Doesnt have to be far, im thinking Sunday 3rd February, so not next weekend the one after...maybe meet up late morning and have an hour driving to a destination then a little time chatting before a drive back..

ajheath Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Cheese run is a good shout, if it stops snowing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinL Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Derby ?? just down the road for me.........well an hour closer than Leamington Spa! Dont worry,be happy............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge1979 Posted January 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 True true, well if your ok with the destination, can we make it feasable to meet Martin enroute somehow so we all get a bit of a drive together there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevsked Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Might be interested. What's a cheeses run? Trevor. I'll get around to it at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinL Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Dont know where you are headed but how about meeting at Donnington sevices or that area ?? Just another thought , have you done a visit to the Donnington grand Prix collection, well worth a visit. Dont worry,be happy............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge1979 Posted January 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Trev, cheeses run is just the destination...its a famous cheese maker near Buxton (i think)... In a village somewhere...the purchasing or appreciation of cheese is optional I guess! Martin, not personally but as no doubt ill have the mrs with me that wouldnt go down well with her! Mind you I doubt she has an interest in cheese either...so long as there is a decent pub/cafe at the destination for coffee etc it doesnt matter where we head..

nigeninja Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Trev do a google hartington cheese shop,its got its own web page,next door is a nice little cafe with good food. Donnington as most of us know a great museum,you dont need to go into the museum you can just go into the shop and cafe,only pay if you go into museum.

oneshot Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Looking OK for me (us) at the moment Dave - 2000 Sport 350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevsked Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Ah did a search and found the cheese shop but thought the run must be something else. Will depend on the weather a little as its a decent run for a cup of coffee but want to go nonetheless. Trevor. I'll get around to it at some point.

palmergeddon Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I might be up for this Darren. It's a long way for me to come, but if the weather is going to be good I'll make the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge1979 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Well, shall we say then if the weather is good we can look to do this or a trip for an afternoon, but if its naff..ie icy, snowy, pissin with rain, we can leave it and if anyone wants to meet local we can do so...itd be a shame for those interested to come a good distance for a sodden afternoon..

Andy Esprit SE Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 If its dry me and the mrs would be up for this? Donnington / Buxton would hopefully mean I could meet one of you guys on the way via the M1 or the M6 / A50, my esprit hasn't met another esprits yet in my ownership so be warned I might be a bit camera happy !!

dodge1979 Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Andy, camera happy is how we are! Would be good to meet you, I know I msg you last year about the meets we do. Weather is looking respectable for sunday...it may be a bit like today, sunnyish some cloud but on the whole dry...so shall we recheck by midweek and do a confirmed list of attendees, where each of us.can meet enroute etc...

MartinL Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Andy, I will be heading south on A1, M18, M1 depending on destination, we may be able to meet on route?? Dont worry,be happy............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge1979 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Right boys and girls...weather for sunday at the moment seems to be looking a bit grimm...so does anyone have any opinions whether we should postpone and try another weekend where we can gain maximum attendance and some rays?

tricky12 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 here here, if the weather is crap lets try another day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge1979 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Ok the consensus is to skip this weekend...just as a heads up then, the following weekend 10th feb (sunday) is the usual breakfast meet here just outside of Leamington.all welcome.of course.. I believe the following sunday after that im waving my dearest off at the airport so thats out for me, leaving the 24th feb. Not sure if this is the race retro show at stonleigh here in Warwickshire, some may already be off to that..if not then that is viable...or the.first weekend of March! Obviously if there are any midweek meets happening please mention as they may be suitable for some folks in the mean time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
