Somerset Mini Meet - Frome

[NFox]

So after a bit of a chat in a welcome thread it come to light how many of us are actually in a small area of Somerset and how many are actually willing to travel to us!

It will be good for a get together to start putting some names to faces and get to know our local crowd!

Now I was looking at dates however wondered whether people prefer the idea of doing something at the weekend or simply just meet up one evening in the week? What do you guys prefer, whats better with work etc?

As for meeting areas, you have the usual cliche McDonalds area with a lot of carparking space or asda etc?

Possible meet ideas could include maybe a trip over to westbury white horse to get some pictures on the top? I personally am very easy going so what do you guys think?

 

[Chip-mk1]

If its a weekend evening then I'd be up for it if there was a taunton convoy over, as I work away during the week so am not around.

 

[Tony172]

I'd be up for this any day suits me

 

[NFox]

Sunday the 6th or 13th May possibly?

 

[Chip-mk1]

Maybe worth making it shepton mallet so its easier for people who arent from frome to get to as well?
Plus then you guys can meet first in frome, and convoy over together so you get to have a bit of a drive out together, would be closer for the likes of me/lesley/shifty/emma etc then

 

[NFox]

Seeing as I live in Shepton Mallet, that sounds like a great idea!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Lol!

Fair one.

I think friday night is generally viewed as the best one for this area (I think a couple of people work sundays IIRC), thats when people normally organise for and seem to get reasonable turnouts, so might be worth considering that unless there is a specific reason you wanted a sunday.
Friday the 4th is the big renaultsport track evening at bedford though, so dont pick that one, lol

 

[NFox]

Fridays are generally fine, I wont be able to do the 11th however as I will be in Manchester, thinking about it I will be in London on the 18th as well but the 25th could work!

 

[Shifty.]

I'd be up for a drive somewhere different and convoying from Taunton.

 

[NFox]

Was thinking another option could be the home of Hot Fuzz (Wells), quite picturess for some snaps, a few pubs etc and wouldnt involve sitting in a carpark!

Anyone else got any ideas?

 

[Chip-mk1]

Wells sounds fine to me.

 

[Jamie86]

Think I'm allergic to Somerset but will give it a go ;-)

 

[marinemackay2003]

I may pop in on the way past depends on time really

 

[Ash87]

i'll prob come if its near the end of may and im driving again by then

 

[NFox]

Shall we say Friday the 25th May then? How does that sound to everyone?

 

[marinemackay2003]

Sounds good to me

 

[Emma.]

Shall we say Friday the 25th May then? How does that sound to everyone?

Im doing a track day that day so I most probably won't make that day

 

[Shifty.]

Wells sounds good to me

 

[VeinAST]

Frome lol.

 

[GSKingsbury]

Well i don't mind coming along. I live in Devizes so if any 1 from there fancies convoying across counties then im up for it. Just need to know a date.

 

[Shifty.]

Preferably late in the month is better for me as I won't be driving for a couple weeks due to appendix removal.

 

[NFox]

Shall we go for the 25th then? Or friday the 1st June?

 

[Shifty.]

Sounds good to me, I'll come along if I can, where are you going to have the meet? Has that been decided yet?

 

[NFox]

Nothings in stone but Wells seems like a good shout!

 

[Shifty.]

Cool I'll keep checking back, hopefully it only takes a couple weeks before I can drive again too

 

[Chip-mk1]

25th or 1st both sound ok to me

 

[NFox]

Shall we say the 1st June, gives everyone a bit more time to prep, Shifty will have more of a chance of attending being a bit later and also Emma couldnt make the 25th? I will pm all the non full members to confirm with them tomorrow the date etc. Meanwhile I am going to pop in to Wells to check the parking situation as I haven't been for some time!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Ok first of june in wells it is then

 

[Shifty.]

Yeah sounds cool to me, what sort of time we thinking?

 

[NFox]

Well depends what people want to do? Maybe meet up about 7ish in the centre, get some pics maybe grab a drink at the pub featured in hot fuzz? Or there is a 2 for 1 resturant/pub a few miles down the road with ample parking, also a nice indian again with ample parking?

 

[Chip-mk1]

2 for 1 restaurant pub sounds like a good plan to me

 

[Shifty.]

What he said^^

 

[NFox]

Well thats settled then, we could all meet in shepton as I believe you guys will run via shepton anyway as will the Frome guys then convoy in to wells and go from there!

 

[Shifty.]

Name the time n place and I'll be there

 

[Ash87]

sounds good, i will see if will. and that lot want to come along

 

[Will.]

If it's Friday 1st June it's a no go. Going out on the lash with work.

 

[VeinAST]

June is a no go, MOT, insurance and IOW fest...

 

[Chip-mk1]

Sounds like there are still enough people up for June the 1st to make it worthwhile, ultimately we'll never find a date that suits everyone.

would be good to have more meets down this way

 

[NFox]

Yeah I agree, I was thinking that we should change it again but we are just delaying anything from happening!

Maybe we should get a list started for everyone who can make the 1st:

1.) Nick 'NFox'

 

[Chip-mk1]

So to recap its meet in wells centre at 7pm and then onto the 2 for 1 restaruant/pub leaving at about 8pm?
(got a postcode or anything for the pub for anyone wanting to go straight there nfox?)

1.) Nick 'NFox'
2.) Chip
3.) Lesley (might have to meet us at the pub if she is on a late)
4.) Shifty
