date: How about 8th June?

Time: To be decided by mutual consensus?

Venue: The Black Prince Pub/Hotel in Bexley on the A2.

**delcac** · 05-05-2003, 17:32

Lloyd

Just a small point on The Black Prince pub, it's not a pub any more it's a Holiday Inn. Just thought I best mention it.

**TaviaRS** · 06-05-2003, 08:05

Quite possibly, depends on a few other "events" which may take precedence

devonutopia · 06-05-2003, 08:55

How far is Hastings from Devon? If it wasn't too far i'd think about coming along too - May even have my sticker by then too

***ncarring*** · 06-05-2003, 09:39

It's bloody MILES, Jason - 270 miles using the M5/M4 which is the long way round. You could come along the Sarf Coast via Bournemouth, Portsmouth, Southampton - which improves in the latter stages because of the M27, but would still take hours. That's about 220 miles.

devonutopia · 06-05-2003, 10:26

Doesn't sound too bad if it would be a complete day-out. How far do most people travel to get to these meets? I reckon the A303 would be a good route to take, but I'd have to do a route-find on the AA website, which is bloody useful for finding good routes. Mental note made for early June...

devonutopia · 06-05-2003, 10:31

Bloomin' 'eck! I just did an AA route finder and it is about 250 miles from Okehampton to Hastings. I never realised that Hastings was that far along the South coast - Its practically Dover!

I'm going to have to see how wealthy I feel around the time - thats a lot of fuel to get there and back...

llblake · 06-05-2003, 10:34

Thanks Des,

So what time should we meet at the Holiday Inn, in Bexley on the A2 on 8th June?

**JaneC** · 06-05-2003, 10:59

Just checked on the AA routefinder site and it's 74 miles from me.

Assuming a) Girlies are invited and b) I am allowed out to play on my own, I may come along.

Jane

**TaviaRS** · 06-05-2003, 11:13

Girlies are always welcome

devonutopia · 06-05-2003, 11:18

It sounds to me like the best place which is easy to get to for everyone would be somewhere on the M4 corridor... I can't think of anywhere worth visiting though (dancing naked around stonehenge, anyone?)

Maybe we could race some MOD tanks around the Salisbury Plains as well?
