May oxfordshire meet feeler thread

[StephenJ]

Looking at sorting out an Oxfordshire meet for may, I could possibly sort out a route for a decent drive then stop off at a pub for some food and drink if the numbers make it worthwhile.

Who could I expect?

 

[stevescort172]

Me depending on what day it is.

We Really need an oxfordshire meet going on as nothing happens round this way

 

[Tim.]

It's a big county, can you narrow the meet point down a little?

 

[StephenJ]

Initial meet point of the Kassam stadium? I'm open to ideas tbh.

 

[Cub.]

Tim, if you're keen I'll make the trip North aswell.

 

[Owen_m]

If it was a fairly big meet I'd be up for coming but I'm in Northamptonshire !!!

 

[Adam.P]

Depending on where and when, count me in.

 

[Feates172]

I'm in. Where ever it is and whenever.

Perhaps everyone interested could put down where they are exactly from, so it will be easier for Steve to work out a meeting point.

I'm Abingdon

Feates172 - Abingdon
Tim. - Newbury

[Feates172]

Chievely services meet up? Drive to somewhere close by for some nice pictures? Then take a trip too the Toby carvery for a roast? Providing we do it on a Sunday?

Might have to book a table though? Other people in Newbury area might have some better ideas? That Toby car park is quite small.

[StephenJ]

The bigger the better so locations would be helpful and keep the suggestions coming.

Never been to a carvery James so that's appealing.

 

[Feates172]

There is a bigger one Banbury way with quite a large car park.

Bit of a trek from our end mind.

Banbury would be ideal

I don't mind, there's gotta be somewhere Toby Carvery like round the outskirts of Oxford?

 

[Feates172]

Nah, our closest one is Newbury, and it's miniature.

I'm up for whatever really, id be happy enough if it actually happens. And quite a few turn up.

 

[Michael Woodford MST]

I'd be up for this.

 

[Feates172]

Think we should pick a date so people can actually see if they are free or not? I reckon Sunday the 5th as its bank holiday weekend. Or the weekend after.

 

[Tim.]

It's Simply French at Beaulieu on Sunday 12th May, I assume you'll all be there?

 

[Feates172]

Not heard anything about it mate.

Do this the weekend before the 12th or weekend after then.

Never heard of it TBH lol

 

[Feates172]

Just looked at it. I'm up for it. Simple for me. A34 m3 and a little
M27.

[Cub.]

I'll be at Simply French, unless the wife has a fit at me.

 

[Feates172]

Are the stalls cheaper than normal? I need some new buckets and grit guards and drying towel. Will wait till then if that's the case.

 

[Feates172]

So is this still in discussion?

I'm well up for a meet again.
(I will pick you up Stephen if you want)

 

[StephenJ]

I'm well up for organising if I can get some idea of when an where people want to meet.

Cheers James.

 

[BeXE]

I'm in, potentially.

 

[Feates172]

Shall we say a date of Saturday the 25th or Sunday 26th may?

Which ever one is better for most people

I'm glad there's som more movement on a meet! I'll be honest due to happenstance I've not made any of the previous ones despite harping on about how important it is to get them going! :quiet: haha... Keen to take the 200 out for a spin.... needs a clean first mind you...

 

[Tim.]

Feates - my advice would be to take the bull by the horns. Decide on a specific date, time & meeting location, post up the details and see how it goes from there. You'll get nowhere fast if you wait for people to post up when they can/can't do.

 

[Feates172]

Yeah sounds fair enough.

I'm going to say Sunday the 26th of may. 2pm meet up at the Chievely services at the A34/m4 junction.

Then head into Newbury, through to hungerford, a nice road that leads all the way into wantage. Then pop into either a pub for some food and a drink. Or go to the local mc Donald's at the Milton services near didcot. Back up the a34 for one junction to the ridgeway for pictures, general chit chat. Then we can discuss what to do after, whether it be go home or whatever.

By this time I expect it to be about 4-5pm. So probably home for our roasts. I know some ppl have them at lunch time, which is why I've said a 2pm meet up.

Sound good? (Weather permitted)

 

[J9owy]

i would be up for a meet like this, im going to be in thatcham/newbury in a hotel from the 13th for 2 weeks for work training.

 

[StephenJ]

I'm in Feates. Will find my way to you if it's easier dude, text me nearer the time.

 

[Feates172]

Up to you pal, depends how easy it is for you to get to Abingdon. I have no problem picking you up though.

Hopefully it goes ahead, just need people to confirm.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Should do it on the Monday, I'm racing at Castle Combe, come and say hello.

 

[cazzy]

I'm up 4 this!

 

[Feates172]

Monday? Or the Sunday? Could do the 27th. Id prefere the sunday, but can do monday. I didn't realise it was a bank holiday. Hopefully it's a nice weekend.

 

[Paskov]

Hoping I can make this! I should be able to do either Sunday or Monday. Will be my first meet

 

[BeXE]

I'm in for Sunday 26th.

Feates, just stick with the date - you can never accommodate everyone.
