CS SW Meets for 2014

[McGherkin]

I thought I'd open up a thread for all the ideas and suggestions for meets for the coming year. If you have any ideas stick 'em in here. This is also a bit of a preview

Karting - Another few rounds at Plymouth, with bonus rounds at Exeter and St. Eval

Camping - We're just doing it.

Paintball

Quadding

Clay pigeon shooting?

Test day at Haynes Motor Museum/Museum visit - the test track is currently closed during the museum's redevelopment, but it's expected to be back in service sometime around May/June. I'll be looking into organising a small test day to give people chance to chuck their cars around a bit. The museum's awesome too, so no doubt on the day we'll find time to look around.

Barn Owl meets - Will continue as per usual, every month unless we're doing something else.

Cheddar Gorge - Hopefully we'll be organising another meet up at Cheddar, was really good the last time we were there so let's do it again

Tipton RR day - Maybe another one early in the season, and one at the end of season as well to see how people's cars have improved over the summer.

Cornish meets - We will be heading deep into the heart of Cornwall at some point to scope out some great roads and photo locations.

Cliosport Saturday - For anyone who wants to go, we'll have a look into convoying up, most probably on the friday evening so that nobody's shattered on the day.

Days out - Thorpe Park has been suggested, no doubt we'll be able to do some other stuff along those lines. Maybe a visit to speedway/racing.

Dartmoor Runs/Drives out - Yes. Would like to have a breakfast run as well next year.

Well I think that's next year covered, shall we start one for 2015?

 

[McGherkin]

I'm sure we can squeeze a bit more into 2014

 

[l33th3tr33]

Yeah Hopefully most of that all goes to plan, I'm properly excited for next year now!

 

[McGherkin]

Can't wait mate. Had a few people react quite well to having cornish meets. Camping near Newquay and going karting at St. Eval in one trip?

Sounds like an awesome plan!

 

[VikkiB]

Can I suggest an evening BBQ when it's nice weather, maybe on a beach front or somewhere big enough for a few bodies!

Also a thought we could all meet for some activities like frisbee, rounders, picnic, BBQ make it a competition between those who turn up. This is also a little more female friendly of gals don't want to do quadding/paintballing stuff etc.

Maybe a little cheesy but perhaps somewhere like Butlins in Minehead or Brean leisure park for a day out... They've got day rates and have games, rides, pool etc.

 

[McGherkin]

I'm too ginger for sunny beaches. But agreed, would be a good meet. See what we can do BBQ's are a natural part of camping too.

 

[Ed.200]

Some nice and good ideas coming across should be good.
I have another option if people are willing, rather than camping, or in addition to camping, my family has a place out in west wales. Im sure I can commender that for a long weekend if people would like. Not far from Mid wales, Brecon, o and slap bang on the coast as well. So easy enough to get to some beaches for bbqs or nice poses by the sea. Of course it is weather dependent, when its sunny its epic, but this is british weather.
Just putting it forward, its nothing glamorous, but some great roads about

 

[McGherkin]

Camping's where you learn to peel cows, burn things and cook badly though.

I wouldn't like to be responsible for people coming into your parents' place though mate.

 

[Ed.200]

Its hardly glamourous as it is mate lol.
Was just an idea

 

[l33th3tr33]

Good idea Vikki, can't beat frisbee! Should keep everyone happy as it's free too.
You sure your parents wouldn't mind that Ed? Sounds promising!

 

[Ed.200]

Its part mine as well technically. There are only a certain amount of beds, but 2 hotels down the road. It was just an option for people. Fine by me if its not everyones cup of tea, saves me having to do anything! lol.

 

[McGherkin]

Can I be the Fresh Prince of Bel Air then?

 

[Ed.200]

I dont know can you?

 

[McGherkin]

Yes. It's on.

 

[Ed.200]

That mean you have some crazy lyrics and dance moves lol

 

[McGherkin]

Don't forget the dress sense too.

 

[Stopherson]

Sounds like 2014 is going to be a good year. Camping will be good fun I have a tent and have a gazebo.

 

[McGherkin]

Gazebo will probably come in handy

 

[Richy182.]

Sounds wicked Ed and sounds like a great year coming up!

 

[l33th3tr33]

Gazebo will probably come in handy

For when Lawrence needs to clean his car?

 

[plymcl172]

on the evening BBQ idea I don't see why we cant do that in the summer on a Exeter meet evening(seeings we are all together), Exmouth seafront would be nice to have a BBQ and throws of a fris !

That sounds spot on! I'm 100% for that.

 

[plymcl172]

good good, I feel not enough of us got together during the really hot months this year weather It be holidays or what not.... even had to cancel one summer meet :boring:

 

[banther]

Exmouth is a s**t hole.

If you want a bit more privacy, lovely location and a HUGE car park - Budleigh Salterton.

Couple of camping spots there too and only 10 mins further down the road.

 

[McGherkin]

banther I'll take a deeper look at that when I get home. Cheers!

 

[banther]

@banther I'll take a deeper look at that when I get home. Cheers!

Exmouth at the weekend - especially evening is full of marines and skanks.

Its not particularly pretty either.

For a more private/relaxed atmosphere Budleigh gets my vote.

 

[McGherkin]

We normally go there on Friday meets just because it's nearby. But that could well be a candidate location for the camping trip.

 

[plymcl172]

love Exmouth, I don't see how its full of Marines and skanks when all we do is park up and chat and take a few snaps

 

[banther]

I got the wrong end of the stick - thought this was for a camping trip not regular meets. For BBQ on the beach Budleigh is lovely plus the roads on the way are nice.

And Exmouth is a s**thole.

 

[plymcl172]

if you think so thats up to you........

we go there most months neways which is why it would be a good idea to go for a BBQ this time !

its just an ideas thread nothing set up yet

It IS for a camping trip. And I have no intention of camping at Exmouth seafront. What Rob is on about is that we usually go to exmouth after our monthly meet, but he wants to bring a barbecue to the next one.

 

[l33th3tr33]

banther - We tend to go to exmouth as it's not taking anyone out of their way, as we have Dan and Vikki from somerset, and McPickle, Ed, Fatty etc.. from plymouth so it's a happy medium really. Budleigh does look quite nice though, so thanks for the suggestion!

I live in Exmouth it's not that bad but I will agree about the marines. Budleigh is nice but not for camping unless you want to do it on the beach. I think a big camp site would be better with all are cars around us.

 

[VikkiB]

I'm sure I mentioned this but I believe we still our 12 man tent. Sounds like 2014 is gonna be a scorcher of a yr. looking forward to it... And it's so close. X

 

[McGherkin]

SJM Portable offices?

 

[VikkiB]

I'll make sure he brings tools, lol! X
