Maidstone Meet June 07

lfc958 · 02-06-2007, 20:41

Sorry you feel this way, the white rabbit WAS packed, due to the nice weather and there were plenty of people there.
Even I was surprised at the car park being so full.

The weather being as it was on Friday, I believe that even if we were at a bigger venue the carpark would still have been crowded.

The very early meets were at a larger venue, (Car Park), and it was found that we were getting rubbish service because of how busy it was, so we moved on.

I suspect that your expectation of the Maidstone meet, is of the proportions of the MK1 & MR2 meets, I am sorry to say that this is not the case, I am trying to get away from dozens of cars lined up, with lots of males, with drinks hovering around the line of cars( as per my experience at a VW J29 meet).
I am trying to make these meets more open to wives / partners and topics of conversation beyond cars and modding.

I will be posting later this year a day trip to Brugge, where partners & kids can come for a day out, and a stop to pick up some Xmas plonk.

With the above information in mind and you still wish to come to any of the meets, with partner / SWMBO the you are welcome.

Just look out for all the Briskoda fleeces.

Yes the parking was incredibly tight last night but usually we manage better than that.

First time I went to the Maidstone meet, no one had fleeces on! I just wandered about until I found a likely looking bunch and sat down with 'em.

Usually folks hang around in the car park until around 8:00 then go in (although as I was not there this month I don't know if this was the case). You could turn up in the MR2 next month, that would make 2 of us.

PS, still no idea who the lot I found at that first meet were but had a good time anyway.
