Well after the success of last nights meet, on to the next one. Lets try and get as many as we can while this weather lasts. Evening meets work well for most people at weekends i think. Less traffic etc.

My 1st thought is a coastal run. Drive down the coast, stopping off at a few places for pics, food etc. (Obviously this would be a whole day type thing).

I also think a meet like last night, just a different location (suggestions welcome please), as they are easy to organise and flexable around people.

So any ideas then? My coastal idea will most likely take place in August after me and dan have planned it (he doesnt know this yet :rasp: )

Really?

Tried to go there a couple of times with some mates. First time they had booked out the Arrive and Drive session with a GP, and the second time they seemed totally disorganised and expected us to wait 2 and a half hours for an arrive and drive.

Went to M4 Karting at Hullavington instead, very good there. Track isnt as exciting, but much better organised and all a good laugh.

I know I need to spend money Will. I spend to much getting to and from work though! :). I need to watch this forum more though so I dont keep missing the meets!

Our uni motorclub goes to the raceway a lot and we have never had any trouble with them.. We always book events tho rather than arrive and drive. Really good track quite technical in parts not about just keeping your foot in everywhere.

Only trouble with karting is:

a) getting enough people interested
b) getting ebough people DEFINATELY interested so that they dont all just drop out nearer the time leaving you with hardly anyone left.

If were going to arange Karting then we should arange a proper event, book it out and take depostis to stop the 11th hour drop outs leaving us short.

But then, dont we all drive go karts anyway? :)

It would be good to unify the whole SW in one massive meet, epecially as a lot are not going to FCS cos of the distance.

What was the beach they met on?

Tbh guys down the m5 isnt THAT far to go if you think about it. If us sw meet half way down with the souther sw people then it should work out fairly.

Im fine doing that, its just other people that dont like travelling. Ironic considering its a car club ;)

Ok so me and dan have been talking and we have some results.

As june is FCS its a busy time for us all. So nothing much will happen. A longwell / cribs meet should take place. The south central may be having a bbq meet which we can attend but thats still under work.

So now for july and august.

4 options. One of which im sure you will all chose for certain ;)

So:

1) Karting

2) Wales (brecon beacons drive and pics day)

3) Devon (meeting up with the devon and cornwall people half way to do something like go to the beach etc.

4) Coastal run( basicall start in bristol and drive down the coast stopping off at set locations for pics / food etc. Can be a over night thing maybe, depending on peoples funds, but camping or travel lodge isnt to expensive)

So i dont expect people to be able to afford them all as thats alot of money, but i think at least 2 of them.

I will try and get a poll up.
