Are we, as a region having one of these?
I guess it would be like a very large mega meet, with a chrismassy feel - perhaps xmas tree lights draped over the car, neon valve caps etc etc!?:eek: :eek:

Nicely

No-one's organised anything yet. However a MegaMeet would be due around this time.

Going on the general apathy displayed over the last one, I couldn't say how successful it would be. :indiff:

Ahhhhhh :indiff:
I must admit, i've only started reading this area in the last few weeks!:)
I did read a post which contained a lot of heated discussion centred around people's apathy etc :(
And, i must admit to be surprised by the lack of glos 200sxers at Santa Pod - perhaps its that time of year!? or perhaps peple don't like to meet. I personally say each to their own, but don't promise what you can't deliver on! :nod:
Its like IT suppliers - what abunch of "@£:$%, i've had a run of cockup after cockup .. arrrggghhhhhhhhhhhhh:furious: but thats another story

:wave:

If I'm in the country I'm up for it providing it's Bristolish :thumbs:

Pete C

16-10-2003, 11:25

I would definitely be up for this if I'm available at the time it's arranged (and my fecking 200 isn't broken again), and my diary's pretty empty at the moment! :)

No apathy here chaps :D

kirkster

16-10-2003, 15:40

I will even show my ugly face at the meet...

:thumbs:

16-10-2003, 15:49

we had better start planning now then......;) ...Just to be on the safe side.........

Where are we going to hold it too.....we should have another poll

Nicely

16-10-2003, 15:55

I'd be quite happy to go along, so long as it was at weekend.

kirkster

16-10-2003, 15:58

Bournemouth :D

Could be up for this one, depending on place and date:D

TAC

16-10-2003, 22:45

I'm fairly short on spare weekends between now & christmas, but would like to see you guys again, if it's on a weekend when I can make it :)

(Needless to say, wouldn't stand a hope in hell of making a weekday evening thing lol)

Jammers

17-10-2003, 10:12

Okay, i guess we need to decide ..
location and
format ??

Although location would be dependant on - who came??
Is this a chicken and egg scenario?:wack:

James

Nicely

17-10-2003, 10:15

I await, with eager anticipation, to hear the location. ;) :thumbs:

17-10-2003, 13:22

JB ducks down for cover again

kirkster

17-10-2003, 13:43

Bristol???!!!! Nah, can't let JB get his own way!!!

I reckon it should be in a fairly central location to us all.

I reckon Bath.

:D

No argument here :D

17-10-2003, 13:58

I can live with Bath :)

kirkster

17-10-2003, 14:02

3 For bath then.... I reckon Nicely can get there n all.

Can we have a vote perhaps? Make it nice and fair!

Pete C

17-10-2003, 14:22

Oooh, a meet in Bath! How exciting :D

I'm sure Jeff will be up for it too, he lives half way between Brissol and Baff :)

kirkster

17-10-2003, 14:36

Ducks for cover.....

Heh, the fecking thing's still not finished unfortunately, and probably won't be until next year sometime. It was supposed to be done last year! :smash:

kirkster

17-10-2003, 14:42

Ah well, we can always chuck him into the river.... :D

Nicely

17-10-2003, 14:54

Hey, Bath's closer! I'm in.

kirkster

17-10-2003, 14:57

can't it be at least close 2 a motorway for those that have 2 come far?:p

Nicely

18-10-2003, 07:09

lol. That's fine until you realise there are very few places that are further from a motorway than Salisbury... :annoyed: :D

cHiL

18-10-2003, 07:24

and Bath! LOL :p

Jammers

1. Bristol
2. Bath

Replies coming along nicely!

:D

18-10-2003, 10:45

Bath or Bristol is fine with me. Or if you want somewhere closer to a motorway, what about out towards Gloucester/Cheltenham?

Jammers

18-10-2003, 12:49

Gloucester / Cheltenham is good for me :thumbs:

Pete C

18-10-2003, 15:53

Bath's not that far from a motorway! You can get from the M4 to my house in Bath in 10-15 mins max :thumbs:

And nearly two to get to Cheltenham :rolleyes: This would be even worse for those along the coast. However, let's see what the majority go for and I'll decide whether its worth it. :)

Unfortunately I've just looked at the calendar and I'm a bit screwed for weekends in December :( I'm working on Sun 7th and have the SE Xmas meal on Sat 13th...doesn't leave many other options lol. Might be able to make the 6th if you have it then...if not, will have to hang my head in shame and resign meself to not seeing most of you till the new year :o :(

If Sat 6th is a goer then either Bath or Bristol - makes little difference to me afaik - both straight down the M4, pretty much :)

kirkster

27-10-2003, 09:14

What date are we looking at, coz I'll be in Brazil until the 7th December!

Don't want to miss the Christmas party!!!
