Farmers Fayre/Caffeine & Machine Meet 2!

[R29TJR]

I’m coming but will be leaving after Farmers Fayre as I’m out in the afternoon with the family.

 

[Jekyll]

Just checked the weather and it looks like it may rain (40%) around 3pm - 4pm which is the time we'll be looking to leave anyway so fingers crossed it stays decent.

 

[RustyMojo]

Yep met office report for Sunday shows no rain until 4pm and even then light drizzle with sun…so hardly anything horrific and certainly not enough to ‘melt’ a clio

 

[frayz]

We’re driving Clios, not 250 SWBs! 😅

 

[Amos91]

Might have to pack the roof then

 

[Bubbles]

[AndyPembs182]

Can we have a hydrophobicity competition?! BEADS BEADS BEADS

 

[K4M_clio]

I do hope so

 

[Bubbles]

Don’t look at the weather now lol

 

[MrBlonde]

Oh well what can you do ay & typical,still a few days to go tho.Im still fecking going tho,just make sure ive got my rain jacket.

 

[RustyMojo]

Only still forecast for Drizzle at 1pm…plus sunshine. It’ll be fine!!

 

[DomP182]

When's too late to decide to come along? If I get mine back from the bodyshop in time I might come along, unless turning up in a Trafic counts?😄

Well the Farmers Fayre you can just turn up mate so no probs there but,Caffiene and Machine you need to buy a ticket.

 

[RustyMojo]

It’s only a tenner Dom, be worth buying one just in case mate. Albeit I can’t see them selling out and I’m sure someone will drop out

 

[MrBlonde]

Now its looking Sunny/Cloudy 😆

Will still be good day anyway to see others cars & meet people👍🏻

I believe you can cancel the C&M tickets up to 24h in advance and get a full refund so can just get a ticket and decide the day before to go or not?

I sadly can't make it, do like the idea of the farmers fayre though, bit more time actually looking at Clio's rather than Lambos.

 

[VenomUK]

I just got 2 tickets yesterday. I believe last meet people still got tickets the night before.

 

[R29TJR]

I'll be coming along, although need to be home by 2.30 so I'll be leaving after Farmers Fayre.

Are you guys still meeting at Birchanger Services @frayz @MrBlonde @Jekyll if so what time? As if ok I'll follow...

Were meeting at the Shell Station for 07:15 and plan to leave for 0730.Then once on the A14 were meeting the Norfolk boys to go up together @Lewi86

No problem mate were leaving at Farmers Fayre at 12 to get to Caffeine and Machine for 1230 so perfect time for you to leave to get home.

 

[MrBlonde]

[cp1991]

I'm hoping to get my ph1 out the garage tomorrow and do some bits on it ready for this. If all goes well I'll book a ticket and get my name down on the list.

 

[mhj360]

I'm interested! C&M is now saying sold out for the 12:30 - 15:30 slot on September 5th I've added myself to the waiting list in case any more tickets become available, but I'll aim to be at the Farmer's Fayre between 9:30 and 10:00am regardless

 

[Craighrs200]

Has anyone got 2 spare tickets looks like caffeine and machine have sold out?!

 

[aaronlopes7]

Roll call for anyone coming from down south again, 5 of us leaving chieveley services around 7:45/8, some nice back roads after a stint on the A34 to arrive at Farmers fayre for around 10am 👍🏽

 

[MrBlonde]

In a way,its good that its sold out.Looks to be busy then,Not for you boys tho that dont have a ticket,sorry.

 

[SharkyUK]

It seems quite a few tickets have been sold now that the weather is looking rather nice for the weekend...

 

[RustyMojo]

We’ll be kicked off site by 1525 anyway as despite not doing ‘club meets’ they will need to get rid of all the horrible French s**t boxes to make way for the Robin reliant owners club… 😂

Speak for yourself... I'm bringing the Robin Reliant!

 

[frayz]

Actually… which red shitter are you bringing? 😅

 

[SharkyUK]

Well d'uh - the red one, obvs.

I'll be in the GT4 as the Trophy still needs work that I haven't had time to finish yet.

 

[VenomUK]

I think a suggestion from the last meet is that we leave our french egos at the gate and just all park out the back on the grass area to not attract attention to ourselves. We may not get kicked out then to make way for someone with small man sausage in a bright green car.

Ah yes! That was a good shout. Park up on the grass at the rear. Leave the Instagram spots to everyone else.

 

[frayz]

What…!!
You mean C&M aren’t as all inclusive as they spout to be? Shock horror! Lol.
Balls to that, I’d park my French box at he front door just to annoy em. 🤣

Oh yes! It would be funny to completely lock out the yard with french rotters...I'm sure people would soon get angry! You are spot on though, they aren't inclusive at all in all fairness!

 

[RustyMojo]

To be honest @frayz i think it’s clear behind all the hashtags, they want photographs of rare exotica. I don’t think they were impressed last time when the yard filled with Clios. Even when many were much rarer than the usual Instagram fodder. It’s all about ‘stance’ and likes….point proved when they didn’t post a single picture of a clio the day we were there. But spammed the s**t out of the ‘gram’ in the afternoon….it’s their business, their rules I guess.

That said it’s a decent venue, central to most and kind of works well. I think the idea being if we all went into the ‘grass area’ we would be left alone and unlikely kicked out. I really like the place and it’s 40 minutes drive from me, but I do find them a bit frustrating.

A former work colleague of mine has set up something similar in Northamptonshire called ‘Car Natter’ seems a nice venue and they are desperate to get car clubs there. I could reach out to him in the future to see if we could have a Renaultsport day there. I know he would accommodate.

 

[MrBlonde]

That is true they seem to like exotic cars,VW or Japanese really.

Yep we can try Car Natter next time mate👍🏻 @RustyMojo

 

[RustyMojo]

I’ll like up with Baz who owns the place… probably best for next year now I guess with the weather turning. Unless everyone wants one last meet before the end of the ‘season’
